Burrows (1-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Burrows had to contend with traffic Wednesday, though he managed to hold Boston to a pair of runs en route to his first win with the Astros. It was a nice rebound effort overall from Burrows, after he gave up five runs on nine hits in his first start against the Angels. The right-hander is currently slated to face the Rockies at Coors Field his next time out.

Rasmussen allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk across five innings Wednesday against the Brewers. He struck out eight.

Rasmussen matched his 2025 season high with eight strikeouts Wednesday. The right-hander has been sharp in two starts to open the 2026 campaign, allowing just two earned runs on six hits across 10 innings. Rasmussen will look to keep it going in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come next week at home against the Cubs.

Kikuchi (0-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

Although Kikuchi managed to keep the ball in the yard, the four free passes he piled up came back to haunt him a bit. Two of which came in the third inning, when the Cubs strung together five hits and tagged the left-hander for each of his five runs allowed. Kikuchi's next start is scheduled for next week at home against Atlanta, and he'll be aiming to get back on track after yielding seven runs across his first 9.2 innings of 2026.

Misiorowski (1-0) did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out seven.

It was another strong effort from Misiorowski, with the lone damage coming on Yandy Diaz's two-run homer in the third inning. Through two starts, Misiorowski has allowed three runs on six hits and five walks while punching out 18 over 11 innings. He's currently slated to face the Red Sox on the road his next time out.

Boyd (1-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Angels, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out 10.

Boyd was dialed in for his second start after coughing up six runs in a rough season debut, turning in his ninth career game with at least 10 strikeouts. The left-hander threw 64 of his 98 pitches for strikes Wednesday, and he also registered a staggering 20 whiffs on the afternoon. Boyd will be looking to carry this momentum into his next start, which is slated for next week at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field versus the Rays.

Abbott (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings as the Reds fell 8-3 to the Pirates. He struck out five.

The big blow off Abbott was a three-run homer by Oneil Cruz in the first inning, and while the southpaw settled down from there, that was too much of a cushion to give Paul Skenes. Abbott tossed 55 of 88 pitches for strikes, and through his first two starts of the year he's managed a 3.09 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB in 11.2 innings. He'll look for his first win of 2026 in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next week in Miami.

Rogers (2-0) picked up the win Wednesday. allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings in an 8-3 victory over the Rangers. He struck out three.

Baltimore's offense jumped on Nathan Eovaldi early, and Rogers already had a 4-0 lead before Texas got to the southpaw for a couple runs in the fourth inning. Rogers has delivered back-to-back quality starts to begin the season, posting a 1.38 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB through 13 innings. He'll look to extend his win streak in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the White Sox.

Eovaldi (0-2) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering six runs on eight hits and three walks over four-plus innings as the Rangers fell 8-3 to the Orioles. He struck out five.

The right-hander dealt with runners in scoring position in each of the first three innings, but after he seemed to settle down with a 1-2-3 fourth, Samuel Basallo led off the fifth with a solo shot. Eovaldi's had a rough start to 2026, getting tagged for 11 runs in 8.2 innings despite a 12:3 K:BB, and he's having trouble keeping the ball in the yard. After serving up just 10 homers in 22 starts as part of his career year in 2025, Eovaldi has already coughed up three homers in two starts to kick off the current campaign. He'll look to regain his focus in his next outing, which is set to come at home early next week against the Mariners.

Sale (2-0) allowed one run on one hit over six innings Wednesday to record the win as Atlanta downed the A's 5-1. He struck out three without walking a batter.

Shea Langeliers' solo shot in the fourth inning ended up being the only runner to reach base against Sale over 79 pitches (57 strikes). The veteran southpaw has been brilliant to begin the season, delivering two straight quality starts with a 0.75 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB in 12 innings. Sale will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the Angels.

Severino (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up four runs on four hits and five walks over 3.1 innings as the A's fell 5-1 to Atlanta. He struck out seven.

The right-hander managed only 49 strikes among his 91 pitches, but Severino salvaged some value for his fantasy GMs with the strikeouts. Through his first 8.1 innings to begin the year, Severino has a 6.48 ERA and 10:8 K:BB, a worrisome start for a pitcher who posted a BB/9 below 3.0 in each of the last two seasons. He'll try to tighten up his control in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in his old stomping grounds at Yankee Stadium.
