Wheeler (1-3) allowed one hit and four walks while striking out seven across six scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday against the Rockies.

Wheeler soothed some early season concern with an outing that was reminiscent of his excellent 2021 campaign. The only hit he surrendered was a leadoff triple to Sam Hilliard in the third inning, but Wheeler managed to work out of the jam. The only downside to Wheeler's start was that he issued four free passes, though he still threw 62 of his 90 pitches for strikes and began 15 of the 22 batters he faced with a strike. Through 18.2 innings, Wheeler owns a bloated 5.79 ERA but Thursday's start was a step forward.

Detmers (1-1) allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters to earn the win against Cleveland on Thursday.

The left-hander kept the Guardians off the scoreboard for four innings before Austin Hedges slugged a solo home run with two outs in the fifth. Detmers bounced back to retire the next batter and line himself up for the victory. The 22-year-old allowed five runs over 3.1 innings against Texas in his his second start of the campaign but has since yielded just three runs over 10 frames. His strikeout numbers haven't yet exploded the way they did in the minors -- Detmers has a modest 16 punchouts across 17.1 innings this season -- but he appears to be settling into the final slot in the Angels' rotation. His next start is likely to come in Boston next week.

Corbin (0-4) allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out eight across six innings to take the loss Thursday against the Marlins.

Corbin turned in his longest outing of the season and picked up an impressive 14 swinging strikes on 90 pitches. He allowed only one unearned run through six innings, but he came out to begin the seventh frame and both runners he faced reached base and ultimately came around to score. Despite the positive start, Corbin has now walked multiple batters in every appearance this season and has a 23:13 K:BB across 19.2 innings to go along with an 8.69 ERA.

Skubal (1-2) allowed six runs (three earned) on six hits across five innings to take the loss Thursday against the Twins. He walked two and struck out four.

The Tigers committed four total errors in this one, which certainly didn't do Skubal or the three relievers any favors. The lefty now has a losing record but has pitched well overall with a 3.05 ERA and 20 strikeouts across 20.2 innings this season, so wins should come if he gets more run support and some better defense behind him. Skubal will look to even up his record in his next scheduled start Wednesday against an exploitable Pittsburgh lineup.

Taillon allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across 4.2 innings Thursday against Baltimore. He did not factor into the decision.

Taillon surrendered a run in both the second and third innings, but his primary problem was his inefficiency. He needed 83 pitches to record 14 outs while scattering seven hits -- including two doubles. On the positive side, Taillon continued to show strong control, as he's walked only two batters across 17.1 innings to begin the campaign. He's also maintained a solid 3.26 ERA across 19.1 frames, but he has now worked either 4.2 or five innings in all four of his starts.

Miley (elbow) will throw again at some point this weekend, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Miley threw 46 pitches in a live batting practice session Wednesday, and it appears that he is feeling well one day after. After his weekend session, the team will move forward with the next step in his progression, which could be another live BP or even a minor-league rehab assignment.

Mahle (1-3) took the loss to the Padres on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

Mahle allowed a first-inning run but was able to settle down and scattered two hits across the next four innings. However, he surrendered a leadoff double to Manny Machado in the sixth and was taken out after walking Eric Hosmer. Both runners came around to score as the Padres notched a four-run sixth inning to reclaim the lead. After tossing five scoreless in his first outing, Mahle has allowed multiple runs in four consecutive outings and has taken the loss in each of his last three starts.

Quintana allowed one run on four hits across five innings and didn't factor in the decision during Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers. He had nine strikeouts and zero walks

Quintana allowed a leadoff home run to Andrew McCutchen, but the veteran lefty settled down and tossed five strong innings, including a season-high nine strikeouts. Across his first four starts with Pittsburgh, Quintana has a 3.32 ERA and 17:8 K:BB across 19 frames. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday in Detroit.

Peralta tossed six scoreless innings on three hits and zero walks during Thursday's 3-2 win over the Pirates. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

After a bumpy start to the campaign, Peralta has allowed just six hits and one run over his last 11 innings. He currently sports a 5.00 ERA and a 23:8 K:BB across 18 total innings. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday against the Reds.

Bradish will be called up from Triple-A Norfolk to start Friday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Bradish has had a strong start to the season at Norfolk, posting a 1.20 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in 15 innings during three starts. He'll make his major-league debut at home on full rest since Dean Kremer (oblique) and Chris Ellis (shoulder) are on the 10-day injured list. If the 25-year-old Bradish performs well Friday, it's possible he'll remain in the rotation until Kremer or Ellis are cleared to return.
