Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said this week that the door is "slightly open" for Gonsolin (elbow) to pitch before the end of the season, per MLB.com.

Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery Sept. 1 of last year, so he's almost one year removed from the procedure. The right-hander pitched three live batting-practice sessions earlier in August, during which his fastball sat at 92-to-94 mph -- the same range as his velocity prior to his injury. Gonsolin recently said he's optimistic about his ability to pitch in game action before the end of this season, though Roberts was more conservative in his assessment. If Gonsoin does make it back to the big club, he'll work out of the bullpen.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Glasnow (elbow) could return to Los Angeles' rotation in mid-September in a "best-case scenario," per MLB.com.

Glasnow landed on the injured list for the second time this season Aug. 16 due to right elbow tendinitis. He played catch both Friday and Saturday and said after the latter session that he is "confident" he will return to the Dodgers' rotation before the end of the season, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Roberts previously stated that Glasnow will require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to a potential activation, and the ace pitcher's timeline suggests that, at maximum, he could pitch in three more regular-season games ahead of the playoffs.

Herz (2-7) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Herz cruised through four scoreless innings but then hit a wall in a four-run fifth frame. It was the first time in eight outings since the All-Star break that the rookie allowed more than two earned runs, though he has only pitched deep enough to earn one quality start in that span. On the season, Herz owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 88:26 K:BB across 70.1 innings and lines up to face the Pirates next weekend.

Assad (7-4) earned the win against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Assad allowed nine hard-hit balls and generated just two swinging strikes on 90 pitches but performed well enough to earn his second straight quality start. The 27-year-old has yielded three earned runs or fewer in each of his eight outings since the All-Star break, though he has failed to complete five frames in half of them. On the season, he owns a 3.21 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 106:53 K:BB across 126 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Yankees next weekend.

The Dodgers will recall Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Through the first five starts of his MLB career, Wrobleski has put up a 4.68 ERA and 1.20 WHIP alongside an 18:9 K:BB through 25 innings. He's now set to receive another chance to prove he can stick around in a Dodgers rotation that has been plagued with injuries, though he'll have the tough task of facing a Diamondbacks offense that boasts an incredible .850 OPS since the start of August.

Wicks (oblique) is expected to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Nationals in Washington, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Wicks had been scratched from his scheduled rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Friday in anticipation of his return to the big club, though it wasn't immediately known whether he would be activated this weekend or early next week. The Cubs have ultimately decided to bring Wicks back for Sunday, with Jameson Taillon getting bumped back a day in the schedule to start Monday against the Pirates as a result. Before he landed on the IL on June 15 with a Grade 2 right oblique strain, Wicks compiled a 4.18 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over 28 innings. He got stretched out to 4.2 innings and 73 pitches over the course of four minor-league rehab outings.

The Dodgers placed Kershaw on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a bone spur in his left big toe.

Kershaw was forced out of his start Friday against the Diamondbacks in the second inning due to the injury, and manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that the southpaw's toe has swollen to the point where it's hard for him to move around, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Kershaw will now be sidelined until at least Sept. 15, and the Dodgers will bring up Ben Casparius from Triple-A Oklahoma City to provide extra coverage in the bullpen for the time being. The Dodgers haven't announced who will take Kershaw's spot in the starting rotation.

The Giants recalled Black from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his start Saturday versus the Marlins.

The loss of Robbie Ray (hamstring) created an opening in the Giants' rotation, and Black will now come up from the minors to plug the gap. The 24-yera-old righty hasn't been impressive in his MLB career so far (8.79 ERA through 14.1 innings), but he's built some momentum in Triple-A with several consecutive solid outings, and he'll have the benefit in facing a Marlins offense that ranks 29th in the big leagues in total runs scored this year (509). Austin Warren was optioned to Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Gibson (8-6) earned the win against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with six strikeouts over seven innings.

Gibson tossed three separate 1-2-3 innings and earned his first win since July 7. While he threw just 55 of 93 pitches for strikes, he didn't issue a walk -- this was only the second outing in which the veteran didn't walk a batter this season. On the year, he owns a 4.39 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 134:56 K:BB across 147.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

The Reds selected Buchanan's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

The Reds acquired Buchanan from Philadelphia on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, and the 35-year-old now has the opportunity to pitch in the majors for the first time since 2015. He posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 102.2 innings during his time with the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate and will most likely be used as a multi-inning reliever while with the Reds. Evan Kravetz was DFA'd in a corresponding move.
