Junk (2-0) picked up the win after throwing five innings, allowing one run on five hits and no walks while striking out five during Friday's 6-2 win against Atlanta.

Junk has worked in bulk relief, but this was his first true start since 2023. His task was keeping a dangerous Atlanta lineup in check, and he turned in a great performance over five innings of work. Together with his last outing, the 29-year-old is 2-0 and has thrown 10.2 innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts. With Max Meyer on the shelf with a hip injury, Junk might have earned himself more starts. This spot in the rotation is next scheduled to come up with the Marlins on the road at the Giants.
