Anderson (1-0) allowed four hits and four walks while striking out four across 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Yankees.

Anderson walked two batters in the first three innings but settled in to work effectively through the Yankees lineup. This was his longest outing of the season and the first time he's completed at least six innings. It's been an inconsistent start to the campaign for Anderson -- he entered the game having allowed seven earned runs across his last 10.1 innings -- though he's still managed to maintain a 3.27 ERA despite posting only a 23:11 K:BB across his first 22 frames. Anderson projects to take his next turn through the rotation Tuesday against Chicago.

Davies allowed two earned runs on five hits across across four innings and did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 16-4 win over the Mets. He walked two and struck out two.

Davies got more than enough run support, but he couldn't last five innings to qualify for the win. The righty continued a trend of not going very deep into games, as he's now pitched four innings or fewer in three straight starts. Davies is 0-2 during the stretch, and he has an unsightly 8.80 ERA for the season. He'll look to pitch a little better in his next scheduled outing Monday against Atlanta.

Martinez (0-4) took the loss Wednesday as the Cardinals fell 1-0 to the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over six innings while striking out three.

The right-hander was sharp in delivering his first quality start of the season, firing 62 of 91 pitches for strikes. Unfortunately for the Cards, Max Scherzer was in Cy Young form for the Nats. Martinez will take a 6.00 ERA and 13:5 K:BB through 21 innings into his next outing Tuesday at home against the Phillies.

Houser allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings in the win Wednesday against the Padres. He did not factor in the decision.

Houser was able to limit the Padres to just one run in the third and fourth innings after allowing a leadoff double in both innings. Other than that, he slid past the Padres in 4.2 innings of minimal damage. The 28-year-old has the worst ERA amongst Brewers starters despite sporting a respectable 3.32 figurethrough 19 innings. His next start will come at home Tuesday against the Marlins.

DeSclafani allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over four innings during Wednesday's 6-5 loss at Philadelphia. He had five strikeouts and didn't factor in the decison.

The 30-year-old gave up two runs across his first three starts of the season, but Mickey Moniak took him deep with a three-run homer Wednesday. DeSclafani still has a 2.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB through 21 innings this season, and he'll attempt to get back on track Monday versus the Rockies.

Gomber (1-2) allowed two runs on two hits and a pair of walks with six strikeouts in six innings, earning the win Wednesday versus the Astros.

The only damage on Gomber's line came from a Yuli Gurriel two-run homer in the second inning. Gomber showed improved control, only allowing two walks for the second consecutive start. He has a 3.38 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 21.1 innings this season, but he also sports a 20:15 K:BB through four starts. The southpaw has worked at least six innings in each of his last three outings, and he's scheduled to take the mound Monday in San Francisco.

Eflin allowed one run on seven hits and zero walks over six innings during Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Giants. He had three strikeouts and didn't factor in the decison.

The 27-year-old continues to showcase strong control early in the season with only two walks through four starts. Eflin left Wednesday's contest with a 4-1 lead, but the bullpen promptly surrendered four runs after his exit. The right-hander has a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB through 26 innings, and he lines up to pitch at St. Louis early next week.

Anderson (2-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in five innings in the first game of a doubleheader against the Tigers.

Anderson threw 64 of his 90 pitches for strikes. He benefited from the Pirates' three-run fourth inning to give them a lead. Anderson has been solid in 2021 with a 3.92 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB across 20.2 innings. He is expected to make his next start during next week's two-game series versus the Royals.

Rogers (2-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Orioles after allowing four hits and one walk while recording eight strikeouts over seven scoreless innings.

The 23-year-old generated 17 swinging strikes as he limited Baltimore to one double and three singles Wednesday afternoon. Rogers has a 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB across 22 innings through four starts this season, and he lines up to pitch Monday at Milwaukee.

Manager Brian Snitker said Wednesday that Fried (hamstring) is still considered day-to-day, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Fried has been dealing with a right hamstring strain that he sustained while running the bases, and it's not yet clear when he'll be cleared to return to game action. If the southpaw is forced to miss another turn through the rotation, Bryse Wilson would likely start once again Sunday with Drew Smyly (forearm) slated to return from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
