Miley (elbow) has been able to play light catch, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Miley was shut down for 10 days April 1 due to inflammation in his left elbow. While he is making some progress, he does not appear to be all that close to a return.

Anderson (toe) will make his scheduled start Sunday against the Reds, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

As expected, the right big toe blister that resulted in Anderson being removed early in his final Grapefruit League start Monday against the Rays won't prevent him from making his first turn through the regular-season rotation. The 23-year-old may be on a limited pitch count Sunday, however; he didn't cover more than three innings in any of his three spring starts.

Wright (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Reds, scattering two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings while striking out six.

It was a fantastic season debut for the 26-year-old right-hander, who fired 56 of 76 pitches for strikes and didn't allow a baserunner to get into scoring position. Wright is looking to lock down a spot in the Atlanta rotation this year after struggling in multiple stints in the majors over the last four seasons, and he'll try to keep this momentum going in his next scheduled start, Friday on the road in San Diego.

Gutierrez (0-1) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings as the Reds fell 2-1 to Atlanta. He struck out four.

It wasn't a particularly sharp season debut for Gutierrez, who threw 45 of 76 pitches for strikes, but the Cincinnati offense also gave him little support. The 26-year-old right-hander could have a hard time hanging onto his rotation spot this year once everyone is healthy with top prospects Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo getting looks, and Gutierrez is facing a tough matchup in his next scheduled start Friday on the road against the Dodgers.

Adon (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Nationals fell 5-0 to the Mets, giving up four runs on four hits and four walks over 4.1 innings while striking out three.

Making his second career start in the majors, Adon looked nervous, uncorking two wild pitches and plunking Starling Marte in addition to his free passes. Adon threw only 47 of 86 pitches for strikes and saw all four of the runs he allowed crossed the plate when Pete Alonso drove a fifth-inning fastball down the line for a grand slam. The Nationals don't have much in the way of rotation depth right now, so expect Adon to get more chances to show he belongs in the bigs. The right-hander at least gets a more favorable matchup on paper in his next scheduled start, Thursday on the road in Pittsburgh.

Bassitt (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, giving up three hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 5-0 victory over the Nationals. He struck out eight.

It was a tremendous Mets debut for the veteran right-hander, who tossed 66 of 93 pitches for strikes and got all the offensive support he needed on a Pete Alonso grand slam in the fifth inning. Bassitt lines up for another enticing matchup next weekend at home against an Arizona squad that ranked 25th in the league in runs last season.

Rodon didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Marlins, giving up one run on three hits and two walks over five innings while striking out 12.

Making his Giants debut after signing a two-year deal with the club in the offseason, Rodon mowed down the Marlins over 89 pitches (61 strikes), and the only run he allowed came on a single, a throwing error and a wild pitch on a third strike to Jorge Soler. Rodon faces a familiar foe from his White Sox days in his next scheduled start, a road outing Friday in Cleveland.

Lopez didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Giants, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.

The right-hander blanked San Francisco for four innings before Steven Duggar connected on an RBI double with two outs in the fifth to tie it up and cost Lopez the win in the low-scoring affair. Lopez threw 55 of 79 pitches for strikes, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next scheduled outing Friday, at home against the Phillies.

Gibson (1-0) earned the win over Oakland on Saturday, hurling seven scoreless innings during which he allowed two hits and no walks while striking out 10.

Gibson put together one of the most impressive pitching performances thus far during the opening weekend of the 2022 campaign, inducing 17 swinging strikes en route to the fourth double-digit strikeout performance of his career. The veteran hurler allowed only two harmless singles and didn't walk a batter, needing just 82 pitches to make it through seven frames. Gibson is expected to have another favorable matchup in his second start of the campaign, which is slated to take place on the road against Miami next week.

Steele (1-0) pitched five scoreless innings, giving up four hits and one walk while striking out five in a 9-0 win Saturday over Milwaukee.

Steele scattered four singles and induced two double-play groundballs as he shut down the Brewers' offense. He needed 77 pitches to complete five innings and left with the Cubs leading 7-0. Last season, the lefty started his last nine appearances with mixed results. He struggled to prevent walks and home runs but limited hits and struck out more than a batter an inning as a rookie. His next start should be next weekend in Colorado.
