Cobb (wrist) doesn't believe he'll require a long stay on the injured list, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Cobb underwent scans of his wrist, which didn't turn up anything too worrisome. He's also no longer dealing with the blister that forced him to exit his most recent start early. Whether or not he'll be able to return in the minimum 10 days remains to be seen, but it doesn't sound as though he'll be out for an extended period.

The Mets outrighted Eickhoff to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

As anticipated, Eickhoff went unclaimed off waivers after the Mets designated him for assignment for the third time this season. The veteran right-hander has been roughed up over his five outings (four starts) at the big-league level this season, posting an 8.69 ERA and 2.03 WHIP across 19.2 innings.

Suarez will start Monday's game and be a starting pitcher going forward, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The lefty will throw about three innings in his first big-league start since 2018 and will build up for a larger workload. The acquisition of Ian Kennedy meant Suarez would no longer be the primary closer, and the Phillies feel he can be more useful as a replacement for the struggling Matt Moore.

Anderson (shoulder) has been throwing side sessions and will begin a rehab assignment soon, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Anderson, who was placed on the injured list July 16 with right shoulder inflammation, is scheduled to throw another side session Monday. The righty posted a 3.56 ERA and 5-5 record in 96 innings before the injury. It's unclear exactly when Anderson will return, but he figures to require at least a couple rehab outings after the extended absence.

Kaprielian's shoulder inflammation is not considered serious, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Kaprelian hit the injured list Saturday and will miss at least one start, but it sounds as though he may not miss much more than that. Daulton Jefferies will take his place in the rotation to start Sunday against the Angels.

Falter was cleared Saturday to return from the COVID-19 injured list but will need a rehab assignment, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer of reports.

Falter's most recent appearance was July 18, and before that July 10, so he needs a bit of minor-league work before rejoining the Phillies. It's unclear exactly when he'll be activated, but his rehab assignment doesn't figure to last more than a few games.

Gray (7-6) earned the win Friday against the Padres after tossing 6.1 innings of two-run ball, allowing four hits and three walks while fanning four.

Gray has gone undefeated over his last seven starts, posting a 3-0 record with a strong 2.61 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 9.8 K/9 in that span. Plus, the right-hander hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in four straight appearances and has posted five quality starts during that aforementioned seven-game span. He's going through his most dominant run of the season.

Rogers (back) will be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Yankees, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The rookie will have missed only one start with lower-back spasms, which landed him on the injured list July 24. Rogers has been slightly less dominant of late, allowing multiple runs in five consecutive starts after doing so just twice in his previous eight outings. Even so, the lefty takes a stellar 2.37 ERA and 125:37 K:BB into Saturday's matchup against the Yankees.

Kaprielian was placed on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder impingement Saturday.

Kaprielian was charged with the loss in his last outing when he gave up six runs in 4.1 innings against the Padres, and his shoulder issue could have contributed to his struggles. The right-hander had been scheduled to start Sunday's series finale against the Angels, but Daulton Jefferies will be recalled Sunday to take his place, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Kaprielian's move to the injured list will clear room on the active roster for Yan Gomes and Josh Harrison.

Gonsolin completed 1.2 innings against Arizona on Friday, allowing two runs on one hit and five walks while striking out one. He did not factor in the decision.

With Los Angeles anticipating a bullpen game Saturday, the hope was that Gonsolin could take down a decent chunk of innings. Instead, the right-hander was pulled after walking four batters and allowing two runs in a disastrous second inning. Gonsolin threw only 24 of 55 pitches for strikes overall and has now issued 11 free passes over his past 10.1 innings. He still holds a strong 2.78 ERA on the campaign, but additional struggles could put his rotation spot in jeopardy given the recent acquisition of Max Scherzer and the looming return of Clayton Kershaw (forearm).
