Wacha did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks with six strikeouts over six innings.

Wacha surrendered a two-run homer in the fourth inning but otherwise kept the Yankees in check. It actually marked a season high in runs allowed for the 34-year-old, and he's now 4-for-4 in quality starts to open the campaign. He'll carry a sterling 1.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB over 27 innings into a home matchup against the Orioles next week.

Webb (2-2) earned the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.

Webb generated just five whiffs while tossing 64 strikes on 99 pitches, but he still logged six punchouts for the third time in five starts this season. He went out for the sixth inning looking to pick up his second quality start of 2026, but he gave up an RBI single to Jose Tena in what was still a relatively easy victory. Webb's 58.9 percent groundball rate is one of the best in the majors, and his 27 strikeouts (across 30 innings) are tied for sixth in the National League, though his 5.40 ERA is also tied for fourth worst in the NL among qualified starters. Webb's next start is slated for next week at home against the Dodgers.

Littell (0-2) took the loss against the Giants on Friday, allowing eight runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out four across four innings.

It was another tough outing for Littell, who has given up two home runs or more in three of his first four starts of the season. Six of the eight runs he yielded Friday came in the third inning, including a three-run homer off the bat of Heliot Ramos, and Littell was dinged for two more runs in the fourth, including a solo shot from Drew Gilbert. Littell posted a sub-4.00 ERA in each of the last two seasons, but he's opened 2026 with a 7.11 ERA and 1.74 WHIP over 19 innings. He's slated to start next week at home against Atlanta.

Schlittler did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 win over the Royals, allowing one unearned run on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings.

Schlittler opened with five scoreless frames before allowing an unearned run in the sixth. He generated 16 swinging strikes on 93 pitches to notch his second quality start of the season in a strong rebound after yielding six combined runs over his previous two outings. The 25-year-old will carry a stellar 1.95 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 36:3 K:BB across 27.2 innings into a road matchup against the Red Sox next week.

Yesavage (shoulder) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters Friday that there was some uncertainty as to whether Yesavage would join the team next week in Los Angeles. It sounds like the 22-year-old right-hander will get at least one more start in the minors, and Patrick Corbin's strong start Thursday against the Brewers may have factored into that decision. Assuming Yesavage doesn't suffer any setbacks in his next rehab start, he could rejoin the Blue Jays for the opener of their home series against the Red Sox that begins Monday, April 27. In Yesavage's last rehab start with Buffalo on Wednesday, he allowed three runs on seven hits (including two homers) and one walk while striking out five across 4.1 innings.

Cabrera (2-0) picked up the win in Friday's 12-4 rout of the Mets, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.

With the wind blowing out to left field, it looked like the two teams might be headed for an afternoon fireworks display at Wrigley Field when the Cubs struck for four runs in the bottom of the first and the Mets responded with three in the top of the second. Cabrera didn't allow another baserunner to even get into scoring position until the sixth inning, however, eventually exiting after 91 pitches (57 strikes). The quality start was the second for Cabrera in his first four trips to the mound for Chicago, and he'll take a 2.38 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 17:11 K:BB through 22.2 innings into his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Phillies.

Senga (0-3) took the loss Friday, coughing up seven runs (six earned) on six hits and three walks over 3.1 innings as the Mets fell 12-4 to the Cubs. He struck out three.

The wind was blowing out to left field at Wrigley Field, contributing to a three-run homer by Moises Ballesteros in the first inning and a two-run shot by Nico Hoerner in the second, but Senga also struggled to find the strike zone and tossed just 38 of 65 pitches for strikes before getting the hook. The right-hander appeared to be headed for a bounce-back campaign after a strong spring and a 16:5 K:BB through 11.2 innings in his first two starts of 2026, but in two outings since then Senga's been hammered for 14 runs (13 earned) in 5.2 frames while serving up four homers and managing a 6:5 K:BB. He's far from the only Met struggling right now -- Friday's loss was New York's ninth straight -- but Senga may need to turn things around quickly to keep his spot in the rotation. He'll try to regain his form in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the Twins.

Miller (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

General manager Justin Hollander said Miller will likely need the full 30 days to build his arm up, according to Kramer. The plan for Saturday is for Miller to throw two innings or 30 pitches. The right-hander missed almost the entirety of spring training and has been throwing for the last couple weeks. It sounds like he could rejoin the Mariners later next month.

Harrison (knee/wrist) will make a start during next week's three-game series in Detroit that begins Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Harrison injured his knee and wrist while covering first base in his last outing Saturday against the Nationals. Coleman Crow is making a spot start Friday versus the Marlins in Harrison's place, but the left-hander will be ready to take his next turn. Harrison has collected a 3.07 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 14.2 frames in his first three starts this season.

Fitts has undergone season-ending surgery on his right lat, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Fitts was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis earlier this week with a lat strain, and testing revealed the need for surgery. Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Friday that the long-term prognosis for Fitts is good, but the operation will cost him the rest of 2026 and it's possible he also gets a late start to the 2027 campaign. Fitts was acquired from the Red Sox over the offseason in the Sonny Gray trade and had posted a 1.76 ERA and 11:6 K:BB over 15.1 innings at Memphis.
