Gutierrez (0-2) took the loss in Friday's 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in four innings.

After a clean first inning, Gutierrez surrendered one run apiece in the second, third and fifth innings to fall in line for the loss. That's now consecutive losses for the 26-year-old, who has gone fewer than five innings and thrown under 80 pitches in each start. He's tentatively lined up to face off against the Padres on Wednesday.

Anderson (1-0) picked up the win during Friday's 3-1 victory over the Reds, allowing one run on four hits with two strikeouts in four innings.

Making his second appearance of the season, Anderson allowed his lone run and all three baserunners in the sixth inning against the heart of Cincinnati's lineup. The 32-year-old lefty has now followed starter Tony Gonsolin in consecutive appearance and, if the trend sticks, is slated to pitch again Wednesday against Atlanta.

Gonsolin didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 3-1 win over Cincinnati, allowing three hits and three walks with two strikeouts in four scoreless innings.

Gonsolin permitted baserunners in each inning but was able to escape unscathed, most notably dodging a bases-loaded jam in the third inning. The 27-year-old has now allowed just one run through two starts, though he's only pitched seven total innings and hasn't made it past 74 pitches. He's tentatively lined up to take on Atlanta on Wednesday.

Peralta (0-1) took the loss Friday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts over three innings in a 10-1 loss to St. Louis.

After getting the first two batters out, Peralta allowed the next six to reach safely in a four-run first inning. The Cardinals added two more runs in the second as the 25-year-old needed 77 pitches to complete three innings. The All-Star right-hander has gotten off to an inauspicious start to the season, failing to make it past the fourth inning in either of his outings and allowing more than a run an inning. His next start is scheduled for Friday in Philadelphia.

Mikolas (1-0) earned the win, allowing one run on three hits and a walk in 6.2 innings while striking out seven in a 10-1 win Friday in Milwaukee.

Mikolas allowed just one hit in his first six innings before getting into a little bit of trouble in the seventh. Coming off a rocky first start of 2022, the righty dominated the Brewers' lineup, retiring the side in order in four innings. The 33-year-old is now 6-2 in his career against Milwaukee with just five walks in 57 innings. His next start is scheduled for Thursday in Miami.

Rodon (1-0) allowed one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings Friday, striking out nine and earning a win over the Guardians.

Rodon began the game with six shutout frames, yielding just one hit, one walk and a hit batter during that stretch. The only damage against him came on a seventh-inning sacrifice fly by Owen Miller. Rodon forced nine swinging strikes and got 22 called strikes, throwing 90 total pitches in the outing. The 29-year-old is sporting a 21:4 K:BB and a 1.50 ERA through 12 innings. He's expected to face the Mets in New York his next time out.

Davies (0-1) took the loss Friday against the Mets, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits in 4.1 innings of work, striking out two while walking one.

Davies managed just one clean frame in his second start of the year. Pete Alonso drove in runs with sacrifice flies in both the first and third innings, while Robinson Cano hit a solo shot in the fourth and Francisco Lindor hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Davies now owns a 5.79 ERA and 1.61 WHIP through two outings, striking out four and walking four. He'll look to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up for Wednesday in Washington.

Bassitt improved to 2-0 on the season Friday by holding the Diamondbacks to just one run on two hits over six innings, striking out six and walking two.

Bassitt allowed a pair of baserunners in the first but faced just two more than the minimum over the next five frames. He gave up a leadoff homer to Daulton Varsho in the top of the sixth, but all that accomplished was cutting the Mets' lead to four. Bassitt hasn't faced the toughest opponents to start the season, as he took on the Nationals in his season debut, but he's done everything the Mets could ask for. Between the two outings, he's allowed a single run on five hits in 12 innings of work, striking out 14 while walking three. He'll face a tougher task next week against the Giants.

Peterson will start Sunday against Arizona, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The lefty is the seventh starter on the Mets' depth chart and didn't even make the Opening Day roster, but he'll be needed already in the 10th game of the season after Jacob deGrom and Taijuan Walker were sidelined with shoulder injuries. Peterson pitched four innings of scoreless relief after Walker exited his start Monday against the Phillies, so he's stretched out and on schedule for Sunday's outing. Through 24 career major-league starts and two relief appearances, Peterson owns a 4.49 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. He could get the chance to make multiple starts in place of Walker, who's expected to require a rehab outing.

Clevinger (knee) completed two scoreless innings in a rehab start with Low-A Lake Elsinore on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out five.

Clevinger impressed in his first rehab outing, throwing 24 of 31 pitches for strikes and registering five of his six outs via punchout. Most importantly, the right-hander emerged from the outing without any setbacks to his sprained right knee, per Jim Bowden of The Athletic. Clevinger will likely make at least one more rehab appearance before potentially returning to the Padres by the end of the month, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
