Kochanowicz will start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

With a rainout forcing the Angels into a doubleheader Wednesday, the team was in need of a starter for Sunday's game and recalled Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City to fill the void. The 23-year-old has made two starts for the Angels this season, surrendering 11 runs across seven frames. He isn't a recommended streaming option for Sunday.

Gallen was removed from Saturday's game against the Phillies with a suspected groin injury, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

The Diamondbacks' training staff came out midway through the fifth inning, and, after a short discussion, opted to remove Gallen from the contest. Gallen gave up his lone run of the start immediately before exiting, with Bryce Harper driving in Kyle Schwarber on a groundout. Gallen's final stat line included one run on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts across 4.1 innings. Gallen should undergo further testing Saturday night, and more information on his status should be provided in the coming days.

Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday and then rejoin the Dodgers to throw live batting practice later on in the week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Yamamoto has already completed multiple side sessions, and assuming all goes well during Tuesday's workout, he'll move on to the next phase of his rehab program by facing batters for the first time since going on the injured list June 16. The 25-year-old is still a week or more away from beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, and he's likely to require multiple outings on the farm to build up his pitch count and get stretched back out for starting duty. Yamamoto worked up to 30 pitches in his most recent bullpen session.

Atlanta returned Ynoa (elbow) from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday due to right shoulder tightness, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Ynoa underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2022 and pitched during spring training before starting the season at Triple-A Gwinnett. However, he was moved back on the injured list with elbow inflammation in late April and had completed five rehab outings before being returned Saturday with a shoulder injury. It's unclear how severe the setback will be, but Ynoa had thrown at least three innings in three consecutive minor-league outings and seemed close to being activated. In those three appearances, Ynoa allowed just one run with eight strikeouts across 9.2 innings .

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Buehler (hip) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Buehler initially looked to be tracking toward a return from the IL for Thursday's series finale with the Brewers, but he'll instead face Milwaukee a day earlier for what will be his first MLB outing since June 18. The right-hander made three rehab starts at Triple-A Oklahoma City, and after giving up eight runs in 7.1 innings between his first two starts, he appeared to right the ship in his final outing in the Pacific Coast League on Thursday. Buehler built up to 85 pitches Thursday, covering 5.1 innings and striking out five while allowing one hit and three walks. Before going on the injured list with right hip inflammation, the 29-year-old logged a 5.84 ERA with a 31:10 K:BB across 37 innings over his eight starts.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Saturday that Quantrill is dealing with general forearm soreness and will not start Monday's game against Arizona as previously planned, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

The Rockies had already pushed back Quantrill's start from Saturday to Monday, but it's now unknown when he'll make his next start. Quantrill's forearm soreness stems from his most recent outing Aug. 4, when he allowed three runs across 4.1 innings against the Padres. The right-hander should be expected to undergo further testing in the coming days, but for now, the Rockies don't seem to think that Quantrill will need to go on the injured list.

The Rockies selected Hudson's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his start Saturday versus Atlanta.

Hudson will come up from the minors to fill the hole in the Rockies' rotation left by Ryan Feltner (shoulder), who landed on the injured list Thursday. The 29-year-old Hudson owns a 5.84 ERA through 86.1 innings in the majors this season, and he'll have the disadvantage of pitching in Coors Field during his first start back in the big leagues. Chasen Shreve was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

General manager Mike Elias said Saturday that Rodriguez (lat) will be shut down from throwing for 10 days and hopes Rodriguez will be back sometime in September, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez is dealing with a mild right lat strain and was placed on the IL on Wednesday. While he'll be eligible to return Aug. 19, he's not expected to be activated until September. The 24-year-old has a 3.86 ERA and 130 strikeouts over 116.2 innings this season. Albert Suarez started in Rodriguez's place Tuesday and is expected to remain in the rotation while Rodriguez is sidelined.

Manager Bruce Bochy said that Eovaldi was removed early from his start in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader due to right side tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Eovaldi was able to get through only three innings in his start Saturday, during which he allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters. It's unclear how his injury will impact his status for his next scheduled start -- tentatively slated to come next week versus Minnesota -- but more will be known once the Rangers get an opportunity to take a closer look at him.

Rodon (13-7) picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rangers, allowing three hits and five walks over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

The southpaw wasn't exactly sharp as he set a new season high in free passes, but Rodon kept Texas from cashing in the extra baserunners en route to his fourth straight win. He was lifted after 110 pitches (64 strikes), falling just short of his 13th quality start of the year. Rodon has given up three runs or less in five straight outings, posting a 2.54 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 38:13 K:BB through 28.1 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come next weekend on the road in Detroit.
