Quintana yielded three runs on five hits and three walks over four innings in Sunday's win over Washington. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

All three runs allowed by Quintana came during the second inning when he coughed up RBI singles to Riley Adams and Victor Robles. The veteran southpaw saw his ERA rise to 3.86 through 9.1 innings. He's also sporting an uninspiring 5:5 K:BB and 1.61 WHIP. Quintana is lined up to start at Wrigley Field against the Cubs next week.

Ober (1-1) gave up two unearned runs over six innings with three strikeouts and no walks to take the loss in Sunday's matchup against the Red Sox.

Ober left with the Twins trailing 2-1, but the bullpen gave up six runs after he departed. Ober has a 3.27 ERA and 7:3 K:BB ratio over 11 innings in two starts this season. He'll next pitch Friday against the White Sox as the Twins will move to a five-man rotation with Sonny Gray on the injured list.

Corbin allowed two runs on three hits and three walks over 5.1 frames in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Corbin fired five shutout innings before stumbling in the sixth. He loaded the bases with one out and was charged with two runs after he was replaced by Victor Arano. The veteran lefty now owns a 7.50 ERA through 12 innings this season. Corbin is expected to face the Giants at home next week.

Velasquez (0-1) took the loss after allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks in 4.2 innings while striking out five in a 9-3 loss Sunday against the Rays.

In the four-run first inning, Velasquez walked in two runs and made an error that allowed another run to score. However, the righty calmed down and at one point retired 10 straight batters. The 29-year-old has six walks over 8.2 innings this season after setting a career high with 4.7 walks per nine innings in 2021. His next scheduled start is Friday in Minnesota.

Cortes allowed three hits and a walk while striking out 12 in five scoreless innings during Sunday's loss to the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

Cortes had a career-best season in 2021, and he's gotten off to a hot start in his first two appearances this year. The southpaw was efficient during Sunday's matchup in Baltimore, throwing 62 of his 88 pitches for strikes en route to a career-high 12 punchouts. While he didn't get any run support from the Yankees, it was encouraging to see him continue to build up his pitch count with another early season gem that included an immaculate inning in the bottom of the fourth. Cortes tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Guardians on Friday.

Civale (0-1) allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and a walk over four innings Sunday, striking out five and taking the loss against San Francisco.

The Giants got on the board in the second innings with Thairo Estrada's two-run shot off Civale. The 6-foot-2 righty then allowed another pair of runs in the fourth after a throwing error. Civale has now coughed up eight runs (five earned) through 7.1 frames to begin the season. He'll look to turn things around on the road against the Yankees next week.

Urquidy (1-1) took the loss during Sunday's 7-2 defeat at the hands of the Mariners, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk with two strikeouts in four innings.

Urquidy permitted one run in the first before surrendering five in the fourth, capped by a Ty France three-run homer. Though it's early, the 26-year-old's strikeout total is noticeably down with just four whiffs through nine innings in two starts thus far. He's set to square off against Toronto on Saturday for his next start.

Goss (shoulder) made his season debut Wednesday in Low-A Charleston's 3-1 loss to Columbia, pitching two innings and giving up a run on two hits and no walks while striking out two.

Goss was shut down for most of the 2021 season with a right shoulder impingement, though he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League over the final month of the campaign. The right-hander is expected to fill a starting role at Charleston this season, but expect his innings to be monitored carefully coming off the shoulder injury.

Mahle (1-1) was handed the loss during Saturday's 9-1 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Mahle started strong by facing 10 batters total through the first three innings, but Los Angeles got to him in the fourth with seven runs and eight baserunners before he was pulled. It was a disastrous third start for the 28-year-old, who performed well in his first two starts, though he's now failed to make it past five innings in any appearance. He's currently slated to take the mound against the Cardinals on Saturday for his next start.

Wood (1-0) allowed four hits and two walks over five scoreless innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over Cleveland.

Wood never found himself in much danger Sunday; only two Guardians reached scoring position and he gave up just one extra-base hit. He tossed 59 of 87 pitches for strikes and forced eight whiffs. The 31-year-old southpaw is now sporting a 1.93 ERA through 9.1 innings. Wood is expected to take the mound in Washington next week.
