Feltner allowed three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings during Sunday's win over the Nationals. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Feltner coughed up a pair of runs in the second inning before Washington plated a third run in the fifth. Through two outings this season, he's given up eight runs with a 10:8 K:BB through 9.2 frames. The 26-year-old righty forced nine whiffs on 90 pitches Sunday. Feltner is lined up to start in Seattle next weekend.

Oviedo (1-0) earned the win Sunday, giving up five hits and no walks through 6.2 scoreless innings in the victory over the White Sox. He struck out five.

Oviedo stifled the White Sox offense all game and did not allow a single extra-base hit through his 6.2 innings pitched. The only run in this game came from a sacrifice fly provided by teammate Jack Suwinski in the first inning, which was all Oviedo needed to earn his first win of the year. The right-hander efficiently threw 62 of 89 pitches for strikes before exiting with two outs in the seventh inning, and he will look to keep the momentum moving in his next outing, likely to come next week in the series with the Cardinals.

Taillon (0-2) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Rangers.

Most of the damage against Taillon came during Texas' four-run second inning, though two were counted as unearned runs. He then gave up one more run in the fourth. Taillon forced just five whiffs but improved his season K:BB to 9:2 through nine frames. He's lined up for a road matchup with the Dodgers next weekend.

Woodford (0-2) took the loss during Sunday's 6-1 defeat to the Brewers, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

After back-to-back scoreless frames, Woodford got into trouble the second time through the order and surrendered a two-run double to Willy Adames in the third. Adames also hit a solo home run in the fifth to extend Milwaukee's lead to 3-1, ending Woodford's outing. The right-hander has now given up nine runs, including four homers, over his first two starts this season after posting a 2.23 ERA as a reliever in 2022.

Peralta (2-0) earned the win during Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

Peralta tossed three shutout frames before allowing an RBI single to Jordan Walker in the fourth, but he got out of the frame by retiring back-to-back batters. The right-hander's line Sunday was nearly identical to his first start, and he now has 14 strikeouts through 12 innings. Peralta is tentatively scheduled to pitch next against the Padres.

Carrasco (0-2) took the loss during Sunday's 7-2 loss to Miami, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out one.

Carrasco gave up a three-run shot to Bryan De La Cruz in the first and a two-run homer to Garrett Cooper in the fifth before getting replaced. The veteran right-hander has now allowed three homers through his first 8.2 innings this season after surrendering 17 across 29 starts (152 innings) in 2022. Carrasco and Mets manager Buck Showalter both attributed the pitcher's lack of velocity in his first start to the pitch clock, so it may take awhile for him to get adjusted to the new rules this season. Carrasco is tentatively scheduled to pitch next against the Athletics, which should be an advantageous matchup.

Garrett did not factor into the decision during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Mets, allowing two runs on nine hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday and took Johnny Cueto's (biceps) spot in the rotation. In his first start of the year and only second appearance, Garrett did a fantastic job of working around trouble but wasn't in line for the win after getting pulled in the fifth with two outs. The only blemishes on Garrett's ledger came on RBI singles to Francisco Alvarez and Pete Alonso in the second and fifth innings, respectively. Cueto isn't expected to be sidelined much longer than the minimum 15 days, but Garrett should still garner at least one more start before the veteran right-hander returns.

The Diamondbacks placed Davies (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Sunday

Davies strained his left oblique during his start in Saturday's win over the Dodgers. The right-hander will likely miss at least a few weeks while recovering, and there's a good chance he won't make another start for Arizona in April. Peter Solomon has been recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move, but Drey Jameson or Brandon Pfaadt are likely the top candidates to fill Davies' spot in the rotation.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that there will be more clarity on the status of Brubaker (elbow) at some point this week, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Brubaker is currently on the 60-day injured list with elbow and forearm discomfort, and there's been speculation that the right-hander could require Tommy John surgery. Even if he doesn't undergo the procedure, it's unlikely that Brubaker will be pitching for the Pirates until deep into the summer at the earliest.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that X-rays on Velazquez's left ankle returned negative, and the right-hander is expected to make his next start, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Velasquez turned his left ankle during Saturday's start against the White Sox, an outing in which he allowed five runs over 2.2 innings before departing. If he comes out of his next throwing session no worse for the wear, the 30-year-old is tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals next weekend.
