Sanchez allowed a run on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Monday against the Rockies. He struck out seven during the win.

Sanchez rolled through five shutout frames before Hunter Goodman ended his afternoon with a solo shot in the sixth inning. Sanchez tossed 59 of 93 pitches for strikes and forced 15 whiffs, including 12 on 22 swings against his changeup. He racked up seven or more punchouts in 11 of his 31 regular-season outings during the 2024 campaign. Sanchez is currently in line for a tough home matchup against the Dodgers this weekend.

Quantrill (0-1) took the loss after giving up six runs on eight hits and one walk in four innings Monday against the Mets. He struck out two.

Although Quantrill had allowed just one run through four innings, the Mets broke the game open in the fifth frame with seven runs, five of which Quantrill was accountable for. The veteran right-hander was unable to record an out in the inning before being pulled, and his night ended after serving up a grand slam to Pete Alonso. Quantrill's next start lines up to come this weekend in a tough matchup in Atlanta.

Peterson (1-0) picked up the win after giving up two runs on five hits and three walks in six innings Monday against Miami. He struck out nine.

After allowing a solo home run to Otto Lopez in the first inning, Peterson settled in thereafter while receiving plenty of run support. Eric Wagaman did tag Peterson for another solo shot in the sixth frame, but it was an otherwise strong season debut overall for the southpaw. Peterson's next start is tentatively scheduled to come this weekend at home against Toronto.

Crochet agreed to a six-year, $170 million contract extension with the Red Sox on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Passan notes that this deal won't go into effect until the 2026 season and includes an opt-out clause following the 2030 campaign. Crochet is currently under contract on a one-year, $3.8 million agreement until the end of 2025 and made only one start with Boston before the two sides were able to come together on a long-term contract.

Soroka left Monday's start against the Blue Jays with an apparent right hand injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. He allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings prior to departing.

Soroka appeared to be in discomfort after missing badly on his 83rd pitch of the night, and he walked off with the team trainer shortly after. He'll likely be taken to the clubhouse for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the team has more news to share.

Paddack (0-1) took the loss Monday against the White Sox. He allowed nine runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two across 3.1 innings.

Paddack's got off to a rough start Monday when he gave up a three-run home run to Andrew Vaughn in the first inning. Paddack proceeded to allow long shots to Andrew Benintendi and Michael Taylor and failed to get out of the fourth frame while tossing 89 pitches (54 strikes). Paddack earned a spot in the Twins' rotation after posting a 4.58 ERA and 21:4 K:BB across 17.2 spring innings, but Monday certainly wasn't an ideal beginning to the 2025 campaign for the 29-year-old right-hander. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is tentatively slated for this weekend at home against the Astros.

Perez (1-0) earned the win Monday against the Twins, allowing three walks across six hitless and scoreless innings while striking out nine.

Perez had a strong spring training with a 2.25 ERA across 16 innings, and that momentum carried into Monday's AL Central showdown. He retired 11 straight to begin the game, and after escaping a bit of trouble in the fourth inning, he finished his day striking out five of the last six batters he faced. Perez generated 11 whiffs and logged 14 first-pitch strikes to get the Minnesota hitters behind in the count. Perez is in line to start this upcoming weekend on the road against the Tigers.

The Pirates transferred Jones (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

This move won't affect Jones' timetable for a return, as he recently began a six-week no-throw program and is unlikely to be ready to make his season debut until at least June while he recovers from a UCL sprain in his right elbow. The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Alexander Canario, who was acquired from the Mets on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Atlanta recalled Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Atlanta placed Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, and Elder will be in line to take his spot in the rotation beginning with Wednesday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Elder didn't make the Opening Day roster after a poor showing in spring training, which came after the 2023 All-Star turned in a 6.52 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 49.2 innings last season.

Atlanta placed Lopez on the 15-day injured list Monday with right shoulder inflammation.

Lopez's velocity was down throughout spring training, and while it ticked back up in his season debut against the Padres on Friday, he managed just one strikeout over five innings. The right-hander will go on the IL with an arm-related concern for the third time since last season's All-Star break. Bryce Elder was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Lopez's spot on the roster and will start in his place Wednesday versus the Dodgers. Lopez will be eligible for activation in mid-April, but his absence is likely to extend beyond that.
