Hendricks didn't factor into the decision after allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks in six innings Tuesday against the Cardinals. He struck out four.

The veteran right-hander was sharp in his season debut and effectively shut down St. Louis' lineup besides Jordan Walker, who singled to plate a run in the second inning and went deep in the fourth frame to drive in another. Hendricks' momentum from spring training appears to have carried into the regular season thus far, as he turned in a 2.41 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 16 punchouts over 18.2 frames in the Cactus League.

Warren yielded two runs on a hit and four walks over five innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Tuesday. He struck out four during the loss.

The lone hit against Warren was a two-run shot by Corbin Carroll in the third inning. Warren struggled with his command and threw just 46 of 85 pitches for strikes in his 2025 debut. The 25-year-old righty produced a 10.32 ERA over 22.2 innings as a rookie last year and turned in a 5.09 spring ERA. Warren is currently in line to start in Pittsburgh this weekend.

Burnes allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Tuesday. He struck out eight.

Burnes recorded three strikeouts in two scoreless frames to start the contest before allowing four runs over the next two innings. He needed 98 pitches (65 strikes) to record just 13 outs, but he also forced 16 swinging strikes. Despite the overall inefficiency, his eight strikeouts and near 100-pitch season debut are a good sign for the 30-year-old righty. Burnes' next start is projected to be in Washington this weekend.

Webb (1-0) picked up the win after giving up one run on five hits and no walks in seven innings Tuesday against Houston. He struck out six.

Webb faced the minimum number of batters through three innings Tuesday, but Jose Altuve took him deep to lead off the fourth frame. It was an otherwise excellent outing on the road by Webb, who tossed 100 pitches and induced three double plays to keep Houston's bats in check. On tap for the star right-hander is a matchup at home against the Reds, which tentatively lines up for early next week.

Senga (0-1) allowed four runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out eight and taking a loss against Miami.

Senga coughed up a two-run shot to Kyle Stowers in the first inning and a two-run double to Graham Pauley in the fourth after Francisco Lindor started the frame with an error. Senga generated 16 whiffs on 77 pitches (49 strikes), including eight with his infamous "ghost fork." He's registered a 2.99 career ERA over 171.2 MLB frames but was limited to just one start in 2024 due to multiple injuries. Senga's next start is lined up to be a rematch at home against the Marlins.

Lorenzen (0-1) took the loss after allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Brewers. He struck out seven.

It was a mixed bag for Lorenzen, who did fan seven but also served up a solo homer to Eric Haase in the third inning. The right-hander worked into the sixth frame but watched Rhys Hoskins drive in a run on a single before he was lifted for Sam Long, who allowed one of Lorenzen's inherited runners to score. The veteran righty is next slated to take the mound early next week at home against Minnesota.

Alcantara (1-0) allowed two runs on three hits over five innings Tuesday, striking out four and earning a win over the Mets.

Alcantara coughed up a solo shot to Brandon Nimmo in the second inning and an RBI single to Francisco Lindor in the third. Alcantara tossed 91 pitches against the Pirates on Opening Day but was limited to just 70 pitches (43 strikes) Tuesday against the Mets. Through two starts, he's produced a 3.72 ERA with an 11:4 K:BB over 9.2 innings. Alcantara's next start is projected to be a rematch with the Mets in New York next week.

Patrick didn't factor into the decision after throwing 4.2 scoreless innings on three hits and three walks Tuesday against the Royals. He struck out five.

The right-hander was one out away from qualifying for a potential win in the fifth inning, but he was pulled after intentionally walking Bobby Witt to set up southpaw Jared Koenig to face the lefty-hitting Michael Massey. The Brewers have several members of the starting rotation on the injured list for the time being, which should keep Patrick in the rotation perhaps for a few more turns. Patrick is tentatively listed as Milwaukee's probable pitcher for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Spiers (0-1) allowed a run on three hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out five and taking a loss against Texas.

Spiers delivered a quality start in his season debut, but the Reds were victims of a complete game shutout by Nathan Eovaldi. The only damage against Spiers was a solo shot from Wyatt Langford in the first inning. Spiers generated 11 whiffs on 85 total pitches (48 strikes). The 27-year-old righty is currently in line for a start in Milwaukee this weekend.

Eovaldi (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out eight in a complete game shutout win over the Reds on Tuesday.

Eovaldi was remarkably efficient Tuesday, firing 70 of 99 pitches for strikes en route to the first Maddux of the 2025 MLB season. He retired the first 12 batters he faced and did not allow an extra-base hit. Eovaldi generated 18 whiffs, including 10 against his splitter. The veteran righty has been terrific so far, posting a 17:0 K:BB with a 1.20 ERA across 15 frames. Eovaldi will look to keep the momentum going in his next start, which is lined up to be next week against the Cubs in Chicago.
