Garrett blanked the Mets over five innings during Thursday's win, allowing five hits and four walks while striking out six. He did not factor into the decision.

The 24-year-old, who was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Thursday's start, showed strong command this time around as he stranded each of his runners. Garrett's velocity wasn't at its strongest, with his fastball averaging 89 mph. In his five major league call-ups this season, the southpaw has given up 11 runs over 27.2 innings. Thanks to his successful outing, Garrett should have a chance to remain in the rotation with Trevor Rogers (personal), Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Cody Poteet (knee) all on the shelf.

Hill allowed one run (unearned) on three hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings during Thursday's loss to the Marlins. He did not factor into the decision.

Rich's only run allowed was unearned due to an error by Michael Conforto. Otherwise, Hill turned in his best outing since being acquired from Tampa Bay. As a Met, the lefty has registered no-decisions in his first three starts, allowing six earned runs over 15 innings thus far. Overall this season, Hill has put together a 3.92 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. The 41-year-old is projected to make his next start at home next week against the Nationals.

Gallen (1-6) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Giants after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while fanning six across 5.2 innings.

Gallen didn't have his best stuff Wednesday but still ended just one out away from recording what would've been his fourth quality start of the campaign. The right-hander has given up three or fewer runs in all but one of his last seven starts and has posted a strong 10.9 K/9 in that span, but he has struggled to pitch deep into games and still owns a poor 5.18 ERA across 33 innings in that stretch.

Odorizzi (4-6) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Dodgers after allowing seven runs (six earned) on six hits and two walks while fanning three across three innings.

The main reason why Odorizzi lasted just three innings Wednesday was his issue with the long ball, as he gave up a season-worst four homers before departing the contest. Odorizzi allowed three homers in the season opener and seemed to since have that issue under control, but the problems have resurfaced of late and he has given up eight homers over his last four starts. He owns an 8.82 ERA and 1.84 WHIP across 16.1 innings during that four-game sample size.

Gausman was placed on the paternity list Thursday.

Gausman's placement on the paternity list was expected following Wednesday's start in which he allowed an earned run on five hits and no walks while striking out eight in six innings to return to the win column for the first time since July 11. The 30-year-old will be away from the team for several days but should be ready for his next outing, and he tentatively lines up to start at home against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Gray dropped to 7-7 on the season after working six innings and giving up three runs to take a loss Wednesday against the Cubs. He scattered eight hits and a walk and struck out six in the Rockies' 3-2 loss.

Though he looked to be one of the top starting pitchers most likely to be moved prior to last week's trade deadline, Gray ultimately stayed put in Colorado. While Gray couldn't preserve the Rockies' early 2-0 lead, he was mostly able to keep the Chicago bats at bay en route to turning in a quality start for the sixth time in seven outings. His ERA and WHIP now sit at 3.67 and 1.23, respectively.

Senzatela (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of Thursday's start against the Cubs.

Senzatela had been on the COVID-19 IL since July 16, but he made a rehab start with the Rockies' rookie-level affiliate Saturday and allowed three hits and no walks while striking out three in four scoreless innings. The right-hander posted a 3.50 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 18 innings across his three starts prior to the All-Star break,.

Marsh has not pitched since June 15 due to an undisclosed injury.

This has been a particularly tough minor-league injury designation to track down. He logged a 4.97 ERA in six starts at Double-A prior to suffering the injury, but his 39.6 percent strikeout rate and .217 batting average against were strong marks. It was his 12.3 percent walk rate that was the big problem for the 23-year-old righty.

Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Thursday's start against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Garrett allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out 10 in seven innings during his most recent major-league start July 24, but he was still sent down following the outing. If he performs well Thursday, the southpaw should have the chance to remain in the rotation since Trevor Rogers (personal), Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Cody Poteet (knee) are all sidelined.

Bundy is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

After working as a reliever for most of the past month, Bundy picked up a start last week versus the Athletics, working 4.1 innings while surrendering three runs on two hits and four walks. While that outing likely won't be enough to keep Bundy in the rotation permanently, the recent trade of Andrew Heaney to the Yankees along with Alex Cobb's (wrist) move to the injured list will allow the 28-year-old to pick up another start. Whether working out of the rotation or bullpen this season, Bundy hasn't been remotely effective, compiling a 6.66 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 70:27 K:BB In 74.1 innings.
