Musgrove (1-0) picked up the win in his season debut in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out six batters over five innings.

Musgrove missed over three weeks to begin the campaign due to a fractured toe and a subsequent shoulder injury he suffered while rehabbing. The right-hander made it back to the big club Saturday and pitched well enough to pick up the win, tossing 80 pitches (53 strikes) and giving up three runs across five frames. Musgrove induced 12 swinging strikes in the outing, a positive sign that his stuff isn't too far behind despite his late start to the season. He's tentatively lined up to the face the Giants at home his next time out.

Hill (2-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and three walks over five innings against the Reds. He struck out seven.

Hill has now allowed just two runs over his last 11 innings pitched. The southpaw is currently the oldest player in the league at 43 years old, but has still been a reliable presence this season. He has allowed three or fewer runs in all but one of his five starts this season, but he gave up seven runs in that exception. That has his ERA at a pedestrian 4.85 through 26 innings.

Miley (3-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over five innings against Boston. He struck out three.

Miley gave up a two-run home run to Yu Chang in the fifth inning, but was otherwise sharp Saturday. That is three wins in four starts for the 36-year-old southpaw. Miley's numbers are excellent this season with a 1.96 ERA and a 17:4 K:BB over 23 innings. Miley is currently lined up to face the Angels next week.

Wright (0-1) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk over five-plus innings against the Astros. He struck out two.

Wright was rolling through five innings. He had allowed just three hits and no runs to the Astros, but he didn't record an out in the sixth as five straight batters reached, including a couple of two-run home runs from Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker. After three starts, Wright has a 5.93 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 13.2 innings and is still looking for his first win of the season.

Sanchez didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over Colorado, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

Making his first big-league appearance of the season after recovering from a triceps strain, the 26-year-old southpaw was able to last 73 pitches (46 strikes) and exited the game with the score tied 3-3. Sanchez was likely only making a spot start, but it's not clear whether he'll head back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after this outing or whether he'll remain in the Phillies' bullpen as a long relief option.

Freeland (2-2) took the loss Saturday as the Rockies were downed 4-3 by the Phillies, giving up four runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

Despite being away from Coors Field, the southpaw still got hit hard, with Nick Castellanos leading the way for the Phillies by slugging solo homers in the second and sixth innings. Freeland sports a 4.28 ERA and 18:7 K:BB through 27.1 innings, losing his last two outings after kicking off the season with three straight quality starts. The 29-year-old will look to get back on track when he next takes the mound, which is likely to be at home next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Peterson (1-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings during a 7-4 loss to San Francisco. He struck out eight.

Peterson allowed four runs in the first inning and two more in the second, but he was still able to get through five frames and struck out a season-high eight. The left-hander has given up at least five runs in three of his first five starts and currently sports a 7.36 ERA with a 30:9 K:BB through 25.2 innings.

Webb (1-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over seven innings during a 7-4 win over the Mets. He struck out eight.

Webb gave up an RBI double to Daniel Vogelbach in the second and a solo shot to Brandon Nimmo in the third, but he got plenty of run support and cruised through a season-high seven innings en route to his first win. Through five starts (30.2 innings), the right-hander sports a 4.40 ERA with a dominating 36:4 K:BB.

Wesneski (1-1) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over 4.1 innings during a 9-4 loss to the Dodgers. He struck out one.

Wesneski allowed a leadoff single to Mookie Betts, a double to Freddie Freeman and walked Max Muncy to load the bases in the first, but he limited the damage by inducing a double play from J.D. Martinez. However, that wasn't the end of the trouble for the young right-hander, who served up a solo home run to James Outman in the second and an RBI single to Outman in the fourth. Wesneski came out for the fifth but was pulled after Mookie Betts reached on a fielding error by Patrick Wisdom with one out. Outside of a stellar start in Oakland, Wesneski has really struggled to begin the campaign after showing flashes last year. He'll look to find some rhythm in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for the Cubs' upcoming three-game set with the Padres.

May (2-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over 5.1 innings during a 9-4 victory over the Cubs. He struck out six.

May allowed a leadoff single to Nico Hoerner and walked the next two batters, but he got out of the first inning surrendering just one run on an RBI groundout by Seiya Suzuki. The right-hander got tagged for another run in the fourth when Eric Hosmer ripped an RBI double and was pulled in the sixth with a runner on first and one out. May has failed to get through the sixth inning in three straight starts, allowing multiple runs in each of those contests after giving up just one run over his first two outings (13 innings). His six strikeouts were a season high, and he owns a modest 19:10 K:BB through 29.1 innings.
