Davies gave up five runs (four earned) in 3 2/3 innings against the Royals on Monday, exiting the game after taking a comebacker off his right shin.

Before that, he faced the Diamondbacks on May 17, holding them to two runs in seven innings. … Anderson has logged 43 2/3 innings this season, walking only five while striking out 42. … He has leaned more on his change-up this season than he has in the past, throwing the pitch 32.1 percent of the time, more than any other in his arsenal.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks

Where: Chase Field.

Pitchers: Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (3-2, 3.49) vs. Dodgers RHP Tony Gonsolin (4-0, 1.62).

TV/Radio: FOX/KMVP-FM (98.7), KHOV-FM (105.1).

Kelly allowed three runs in five innings against the Cubs on Sunday at Wrigley Field, an outing in which he was hurt by a popup that dropped on the infield. … He struggled against the Dodgers when he faced them last week at Dodger Stadium, giving up eight runs in two innings. Pitching coach Brent Strom said he thought Kelly might have been tipping pitches, adding that Kelly had made tweaks to his delivery to prevent it from happening again. … Gonsolin has been among the best pitchers in the National League this season. He hasn’t allowed more than two runs in a start. The Diamondbacks, though, have been the most successful team against him, scoring five runs (four earned) in 10 innings. … Last time out, Gonsolin struck out seven, walked one, gave up three hits and allowed just one run in six innings against the Phillies. … Gonsolin mostly throws a four-seamer, splitter and slider while also mixing in the occasional curveball.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks

When: 6:40 p.m. Friday

Where: Chase Field.

Pitchers: Diamondbacks LHP Madison Bumgarner (2-2, 2.76) vs. Dodgers RHP Ryan Pepiot (0-0, 3.86).

TV/Radio: Bally Sports Arizona/KMVP-FM (98.7), KHOV-FM (105.1).

Bumgarner gave up four runs in seven innings against the Cubs on Saturday at Wrigley Field. He struggled early, allowing back-to-back homers in the second and two more runs in the third, but eventually settled into the game. His seven strikeouts were a season-high. … After posting a 1.17 ERA in April, Bumgarner has a 4.66 ERA in May. However, he’s striking out more batters and walking fewer in May. … On May 16 in Los Angeles, Bumgarner allowed three runs in five innings in a 5-4 loss. …Pepiot has not been officially announced as the Dodgers starter, but he is with the team in Phoenix and is viewed as the most likely option, with a bullpen game being another possibility. … The Diamondbacks faced Pepiot at Dodger Stadium on May 17 in what was his second career start. He allowed three runs on two hits and three walks in four innings, striking out five. … Walks were an issue in his first start, as well, when he walked five vs. the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
