Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Turns in quality start
Greene surrendered one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out six batters in six innings during Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mets. He didn't factor into the decision.
Greene was able to extend the Mets' struggles at the plate, with a sacrifice fly from Francisco Lindor representing the only damage on the 24-year-old's line. However, he had to settle for a quality start after receiving little support from his offense. Greene is lined up to start again at home versus the Brewers next week.

Jose Quintana SP | COL
Mets' Jose Quintana: Fans four in no-decision
Quintana gave up one earned run on five hits and four walks while striking out four batters through 5.2 innings during Friday's 3-2 win over the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.
The Reds were able to put runners on base consistently against Quintana, but aside from a first-inning solo home run by Spencer Steer, the left-hander was able to keep them from crossing home plate. However, New York wasn't able to take the lead until after Quintana left the game, so Friday's win was awarded to Drew Smith. The 35-year-old Quintana owns a 2.61 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through his first two starts and is tentatively scheduled to make his next appearance in Atlanta next week.

Freddy Peralta SP | TB
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Falls apart late
Peralta yielded three runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings and did not factor in the decision Friday. He struck out seven during a win over Seattle.
Peralta looked terrific through five shutout frames, allowing just three Mariners to reach base during that stretch. He was then tagged with three runs in the sixth inning and wasn't able to record a quality start. The 27-year-old forced seven whiffs with his slider and 13 total. Peralta has a 3.09 ERA with an impressive 15:2 K:BB through 11.2 frames. He's currently lined up to start in Cincinnati next week.

Oliver Dunn SS | TB
Brewers' Oliver Dunn: Steals bag, goes deep
Dunn went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Mariners.
Dunn launched his first career home run in the fourth inning and then recorded his first MLB steal in the eighth. The 26-year-old was 3-for-12 with a 1:5 BB:K through his first four MLB appearances before Friday's breakout. He'll need to continue swinging the bat well to maintain playing time with the Brewers.

Abner Uribe RP | MIL
Brewers' Abner Uribe: Blows save, earns win
Uribe (1-0) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk in one inning Friday. He blew a save chance but picked up a win over Seattle.
Uribe blew the 5-3 lead in the ninth inning, but the Brewers walked it off win in the bottom of the frame. The 23-year-old had converted each of his first three save attempts to begin the year before Friday's hiccup. He owns a 6.75 ERA with a 2:2 K:BB through four innings.

Matt Olson 1B | ATL
Braves' Matt Olson: Goes deep in win
Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Diamondbacks.
Olson slammed a monstrous 424-foot home run off Arizona left-hander Tommy Henry for his second of the season. The Atlanta first baseman later added a double off Kevin Ginkel and scored the game-tying run in the ninth inning. Olson appears to be headed for another solid season hitting in the heart of an uber-potent Atlanta lineup, as he's opened with a .269/.321/.654 slash line in his first 27 plate appearances.

Kevin Ginkel RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Blows save against Atlanta
Ginkel blew the save Friday against Atlanta. He allowed two runs (one unearned) on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 1.1 innings.
After collecting the final out in the eighth inning, Ginkel watched Austin Riley reach via a Blaze Alexander fielding error to begin the ninth, and the right-hander never recovered as Matt Olson and Jarred Kelenic hit doubles to tie up the game. This is Ginkel's second straight outing allowing a run, but he should continue to be the main saves option in the Arizona bullpen while Paul Sewald (oblique) is injured.

Tommy Henry SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Punches out five in no-decision
Henry did not factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Henry looked much sharper against Atlanta after struggling in his season debut against Colorado. He faced no easy task -- having to duel Spencer Strider -- and managed to tally more whiffs than the Atlanta righty (14 vs. 12). Henry is tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Rockies on the road in his next start.

Spencer Strider SP | ATL
Braves' Spencer Strider: Dealing with elbow discomfort
Strider reported discomfort in his right elbow after his start Friday against Arizona, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Strider surrendered five earned runs on seven hits and three walks across four innings while striking out four, and his elbow may have played a part in his poor performance. He's slated to receive an MRI on Saturday, which will provide a better idea of how much time -- if any -- the right-hander will miss.

Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI
Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Collects two RBI
Schwarber went 1-for-3 with two walks and two RBI in Friday's win over the Nationals.
Schwarber tallied the Phillies' second and third runs of the game when he smoked a 103.0 mph single off lefty Patrick Corbin. The 31-year-old designated hitter has been much improved against left-handed pitching to open 2024, going 7-for-16 with a homer, three RBI and two walks.
