Gordon is scheduled to start Friday's game against Atlanta at Coors FIeld.

He'll be making his second straight turn through the Colorado rotation, and Gordon looks like he'll be sticking around for the foreseeable future with Ryan Feltner (shoulder) going on the injured list Thursday and German Marquez (elbow) having been ruled out for the season. Over his first four big-league outings, Gordon has gone 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB in 21.1 innings.

The Giants signed Howard to a minor-league contract Thursday.

Howard began the season with the Giants before being designated for assignment and then traded to the Guardians in July. Cleveland dropped him from its 40-man roster shortly after that, and he's now returned to the Giants organization and been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento. Howard holds a 6.21 ERA and 27:14 K:BB in 29 big-league innings covering three starts and six relief appearances in 2024.

Montgomery (7-6) took the loss against the Phillies on Thursday, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

Montgomery allowed at least one hit in each of the first five innings but managed to keep the Phillies off the board while pitching his way out of multiple jams. However, the veteran lefty's luck would run out in the sixth after he hit Nick Castellanos with a pitch, as he then failed to retire three of the next four batters before being relieved by Dylan Floro with two outs. Three of the four runs charged to Montgomery came across after he left the contest. He's failed to make it through six innings in five consecutive starts, and Montgomery has also issued multiple walks in each of his last three outings while posting only eight strikeouts over that stretch.

Allard (1-0) picked up the win over Arizona on Thursday, allowing one run on six hits over five innings while striking out three. He did not issue any walks.

Allard managed to keep the Diamondbacks off the board through the first four innings, allowing just three singles before surrendering a solo homer to Eugenio Suarez with one out in the fifth. The 26-year-old lefty would end up making it through the frame to post his longest outing of the campaign, while also going on to secure his first win. Allard has held opponents to three or fewer runs in each of his two starts and holds a 8:2 K:BB as he plugs a hole in the Phillies' rotation while Ranger Suarez (back) and Taijuan Walker (finger) are sidelined.

Gibson did not factor into the decision in Thursday's loss to the Rays, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out six.

Both runs charged to Gibson came across in the opening frame after he surrendered back-to-back hits to open the contest, followed by a two-run single from Dylan Carlson with two outs. The right-hander was able to keep the Rays off the board over the next five innings however, generating 11 whiffs while posting at least six strikeouts for the third time in his last four starts. Gibson is still looking for his first win since July 7, though he has managed to go six or more innings in three of his five outings over that span.

Tyler allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Thursday.

Tyler struggled from the outset, giving up two runs in the first inning. He was better after that, yielding just one additional run, though he exited after 84 pitches with one out in the fourth having allowed two of the first three batters in that frame to reach base. It was the fourth straight outing in which Tyler has failed to complete five frames -- in fact, he's reached the five-inning mark just once over his first seven starts. The right-hander has posted a poor 5.40 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 25:18 K:BB across 31.2 innings in the majors this season.

Greene allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six innings in a no-decision against Miami on Thursday.

All of the Marlins' scoring against Greene came in the fourth inning, when the hurler gave up three runs on three hits. That frame marked the end of a 24-inning scoreless streak for the right-hander, but he still finished with his sixth consecutive quality start. This was the first time in that span that Greene has given up more than one run -- he came into Thursday with a minuscule 0.27 ERA and 0.58 WHIP over his previous 33 frames. Greene has now pitched 136.1 innings on the campaign, surpassing his previous professional high of 132.2 that he established between Triple-A and the majors in 2022. There's no reason to suspect him of wearing down, however, given his recent run of dominance.

German is set to have his contract selected from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

German will join the major-league roster after compiling a 5.29 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 66 strikeouts over 68 innings in 13 starts with Indianapolis this season. The right-hander had an opt-out in his contract for Friday, so the Pirates opted to add him to the big-league roster. It's unclear if German will draw a start or not, but more information will likely be provided when the move is made official.

Gomber (3-8) was saddled with the loss Thursday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over three innings. He struck out one.

Gomber allowed five extra-base hits in the first inning, with a two-run blast by Pete Alonso representing the biggest blow of the four runs given up. A second dinger by Alonso to lead off the third was the final blow against Gomber, who was removed following the third frame. Thursday's outing marked the first time in 10 home starts this season that Gomber has allowed as many as five earned runs. While his next start is slated to take place away from Coors Field, Gomber's task won't be any easier as he's slated to face the red-hot Diamondbacks next week in Phoenix.

Peterson (6-1) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Rockies. He struck out five.

Peterson was provided a four-run lead prior to taking the hill and saw the lead grow as high as seven as he cruised to his sixth win. A Brenton Doyle sacrifice fly was the only run tallied against the Denver-born Peterson, who has now allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts. While his WHIP is still a bit unsightly at 1.42, he's successfully limited the damage to the tune of a 3.34 ERA over 12 starts spanning 64.2 innings. He's next slated to toe the rubber when Oakland makes the cross-country trip to take on the Mets in Queens.
