Dollander (1-0) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings in a win Sunday versus the Athletics.

Dollander was hurt by the long ball, allowing a two-run shot to Tyler Soderstrom in the first and a solo blast to Lawrence Butler in the fifth. He did show plenty of promise, topping out at 99.3 MPH with his fastball and getting out of an impressive bases-loaded jam in the fourth with back-to-back strikeouts. Dollander will have his work cut out for him in his next start, which is set to be on the road versus the Padres.

Pallante did not factor in the decision during a loss to Boston in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. He allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings while striking out six.

Pallante rolled through three shutout frames before David Hamilton put Boston on the board with an RBI single in the fourth inning. Rafael Devers followed that up with a solo shot in the fifth. Pallante threw 53 of 92 pitches for strikes and generated 12 whiffs. He owns a 3.86 ERA with a 9:5 K:BB through 9.1 innings. Pallante's next start is lined up to be a home matchup with the Phillies.

Mikolas (0-1) yielded nine runs (eight earned) on 11 hits and a walk over 2.2 innings while taking a loss in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against Boston. He struck out one.

Mikolas coughed up a run in the first inning, and the Red Sox really picked it up from there. Boston plated five runs in the second and four in the third, and Mikolas was eventually chased after a whopping 81 pitches. His ERA shot up to 11.25 with a 4:3 K:BB through eight innings. Mikolas will continue looking for his first win in his next outing, which is projected to be at home against Philadelphia next weekend.

Bellozo is expected to be promoted from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Monday's game versus the Mets, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Bellozo will return to the big-league roster after being sent down to Jacksonville last week. The right-hander made the team's Opening Day rotation and tossed 4.1 innings of one-run ball against the Pirates on March 29. Bellozo could be in line for another brief stay with the big club, as he'll be filling in Monday for Sandy Alcantara (personal), who will likely rejoin the rotation later on this week while he temporarily steps away from the team following the birth of his cild.

Abbott (shoulder) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Abbott made his second rehab start and reached 92 pitches on the day. The left-hander will work a side bullpen session Tuesday, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, and the Reds will need to make a decision on whether to give him another rehab start or activate him. Abbott, who was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to March 24, is eligible to return April 9.

Hicks allowed three runs on six hits and a walk over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Seattle on Sunday. He struck out five in the victory.

Hicks was not as sharp as he was in his 2025 debut. He kept the Mariners' bats in check for the most part but coughed up solo homers to Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh in the first and third innings, respectively. Hicks generated 10 swinging strikes, including five with his sweeper. He's sporting a 2.38 ERA with an 11:3 K:BB through 11.1 frames. Hicks is lined up for a tough matchup in Yankee Stadium next weekend.

Williams (1-0) earned the win against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

Williams wasn't particularly efficient, throwing 57 strikes on 97 pitches with 10 whiffs, but he battled to extend his run of starts allowing three runs or fewer to 17. According to the Nationals, that ties him with Max Scherzer for the longest such streak in team history. On the season, the 32-year-old owns a 5.40 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB across 10 innings. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Marlins next weekend.

Burnes (0-1) took the loss against the Nationals on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts over five innings. He also hit two batters.

Burnes was given a 1-0 lead in the first inning but yielded four runs over his first three frames. He lacked command, issuing four free passes while inducing only eight swinging strikes on 89 pitches. The 30-year-old is off to a slow start, posting a 5.79 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB through 9.1 innings. He's slated for a home matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

Heaney did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over seven innings.

Heaney shook off a first-inning run to follow with six scoreless frames, generating 16 swinging strikes on 100 total pitches in the game. He certainly pitched well enough to earn his first win of the season, but the Pirates' bullpen squandered a three-run lead in the ninth. On the year, the veteran southpaw owns a 1.50 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB across 12 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Reds next weekend.

Glasnow did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Phillies, allowing five runs on two hits and five walks with two strikeouts over two innings.

Glasnow was handed a two-run lead in the first inning but came undone in the third as rain began to fall in Philadelphia. He gave up a run and allowed five consecutive batters to reach base before being pulled for Alex Vesia, who promptly surrendered a grand slam on his first pitch. The 31-year-old Glasnow owns a 6.43 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB across seven innings this season and will try to rebound at home against the Cubs next weekend.
