Fried (5-0) earned the win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings.

Fried gave up two hits and two walks in the first frame but limited the damage to one run. He settled in over the next five innings and retired the last eight batters he faced (including three strikeouts) to earn his fourth quality start of the season. Fried has a 1.43 ERA and 1.06 WHIP, which ranks third and 14th in the American League, respectively, among qualified starters. He'll look for a sixth-straight win in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Rays.

Gausman (2-3) took the loss in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, allowing six runs on three hits and five walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings.

Gausman got through the first two innings with relative ease but ran into trouble in the third. He issued a single and five walks (including two with the bases loaded) before giving up a bases-clearing double to Austin Wells that gave the Yankees a 6-1 lead. Gausman tossed 53 of his 71 pitches in the third inning before being lifted, and he was subsequently ejected for arguing balls and strikes from the dugout. He has now allowed 10 runs and walked eight batters in his past two starts. The right-hander is up to a 4.50 ERA and 1.03 WHIP through 34 innings.

Glasnow could be set for a stint on the injured list after exiting Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander described the injury as something that "kind of comes and goes," and he felt it grab at him while warming up for his second inning on the mound. Manager Dave Roberts said that he's more worried about Glasnow in the short-term than the long-term, suggesting that he believes the issue to be a minor concern. That being said, Roberts outlined that a stint on the IL is "certainly a possibility" for Glasnow, per Benjamin Royer of L.A. Times Sports. The 31-year-old will likely undergo additional imaging on his shoulder in the near future.

Kirby (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Kirby will face live hitters for the first time since being shut down due to right shoulder inflammation March 7. The right-hander will need a substantial build up before making his return to the Mariners' rotation, but Monday's session is a substantial step in his recovery. Kirby produced a 3.53 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a career-high 179 strikeouts over 191 innings in 33 starts last season.

Megill didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out nine.

Megill held the Nats to one run on just one hit (a Dylan Crews homer -- the first given up by Megill this season) through his first six innings. However, he'd allow two more hits in the seventh before turning it over to Jose Butto out of the bullpen, who allowed both inherited runners to score. Still, it's the first time Megill has made it through six innings this year, and he's yet to allow more than three earned runs in a start. His ERA sits at a sparkling 1.74 with a 1.13 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB across six outings (31 innings).

Parker did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Mets, allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and five walks over five innings.

While Parker's final line was disappointing, the left-hander did good work to make it through five innings after allowing five runs on 43 pitches in the first. Parker had held opponents to one run or fewer in four of his first five starts coming into Sunday -- his ERA now sits at 2.65 with a 1.13 WHIP and 20:16 K:BB across 37.1 innings. Parker's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Reds in his next outing.

Bido took a no-decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out one.

The 29-year-old right-hander faired well in this 90-pitch outing, firing 58 strikes. The lone blemish on Bido's performance was a leadoff 400-foot home run surrendered to Joshua Palacios to open the game, which is the third straight start in which he's allowed a homer. Through 31.1 innings, Bido has pitched to a 4.88 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Marlins in Miami next weekend.

Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Athletics, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.

After Jonathan Cannon looked sharp behind an opener Saturday, the White Sox found success again in having Martin pitch after opener Brandon Eisert. Despite generating only five whiffs, Martin looked solid and produced his first scoreless appearance of the season. With this 73-pitch effort, the Chicago right-hander lowered his season ERA from 3.95 to 3.24 across 33.1 innings. It wouldn't be surprising to see the White Sox deploy Martin in a bulk role again for his next rotation turn, which currently lines up to be against the Astros at home next weekend.

Soroka (biceps) allowed two earned runs on four hits and a while striking out four over 4.1 innings during his rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday.

The right-hander built up to 78 pitches in his second rehab outing, though he didn't quite reach the goal of five innings. Even so, Soroka may be built up enough to make his next start with the Nationals, though he'll need to rejoin the big club to be evaluated before any decision is made. If cleared to return from the 15-day injured list, he's likely to pitch next weekend in Cincinnati.

Lodolo (3-2) picked up the win Sunday at Colorado, allowing two hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

The Cincinnati southpaw had no trouble in the thin Coors Field air, efficiently picking up his fourth quality start on just 91 pitches. Lodolo completely silenced the Rockies, scattering two singles and generating 15 whiffs. The 27-year-old has been fantastic to open the season, pitching to a 2.25 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB across 36 innings. He is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Nationals at home next weekend.
