Griffin Canning is set to return soon from an ACL injury after successful rehab starts, while Lucas Giolito is on track to join the MLB roster by mid-May. Current starters Michael King, Randy Vásquez, Walker Buehler, Germán Márquez, and Matt Waldron are holding their spots, with potential plans for a six-man rotation. Joe Musgrove and Nick Pivetta remain sidelined with injuries, complicating roster decisions.
