  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Goes six scoreless for second win

    Martin (2-0) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

    Martin needed just 85 pitches to log a quality start while limiting the defending American League champions to only singles . The 29-year-old has picked up back-to-back wins to open the season, allowing three runs over 11 innings with a 12:4 K:BB. He lines up for a road matchup against the Royals next weekend.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | MIL

    Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Secures first victory

    Harrison (1-0) earned the win Sunday versus the Royals, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

    Maikel Garcia's two-run homer during the third inning was all the damage Kansas City could muster against Harrison, who threw 55 of 90 pitches for strikes while generating 25 called-or-swinging strikes. The left-hander has yet to make it through six frames in his first two outings of the season, but it's otherwise been a strong start to the campaign with three runs allowed and a 14:3 K:BB in 10.1 innings.

  • Kris Bubic SP | KC

    Royals' Kris Bubic: Fans eight in loss

    Bubic (1-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Brewers. He struck out eight.

    The left-hander induced 18 whiffs on 96 pitches (58 strikes) on the way to eight strikeouts, but all four of the hits he gave up went for extra bases. Bubic also issued three walks for a second straight start to begin the season. The 29-year-old has a 4.09 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB across 11 innings and lines up to face the White Sox at home next weekend.

  • Ranger Suarez SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Another short outing

    Suarez (0-1) didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Padres, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.

    Suarez started the day well, holding San Diego scoreless through his first three innings. However, things began to unravel in the fourth, when the left-hander was tagged for three runs. Suarez then gave up a leadoff single in the fifth, eventually resulting in a fourth run, before departing. Suarez's Red Sox tenure has gotten off to a rocky beginning -- he's now given up eight runs on 13 hits across 8.1 innings in his first two starts. Suarez will look to turn things around in his next start, currently slated for next weekend in St. Louis.

  • Padres' Walker Buehler: Early exit vs. Red Sox

    Buehler (0-1) didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks across 2.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Buehler held his former team scoreless through his first two innings before unraveling in the third, where he'd ultimately allow four runs after leading off the frame with back-to-back walks. It's been a tough start to the year for Buehler, who's allowed seven runs across 6.2 innings in his first two starts. He'll look to get on track in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Rockies.

  • Eric Lauer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Eric Lauer: Not 100 percent Sunday

    Lauer (flu) was far from full strength Sunday and gave up two runs on three hits and three walks in two innings against the White Sox, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. Lauer took the loss.

    Lauer's start was pushed back one day due to the illness, but it sounds like it still negatively affected his performance. Miguel Vargas plated two runs with a triple in the first inning, and Lauer was fortunate to strand two-thirds of his baserunners in this one. He will presumably be back to full strength for next weekend's matchup at home against the Twins.

  • Chris Bassitt SP | BAL

    Orioles' Chris Bassitt: Another dreadful showing

    Bassitt (0-2) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks in two innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

    Following a disappointing Orioles debut that saw him give up four runs to the Rangers, Bassitt was unable to get back on track. The veteran right-hander exhibited a significant lack of control, launching just 32 of his 62 pitches for strikes while laboring his way through only two frames before Baltimore pulled the plug. It's worth mentioning he did sign with the O's fairly late in the offseason, so Bassitt could still be shaking off some rust. He was also hit by a line drive from Oneil Cruz in the second inning Sunday but was able to stay in the game, and his next outing tentatively lines up to take place against the Giants next weekend.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Needs another rehab start

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Kelly (back) will make one more rehab start before joining the big-league rotation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    The veteran right-hander will be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list Wednesday, but he'll instead make a second rehab start before being cleared for his season debut with Arizona. Kelly threw 72 pitches across five scoreless frames during his first rehab outing with Triple-A Reno on Friday and should continue building up his workload in his next start. He currently lines up to make his 2026 debut during the Diamondbacks' upcoming series in Baltimore, which runs from April 13 through 15.

  • Slade Cecconi SP | CLE

    Guardians' Slade Cecconi: Rebounds with six shutout frames

    Cecconi took a no-decision Sunday against the Cubs, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

    The right-hander bounced back in a big way following his season debut, when he surrendered six runs in 4.1 innings against the Mariners. Cecconi yielded a lone hit and fired 55 of his 85 pitches for strikes Sunday, and he perhaps benefitted from the elements of a chilly afternoon at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Cecconi has a difficult assignment in Atlanta slated for his next start, which might limit his streaming appeal.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Extends scoreless streak Sunday

    Cabrera took a no-decision Sunday against the Guardians, allowing no runs on one hit and five walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

    While Cabrera did dominate the Guardians in terms of keeping them out of the hit column, he did struggle to find the plate Sunday. The lack of control prevented him from working deeper into the outing, as the right-hander threw only 51 of his 97 pitches for strikes. It was the ninth time in his career that he lent at least five free passes, but Cabrera has managed to fire 11.2 scoreless innings so far in 2026 ahead of his next scheduled start against Pittsburgh.
