Hoglund (1-0) earned the win Friday against Miami after allowing one run on six hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

Making his major-league debut, the 2021 first-rounder mostly cruised through Miami's lineup. Dane Myers took Hoglund deep for a solo homer to lead off the sixth inning, but the Athletics took a 6-0 lead in the fifth to give Hoglund plenty of cushion. The right-hander produced a 2.43 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB over 29.2 innings at Triple-A Las Vegas this year, and he almost certainly earned another chance in the rotation with Friday's impressive performance. Hoglund's next turn lines up for next week in a tough test versus the Mariners.

Bello didn't factor into the decision Friday against Minnesota after allowing one run on four hits and one walk in 6.2 innings. He struck out five.

After beginning the season on the injured list with a shoulder strain, Bello was able to reach the 100-pitch plateau for the first time in three starts this year. The right-hander also worked into the seventh inning for the first time, yielding a season-low one walk in the process. However, Bello did concede a home run, a third-inning solo shot to Ryan Jeffers, in his third straight outing. Bello will try to reduce the hard contact when he takes a 2.55 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 17.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus the Rangers, who entered Friday ranked 29th in the majors in runs scored (103).

Ryan didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Red Sox after allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out eight.

Ryan worked at least five innings in his seventh straight start to open the season, and it was the fifth time he held the opposition to one run or less already in 2025. The right-hander's velocity was also up a bit, as he touched 95 mph 12 times, and it helped translate to an outstanding 17 swings and misses. Over 40 innings this season, Ryan now boasts a 2.93 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and a sparkling 47:5 K:BB. His ability to limit free passes would figure to play well in his next scheduled outing versus the Orioles, who ranked 25th in the majors in on-base percentage (.296) as of Friday.

Pepiot (2-4) took the loss against the Yankees on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 4.1 innings.

Pepiot allowed at least one baserunner in each of the first four innings, but was able to maneuver out of trouble without allowing a run. He was lifted in the fifth inning after giving up a walk and a double, and Pepiot was tagged for two runs after Paul Goldschmidt belted a three-run home run off Mason Montgomery. Pepiot generated just 10 first-pitch strikes and five whiffs on 88 pitches (55 strikes) and wasn't able to complete five innings for the first time in seven starts. He's in line to face the Phillies at home next week.

Fried (6-0) picked up the win in Friday's 3-0 victory over the Rays, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings.

It was another dominant performance by Fried, who faced the minimum number of batters in four of the seven innings. He generated 11 whiffs on 92 pitches (61 strikes) while inducing 10 groundball outs. Fried has recorded five straight quality starts and has allowed two or fewer runs in all seven of his outings this season. His six wins leads the majors and his 1.01 ERA through 44.2 innings is second best behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto (0.90). Fried is lined up to face the Padres at home next week.

The Red Sox recalled Dobbins from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

As expected, Dobbins will join the major-league roster ahead of Saturday's start against the Twins after Walker Buehler (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Dobbins earned wins in both of his starts with Boston so far this season, posting a 2.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB across 11 innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Kopech (shoulder) is expected to embark on a rehab assignment next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kopech has been dealing with a right shoulder impingement over the past few weeks after starting the season on the injured list due to right forearm inflammation. He's been ramping up his pitch count in bullpen sessions and is set to start facing batters. Barring any setbacks, Kopech will start his rehab assignment next week, and how he responds after each outing will determine a timeline for his return to the majors.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reports Friday that Snell (shoulder) is expected to resume playing catch next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Snell had his throwing program shut down after experiencing a setback with his left shoulder injury that caused him to be placed on the 15-day injured list April 6. He received a cortisone injection for his left shoulder this past Monday and will travel with the team to Miami next week to resume his throwing program.

The Rockies placed Feltner (back) on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 29.

Feltner had his last start pushed from Sunday to Monday against Atlanta due to a back issue. He took the loss in that outing after allowing five runs on a season-high 10 hits. He's eligible to be activated off the IL on May 14, but he'll undergo further tests to establish a concrete timeline for his return. The Rockies recalled Bradley Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Weathers (forearm) is continuing his rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander is working his way back from a forearm strain he suffered during spring training, and he covered three scoreless innings during his first rehab start last weekend. Weathers will continue building up his workload Friday and will likely require at least one additional rehab outing beyond that before making his season debut for the Marlins.
