Fried battled command issues during the early portion of his Opening Day start in Philadelphia, but found a groove near the end of his five-inning effort. The lefty posted the lowest hard-hit rate among qualified MLB pitchers last year.
RHP
0-1, 27.00 ERA, 1 SO
Fedde gets the nod out of the bullpen, as the Nationals' rotation is short two starters. Last season, Fedde went 1-3 with a 4.95 ERA in eight starts in place of an injured Stephen Strasburg.

Kuhl went three innings in his Opening Day start vs. the Cubs. The righty, who is still being built up, issued three walks in the first two innings, but he said he started to warm up and found his control in the third inning.
RHP
1-1, 6.97 ERA, 5 SO
Castillo was hit hard at times during an 11-6 Opening Day loss vs. St. Louis. Over 3 1/3 innings, he did not strike out a batter and used his changeup less than his track record would indicate. His last start vs. the Pirates was a seven-inning, three-hit, 10-strikeout performance during a 1-0 win on Sept. 16, 2020.

Junis threw two combined scoreless innings in relief Saturday and Sunday with three strikeouts. The Royals put Junis in the ‘pen to start the season but gave him a swingman role because he’s built up to go multiple innings.
RHP
0-1, 3.65 ERA, 24 SO
It took Bieber a little while to settle in on Thursday, but the blizzard-like conditions in Detroit didn't make it easy. Bieber still joined elite company by becoming one of just four pitchers to fan 12-plus batters in multiple Opening Day starts.

Yarbrough said he battled his mechanics Friday in Miami, but it didn't show. The master of weak contact allowed only four hits and struck out three, cruising through 5 2/3 innings on 65 pitches. He's 3-0 at Fenway despite a 4.44 ERA in six outings.
RHP
1-1, 1.46 ERA, 11 SO
The hard-throwing righty mixed his pitches well in his Opening Day start, holding the Orioles to four hits and one run over 5 1/3 innings, walking one and striking out four. He took a tough-luck loss on a day the Red Sox didn't score. Against the Rays lifetime, he is 2-5 with a 5.48 ERA in eight starts.

Maeda struggled with his mechanics and couldn't command his slider effectively for much of his Opening Day start against Milwaukee, but he still fanned five and held the Brewers to one earned run over 4 1/3 innings. He struck out 25 Tigers in 18 innings last season.

Boyd actually pitched better against the Twins last year than any of his other opponents in an otherwise miserable season for him, holding the Bomba Squad to three earned runs -- all on home runs -- over 12 innings with no walks, 14 strikeouts and a 1-1 record.

Toronto's undisputed ace began 2021 right, holding the Yankees to just two runs in 5 1/3 innings on Opening Day. Ryu has posted a stellar 2.32 ERA since 2018, but Wednesday will mark his first career matchup against the Rangers.
RHP
1-0, 7.11 ERA, 9 SO
Gibson is looking to bounce back in his second start of the season following an Opening Day stunner where the right-hander allowed five runs on four hits without getting out of the first inning. He's hoping to control the strike zone better than he did against the Royals and limit walks.

Woodruff threw 50 of his 78 pitches on Opening Day for strikes, but he didn't necessarily have his command, a fact he tied to the adrenaline pumping through his system thanks to the 11,740 fans in the stands. He expects to be more in control against the Cubs.
RHP
0-1, 3.00 ERA, 10 SO
Hendricks labored with command on a cold Opening Day at Wrigley Field. The righty went three innings, giving up three runs on four hits with three walks and four K's. He had a 1.08 ERA with 16 K's and no walks in 16 2/3 IP (two starts) vs. Milwaukee in 2020.

Bauer took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his first start with the Dodgers, but a four-run seventh cost him a quality start. Still, Bauer was sharp against the Rockies, striking out 10 over 6 1/3 innings and earning the win.

Luzardo flashed his electric stuff with eight strikeouts in five innings but also surrendered a pair of costly homers in his 2021 debut, finishing with five runs allowed on eight hits. He faced the Dodgers in a relief appearance last season, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks.

Fresh off an excellent rookie season, Peterson won a rotation job this spring. The Mets will need to be careful with his innings over the course of the summer, but given their options at the moment, they’ll lean on Peterson in the early going.
RHP
0-0, 2.53 ERA, 11 SO
Nola cruised through 6 2/3 innings on Opening Day before he made one mistake to Pablo Sandoval, who hit a game-tying, two-run homer. But it was an encouraging start for the Phillies' ace, who hopes to have another Cy Young-quality year.

The righty will get to put all of his revamped weapons to the test of the regular season when he starts the series finale against Chicago. Dunn dialed his fastball up to 96 mph in Spring Training, and he had much sharper breaking pitches. But command, at times, eluded him.

Flaherty will look to build off of a snow flurry-filled modest outing his first time out, when he conceded six runs across 4 1/3 innings to the Reds. After relatively smooth sailing early on, he was bit by long fourth and fifth innings, ending his day at 94 pitches.

López pitched five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and walking two while striking out four in his 2021 debut. He faced the Cards in his first and last Grapefruit League outings. The righty permitted two runs in seven frames in his lone regular-season start vs. St. Louis in '18.

Although Senzatela threw 41 of his 70 pitches for strikes in his first start against the Dodgers on Friday, many of them were up and in the middle. That led to the right-hander giving up seven runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings in a loss.
