Suarez (0-1) was handed the loss during Sunday's 4-1 defeat by Houston, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks with two strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Suarez was able to escape a bases-loaded one-out jam in the third but didn't have as much luck in the fifth inning, when reliever Austin Warren allowed both inherited runners to score and put Suarez in line for the loss. Manager Joe Maddon is reluctant to let Suarez through opponents' orders a third time as he's reached six innings in only one of 15 starts over the past two seasons, which severely limits his upside. The 24-year-old lefty is slated to take the hill next Sunday in Texas.

Urquidy (1-0) registered the victory in Sunday's 4-1 triumph over the Angels, allowing one run on four hits with two strikeouts across five innings.

Urquidy surrendered the lone run on a Jack Mayfield solo shot in the second inning and was able to escape trouble in third when Kyle Tucker threw out Tyler Wade at the plate to end the inning. He was efficient, needing just 72 pitches to navigate five frames, but manager Dusty Baker opted to pull the righty rather than have him go through the order for a third time. The 26-year-old looks to build on a strong 2021 and 2022 in his next start in Seattle on Sunday.

Carrasco allowed one run on two hits over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Sunday. He struck out five and did not issue a walk.

Nelson Cruz greeted Carrasco with a long ball in the first inning, but Carrasco was fantastic after that. He allowed just a single the rest of the way and finished his outing retiring 15 batters in a row. He fed Washington a steady diet of offspeed pitches and looks like a strong fantasy option for next week's scheduled home matchup against the Diamondbacks.

Manager Charlie Montoyo said after Sunday's loss to the Rangers that Ryu has a hamstring contusion but should be fine, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Ryu was removed from Sunday's matchup in the fourth inning after he was hit by a comebacker, but he initially tried to wave off the training staff. He said that he doesn't expect that the injury will pose a problem, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the southpaw make his next start. He felt confident in his fastball for the first three innings of Sunday's matchup and tentatively lines up to start at home Friday against Oakland.

Anderson (0-1) took the loss against the Reds on Sunday, allowing five runs on three hits and five walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out one batter.

Anderson had little feel for the strike zone in this one, throwing just 39 of his 74 pitches for strikes. Command and control have always been a question with Anderson, but he's been able to work around those issues for the most part through 31 career MLB starts. On paper anyway, next week's scheduled outing in San Diego looks like a good spot for the 23-year-old to get right.

Kremer felt something in his oblique while warming up in the bullpen during Sunday's loss to the Rays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Kremer was in the mix to operate as Baltimore's No. 5 starter to begin the season, but he was instead warming up to come out of the bullpen Sunday before the oblique issue cropped up. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, and the 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Greene (1-0) picked up the win in Atlanta on Sunday in his big-league debut, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings.

The moment was not too big for the 22-year-old. He lit up the radar gun, as advertised, routinely touching triple digits with his fastball, and Greene also had solid command of his slider and changeup. He induced 14 swinging strikes on 92 pitches, working around a couple homers to beat the defending World Series champs. Greene famously was on the cover of Sports Illustrated at age 17 before he was drafted second overall by the Reds, and it's easy to dream on the upside with his stuff. The right-hander will face another tough test in the Dodgers next week in Los Angeles.

Snell was scratched from Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks with left adductor tightness.

Snell was confirmed as the starter for Sunday's contest earlier in the day, and it didn't become apparent that he wasn't starting until Nabil Crismatt took the mound to start warming up. Snell missed time down the stretch last year with a similar injury, though the severity of the issue this time around remains unclear.

Ryu was removed from Sunday's start against the Rangers after being hit by a comebacker near his left knee during the fourth inning, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. He allowed six runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 3.1 innings.

The veteran left-hander was likely coming out of the contest regardless since Texas had two runners on with three runs already across in the frame, but it's worth monitoring his status ahead of start No. 2. Ryu waved off the training staff before exiting the contest, so it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. His next turn through the rotation currently lines up for Friday versus the A's.

Mejia was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Mejia was designated for assignment Thursday, but he went unclaimed on waivers. He'll stick with the organization as a result and is likely to have a role in the rotation with Triple-A Reno.
