Jones came away with a no-decision in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Orioles, giving up two runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

The rookie right-hander got taken deep by Ryan O'Hearn in the second inning and Gunnar Henderson in the third, but he settled down after the solo shots and delivered his first career quality start while generating an incredible 21 swinging strikes among his 80 pitches. Jones has a dazzling 17:2 K:BB through his first 11.2 big-league innings, but things won't get any easier for him in his next outing, which lines up for a road start next week in Philadelphia.

Gomber came away with a no-decision in Friday's 10-7 win over the Rays, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out seven.

The southpaw ran up high pitch counts in the first couple innings but was able to limit the damage, eventually hitting the showers after 89 pitches (57 strikes). Gomber has a 6.23 ERA and 10:6 K:BB through his first 8.2 innings this season, and he'll need to rein in the walks if he's going to be a streaming option even away from Coors Field. He lines up for another home start next week against Arizona, however.

Hendricks didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Dodgers, allowing five runs on eight hits over four-plus innings. He struck out one.

After allowing a pair of runs in the first inning, Hendricks held the Dodgers off the board until the fifth when he allowed three more runs before recording an out. It's been a rough start to the campaign for the 34-year-old Hendricks -- he's allowed 10 earned runs on 17 hits through his first two starts (7.2 innings). The right-hander will look to get on track in his next outing, tentatively lined up for next week in San Diego.

Miller (1-1) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

After striking out 11 over six scoreless innings in his first start of the season, Miller crashed back to earth Friday, surrendering five runs in the second inning before departing with two outs in the frame. The 25-year-old right-hander has already endured the ups and downs typical of a young pitcher, though his long-term outlook remains encouraging. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, currently lined up for next week in Minnesota.

Teheran is scheduled to start Monday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The veteran right-hander's agreement with the Mets became official Friday, and he's scheduled to make his first start of the season against the team he made his big-league debut with back in 2011. Teheran will be available for up to 75 pitches and could also be an emergency option for an inning out of the bullpen Friday in Cincinnati.

Lodolo (calf) is scheduled to make his final minor-league rehab start Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The left-hander threw 77 pitches during his previous rehab outing and should push up over 90 pitches Sunday. Lodolo had been targeting Wednesday versus the Brewers for his season debut, but he now lines up to face the White Sox next Friday.

The Brewers claimed Gutierrez off waivers from the Marlins on Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Gutierrez made one four-inning relief appearance for the Marlins earlier this week before being designated for assignment. He will either be used as a starter or in long relief at Nashville.

The Marlins transferred Perez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

The transaction came just a few hours after president of baseball operations Peter Bendix announced that Perez would undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery Monday. By transferring the 20-year-old right-hander to the 60-day IL, the Marlins were able to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for utility player Otto Lopez, whom Miami claimed off waivers from San Francisco on Thursday.

Miley (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start for Triple-A Nashville on Friday, MLB.com reports.

Miley opened the season on the 15-day injured list due to a left shoulder impingement, but he looks on track to be ready to return shortly after he's first eligible for activation April 9. After his shoulder checked out fine Monday following a two-inning simulated game, the veteran lefty will test himself in an uncontrolled setting Friday, and he'll likely increase his innings and pitch counts as well. The Brewers will determine the next step for Miley following the rehab start, but if he fares well Friday, his next outing could come with Milwaukee during its four-game series in Cincinnati at the beginning of next week.

Cobb (hip) said Friday he's been shut down from throwing for a few days due to some flexor tendon inflammation, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It doesn't appear to be a serious concern since Cobb is expected to resume throwing Monday, but any arm issue is a notable development as he makes his way back from offseason hip surgery. The 36-year-old's return timeline will be pushed back at least a week, which likely means he won't make his season debut until sometime in May.
