Cole (7-7) took the loss against the Astros on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.

It was a tough-luck loss for Cole, who logged his 11th quality start of the season Thursday. The veteran right-hander has been dealing on the mound of late, either posting a quality start or pitching at least five innings while yielding three runs or fewer in 10 consecutive outings. Cole will take a strong 3.19 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 105:21 K:BB over 98.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Anaheim against the Angels.

Arenado is dealing with right thumb inflammation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Arenado was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup versus San Francisco, and there was some speculation that it was due to his previous left side injury. The third baseman instead has a new injury altogether, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Arenado (undisclosed) was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Giants, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Arenado was set to start at third base and bat sixth in the series opener, but he will now be forced to sit. The 35-year-old was dealing with a left side/intercostal injury last week, and it is unclear if Thursday's absence is related to that injury or potentially something new. More information on Arenado's status will likely be provided in the near future, but in the meantime, Jose Fernandez will draw the start at the hot corner versus San Francisco.

Wrobleski (forearm) is expected to join Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Wrobleski had a throwing session Wednesday, and he appears to have avoided any setbacks in his recovery from left forearm inflammation. The southpaw was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 16, and it's possible that he will require only one outing with Oklahoma City before returning to the major-league roster. Wrobleski is eligible to be activated from the IL on Tuesday, and upon his activation, he's expected to operate out of the bullpen moving forward this season for Los Angeles.

Adames got a second opinion on his elbow Thursday and is expected to miss three to four weeks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The plan for Adames is to rest, rehab and get a PRP injection. The shortstop landed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 24 due to a sprain in his left elbow. He faces the possibility of being shut down for the rest of the season, as the Giants are not in the playoff picture. If he returns, it wouldn't be until the final weeks of the regular season.

Rodriguez said Thursday that he's suffered a setback with his elbow neuritis, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Rodriguez began a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Sunday, but the Giants paused his assignment after one game due to the setback. He's scheduled to see a specialist within the next few days, and a clearer picture of his return timeline should emerge following his doctor's visit. In the meantime, Drew Cavanaugh and Andrew Knizner will continue to split reps behind the plate for the Giants.

O'Brien earned the save in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Orioles, allowing a hit while striking out one with no walks in a scoreless ninth inning.

It was a much-needed clean outing for O'Brien, since the closer had taken losses in both of his previous two appearances while allowing seven runs over just 1.2 innings. O'Brien is now 34-for-39 in save chances this season with a 3.95 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 54:23 K:BB across 54.2 innings.

Rogers (9-9) took the loss Thursday against the Cardinals, allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.

Five of the runs charged to Rogers came via the long ball -- the lefty gave up a three-run shot to Blaze Jordan in the second inning before Ramon Urias added a two-run blast in the fourth. Coming into the day, Rogers had held opponents to three runs or fewer in 13 of his previous 14 outings, posting a 2.57 ERA across 84 innings in that span. Overall, Rogers' ERA sits at 4.38 across 25 starts (137.2 innings) this season with a 1.25 WHIP and 121:37 K:BB. He'll look to bounce back his next time out, currently slated to come next week in Colorado.

The Diamondbacks optioned Jameson to Triple-A Reno following Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Cubs.

Jameson made one appearance after getting reinstated from the 15-day injured list Sunday. He allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk over two frames in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Cubs. Jose Cabrera was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move Thursday.

The Diamondbacks recalled Cabrera from Triple-A Reno to start Thursday's game against the Giants.

Cabrera is starting on the mound Thursday in San Francisco to fill in for Michael Soroka, who's on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. In a corresponding move, Arizona optioned Drey Jameson following Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Cubs. Cabrera has made four MLB appearances this year and has a 5.60 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 17.2 innings.
