Imanaga (1-0) tossed seven innings in a win against Arizona on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out four batters.

Imanaga fell behind when he gave up a run in the second inning, but that was the only time the Diamondbacks managed to cross the plate while he was in the game. The southpaw threw 91 pitches -- 63 of which were strikes -- and induced 14 whiffs in his first victory of the campaign. Imanaga has surrendered just one run over 11 frames despite posting a mediocre 6:6 K:BB across his first two starts of the year.

Fedde (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-1 victory over Minnesota, allowing one run on two hits over six innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.

While Fedde wasn't dominant, the right-hander generated plenty of weak contact en route to a quality start in his 2025 debut. He tossed an efficient 73 pitches (47 strikes) before exiting, picking up where he left off after a successful return from the KBO in 2024. Fedde is scheduled to make his next start on the road next weekend in Boston.

Ryan came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals, allowing one run on five hits over five innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

The right-hander fired 55 of 81 pitches for strikes before exiting with the game tied 1-1, but the Twins' bullpen quickly fell apart afterward. Injuries limited Ryan to 135 innings over 23 starts in 2024, so staying healthy will be his top priority this year. The 28-year-old should be effective when he is on the mound though -- over three seasons as a regular member of Minnesota's rotation, Ryan sports a 3.92 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 10.04 K/9. He lines up to make his next start at home next week against the Astros.

Mahle didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox. He allowed one run on two hits and four walks while striking out three over 1.2 innings.

Mahle walked four of the 11 batters he faced Saturday and was taken out of the game after giving up a bases-loaded walk to Rafael Devers in the second inning. Only 30 of Mahle's 61 pitches found the strike zone, and the Rangers were forced to turn to the bullpen for the final 7.1 frames of the game. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing and is lined up to face the Rays at home next week.

Cannon came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Angels, giving up four hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out five.

The 24-year-old righty engaged in a pitchers' duel with Jose Soriano in each hurler's 2025 debut, but Cannon was lifted after 85 pitches (53 strikes) and had to watch Mike Clevinger give up the game's only run in the eighth inning. Cannon held his own as a rookie last year, but his fantasy ceiling is limited given his inability to miss bats consistently and his team context. He lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend in Detroit.

Buehler (0-1) came away with the loss against the Rangers on Saturday. He allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

Buehler's Red Sox debut got off to a rough start when he gave up two runs in the first inning. He steadied himself over the next two frames before giving up a solo home run to Adolis Garcia in the fourth inning and allowing a final run in the fifth. Buehler left the mound having thrown 48 of 80 pitches for strikes and induced just two ground outs. He's tentatively slated to face the Cardinals at home next week.

Soriano (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 1-0 victory over the White Sox, scattering two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Chicago never got a runner past first base against the right-hander. Soriano fired 46 of 73 pitches for strikes before handing things off to the Angels' bullpen in a successful 2025 debut, and after tossing 113 innings over 22 appearances (20 starts) last year, the 26-year-old should be ready to handle a bigger workload this season. Soriano's next trip to the mound is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Guardians.

Fried didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 20-9 win over the Brewers, giving up six runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

While the left-hander got more than enough offense to record a win in his Yankees debut, the New York defense committed five errors on the day, resulting in an elevated pitch count for Fried -- he exited after 94 pitches (56 strikes). Fried failed to last five innings in either of his first two outings of 2024, so slow starts to a season are nothing new for the 31-year-old. He'll try to provide a little more length in his next start, which is scheduled to come next weekend in Pittsburgh.

Falter did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Marlins, allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Falter started strong with four scoreless innings but exited in a 2-2 tie after giving up runs in the fifth and sixth frames. The 27-year-old was efficient, throwing 56 strikes on 87 pitches and generating nine whiffs. He's slated for a tough matchup with the Yankees next weekend.

Verlander did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Reds, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk with five strikeouts over five innings.

Verlander induced 10 swinging strikes on 83 pitches before departing in a 2-2 tie. The 42-year-old looked healthy after an encouraging spring, during which he posted a 3.43 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 21 innings. He lines up to make his Giants home debut next weekend against the Mariners.
