Peralta (1-0) did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing a run on three hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Peralta pitched well Wednesday, blanking St. Louis through his first five innings before he was ultimately charged for a run in the sixth in an eventual 2-1, extra-innings defeat. Through his first two starts with the Mets, Peralta's given up five runs on nine hits and two walks over 10.1 innings while striking out seven in both outings. He's currently slated for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks his next time out.

Crochet (1-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Astros, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits across five innings. He struck out seven.

The left-hander shut out the Reds over six frames in his season debut, but it was a different story for Crochet on Wednesday. After giving up two runs in the first inning, the 26-year-old surrendered a two-run homer to Carlos Correa in the fifth in an eventual 6-4 defeat. Crochet will look to get back on track in his next outing, tentatively lined up for next week at home against the Brewers.

Burrows (1-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Burrows had to contend with traffic Wednesday, though he managed to hold Boston to a pair of runs en route to his first win with the Astros. It was a nice rebound effort overall from Burrows after he gave up five runs on nine hits in his first start against the Angels. The right-hander is currently slated to face the Rockies at Coors Field his next time out.

Abreu earned the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox, allowing a run on one hit while striking out three in the ninth inning.

Abreu got off to an inauspicious start in the ninth inning Wednesday, as he gave up a home run to Roman Anthony to lead off the frame. However, the right-hander rebounded to strike out Boston's subsequent three batters to close out a two-run victory and earn his first save of the year. While Abreu has given up at least one run in all three of his appearances this season, Wednesday's outing certainly looks like a step in the right direction. Notably, his fastball velocity reached 97.4 mph after topping out at just 93.2 mph in his last appearance Sunday versus the Angels. Abreu figures to retain the ninth-inning job in Houston until Josh Hader (biceps) is able to return from the IL.

Manager Dave Roberts told reporters Wednesday that Wrobleski will get a start during the Dodgers' upcoming six-game road trip, Jon Paul Hoornstra of Newsweek.com reports.

Roberts did not indicate which day Wrobleski will start, but that will come either this weekend against the Nationals or next week against the Blue Jays. The southpaw was unable to crack the Dodgers' rotation coming out of training camp, but earlier reports indicated that the 25-year-old would serve in a hybrid role out of the bullpen. His ability to make spot starts will periodically give Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani and the rest of the Dodgers starters an extra day of rest. Wrobleski made his 2026 regular-season debut against the Guardians on Sunday, when he allowed three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two across four innings.

Rasmussen allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk across five innings Wednesday against the Brewers. He struck out eight.

Rasmussen matched his 2025 season high with eight strikeouts Wednesday. The right-hander has been sharp in two starts to open the 2026 campaign, allowing just two earned runs on six hits across 10 innings. Rasmussen will look to keep it going in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come next week at home against the Cubs.

Kikuchi (0-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

Although Kikuchi managed to keep the ball in the yard, the four free passes he piled up came back to haunt him a bit. Two of which came in the third inning, when the Cubs strung together five hits and tagged the left-hander for each of his five runs allowed. Kikuchi's next start is scheduled for next week at home against Atlanta, and he'll be aiming to get back on track after yielding seven runs across his first 9.2 innings of 2026.

Misiorowski did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out seven.

It was another strong effort from Misiorowski, with the lone damage coming on Yandy Diaz's two-run homer in the third inning. Through two starts, the right-hander has allowed three runs on six hits and five walks while punching out 18 over 11 innings. Misiorowski has also given up a pair of homers this year, with the long balls and walks being his only areas of concern at the moment. He is currently slated to face the Red Sox on the road his next time out.

Boyd (1-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Angels, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out 10.

Boyd was dialed in for his second start after coughing up six runs in a rough season debut, turning in his ninth career game with at least 10 strikeouts. The left-hander threw 64 of his 98 pitches for strikes Wednesday, and he also registered a staggering 20 whiffs on the afternoon. Boyd will be looking to carry this momentum into his next start, which is slated for next week at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field versus the Rays.

Martinez will start in right field and bat second in Wednesday's contest versus the Dodgers.

Martinez was out of the lineup for the first two games and three of the first four tilts of the season, but since then he's started three in a row and four of five contests. The switch hitter is 3-for-13 with one stolen base and a 0:5 BB:K in the early going this season.
