Gutierrez was reinstated from the restricted list Sunday.

Gutierrez was issued an 80-game suspension for PEDs in June of 2020, and he served the majority of the ban last season. He threw 137 innings at Triple-A Louisville in 2019, and he could make an impact with the major-league pitching staff at some point during the campaign.

Strasburg (shoulder) has been throwing from 120 feet, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Earlier in the week, it had been reported that Strasburg was throwing from 75 feet, so this marks progress in his return from shoulder inflammation. He'll still need to throw from a mound before re-entering the rotation, so his activation from the injured list is not imminent.

Snell tossed 5.1 innings against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.

Snell held the Dodgers mostly in check and was in position for a win over 5.1 frames, but he was removed with one out in the sixth inning after having thrown a modest 87 pitches. The move backfired on the Padres, as the bullpen gave up three runs in the remainder of the frame en route to a loss. Snell has yet to get out of the sixth inning this season, though he hasn't yet given up more than three runs in a game. He'll carry a 3.92 ERA into his next start, currently scheduled for Saturday at home against San Francisco.

Gausman hurled eight innings in a no-decision against Miami on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out 11.

Gausman was dominant in the start, inducing 21 swinging strikes and allowing only a pair of hits. His lone mistake resulted in a Jon Berti home run in the seventh inning, but a strong outing by counterpart Pablo Lopez helped keep Gausman from earning his second win. Nonetheless, the right-hander has enjoyed a strong beginning of the campaign, going at least six innings in all five of his starts and registering a 2.14 ERA along with a 34:10 K:BB across 33.2 frames. He'll head to San Diego to face the Padres in his next scheduled start Friday.

Lopez completed six innings against San Francisco on Saturday, yielding one run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.

Lopez and Giants starter Kevin Gausman went toe-to-toe in a pitching duel, with each pitcher giving up a single run on two hits. Lopez didn't go as deep into the game as his counterpart, but he stuck around long enough to pick up his second straight quality start and third overall on the campaign. The right-hander has been very effective in four of his five starts this season and owns an excellent 2.93 ERA, though he doesn't yet have a win to show for it. He'll try to change that when he faces the Nationals in Washington on Friday in his next scheduled start.

Stroman (3-1) took the loss Saturday as the Mets fell 7-1 to the Nationals, coughing up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Things weren't going the Mets' way right from the jump, as a Michael Conforto two-base error put Nats leadoff hitter Josh Harrison on third base after a single on Stroman's second pitch of the game. The right-hander never seemed to regain his focus, allowing runs in all four frames before he made his exit, and he finished the day having thrown 43 of 72 pitches for strikes. Stroman will take a 2.25 ERA and 15:5 K:BB through 24.1 innings into his next start Friday in Philadelphia.

Nola (2-1) earned the win Saturday against the Rockies after giving up four runs on six hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out four.

Nola might have allowed a season-high four runs, but he still earned his second win of the season while also performing at the plate -- he went 1-for-3 with two runs scored. The star right-hander owns a strong 2.84 ERA after five starts and is slated to take the ball next week against the Cardinals.

Senzatela didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Phillies. He allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while fanning four across five innings.

Senzatela gave up a two-run shot to Rhys Hoskins as part of a four-run third inning, but he settled down afterward and only allowed two baserunners the rest of the way before being lifted. It hasn't been a good start to the season for the 26-year-old right-hander, though, as he has given up four or more runs in three of his first five outings while posting a 5.76 ERA.

Peralta didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over four innings while striking out seven.

The right-hander checked out after throwing 81 pitches (52 strikes) and was in line for the loss until the Brewers' bats got rolling in the fifth inning. Peralta has struck out at least six batters in all five of his starts but has lasted longer than five innings only once, and his inefficiency does put a cap on his wins potential and fantasy value. He'll take a 2.45 ERA and 38:13 K:BB through 22 innings into his next outing Thursday at home against the Dodgers.

Miley (2-2) allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two across six innings to take the loss Saturday against St. Louis.

Miley got off to a shaky start, as he allowed three singles and one earned run in the first inning. However, he rebounded to turn in another strong outing by letting only three more hitters reach base across his next five frames of work. Despite punching out only 16 batters across 22 innings, Miley has maintained a strong 2.45 ERA to this point in the season. He's projected to draw his next start Friday against the Cubs.
