Gallen (2-10) allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks over 5.1 innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Dodgers.

Gallen stumbled out of the gate Monday, allowing three runs in the first inning after his offense went up 1-0 before he took the mound. He escaped a few jams on his way to four straight scoreless frames before allowing another run in the sixth. Gallen allowed three or fewer runs in his previous four outings and watched his ERA climb to 4.44 after taking his third consecutive loss. The 26-year-old righty is lined up to face the Astros in Houston this weekend.

Kershaw allowed one run on four hits and a walk over 4.1 innings in Monday's win over Arizona. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Making his first MLB appearance since July 3, Kershaw was pulled after just 50 pitches. He gave up a run on two hits and a walk in the first inning but he retired 11 of the last 13 batters he faced. The veteran southpaw lowered his season ERA to 3.33 with a stellar 132:20 K:BB through 19 starts. Kershaw is projected to face the Reds on the road this weekend where he should have a slightly longer leash.

Rodriguez allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk over six innings in Monday's loss to Seattle. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

After he was hammered for six runs in his last outing, Rodriguez turned in a fourth quality start over his last six appearances. He allowed a run-scoring groundout in each of the first two innings but settled in for four shutout frames after that. Rodriguez lowered his season ERA to an even 5.00 with a 165:40 K:BB through 28 starts. He's lined up to face Baltimore at home this weekend.

Gilbert allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings in Monday's win over the Red Sox. He struck out nine and did not factor in the decision.

Gilbert coughed up a solo homer to Jose Iglesias in the third followed by another RBI base hit by Iglesias in the fifth. He completed six innings in a start for the first time since Aug. 10 and has now allowed two or fewer runs in three straight outings. Gilbert maintained his 5-5 record while lowering his season ERA to 4.97 through 101.1 frames. The right-handed rookie is projected to take the mound in Kansas City this weekend.

Darvish (8-10) allowed eight runs on six hits and three walks over four innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Giants.

Nearly all of the damage against Darvish came via the long ball as he coughed up four homers in the ugly outing. Five of the runs came in the first inning, including a three-run shot by Evan Longoria. The veteran righty then yielded a pair of home runs in the fourth. It was the first time he's given up multiple homers in a start since July 31 and he's allowed at least four runs in six of his last eight appearances. Darvish's ERA is up to 4.32 with a 177:36 K:BB through 150 innings. He's lined up to take the mound in St. Louis this weekend.

Gil tossed six innings, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out eight in the win over the Twins on Monday. He did not factor into the game's decision.

The 23-year-old struggled with the long ball in this one, surrendering his first three of the season. He was much more effective with his strike zone command Monday than in previous outings, only walking one after issuing 14 walks in 19 innings prior. Gil now owns a 2.88 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 25 innings on the year. He's projected to start next at home this Saturday versus Cleveland.

Odorizzi left Monday's start against the Rangers due to right foot soreness, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Odorizzi appeared to suffer the injury while covering first base, though initial indications bring positive news. He allowed two hits and struck out one across 1.1 scoreless frames prior to being lifted.

Odorizzi left Monday's start against the Rangers with an undisclosed injury, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The team trainer came to check on Odorizzi in the bottom of the second inning, and after one warmup toss, he was lifted from the contest. The team should have details on the injury after further evaluation.

Paddack was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to right elbow inflammation.

According to Dennis Lin of The Athletic, Paddack's arm felt tight Saturday following his start, and the Padres were unsure as to whether he could make his next start. This move is retroactive to Sunday, meaning he'll be available to come off the injured list beginning Sept. 22. Shaun Anderson was recalled in a corresponding move.

Perez (illness) is expected to be activated from the injured list ahead of Tuedsay's game against Seattle, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Perez has been kept away from the team due to COVID-19, but he should be back in the bullpen Tuesday. He's accrued a 4.88 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with a 92:35 K:BB across 107 innings so far in 2021.
