RHP
0-0, 3.00 ERA, 4 SO
The Mets’ final signing of a busy winter was Walker, who will play an outsized role in the wake of Carlos Carrasco’s injury. Now three years removed from Tommy John surgery, Walker is healthy enough to give the Mets significant innings.

Kelly gave up three runs, but lasted just four innings in his first start. That's because the Padres worked a lot of deep counts against him. Afterwards he lamented a 23-pitch second and 28-pitch third inning and vowed to be more aggressive.
RHP
1-0, 1.54 ERA, 12 SO
Gray added the effective use of a changeup to his fastball-slider mix, and he struck out seven Dodgers while allowing one run in five innings on Saturday, before leaving in the sixth with full-body cramps. He'll be ready to go against Arizona.

Gonzales will look to overcome a shaky Opening Day start in which he gave up a career-high-tying three runs and three walks, after walking just seven all of last year. This will be his first start against the Twins since May 2019, when he gave up six runs in five innings.
RHP
2-0, 1.54 ERA, 20 SO
Berríos didn't get a third consecutive Opening Day nod, but he'll start Minnesota's home opener after he held the Brewers hitless over six innings and matched a career-high with 12 strikeouts on April 3. He has a career 4.02 ERA against Seattle.

Keller will look to rebound after a shaky start on Opening Day, when he allowed six earned runs on nine hits in 1 1/3 innings against the Rangers. It was the shortest Opening Day start in franchise history.
RHP
1-0, 0.00 ERA, 17 SO
The home opener start goes to Lynn, who makes his second trip to the mound for the White Sox. Lynn threw 99 pitches over 4 2/3 innings against the Angels Saturday, striking out six and walking two with no earned runs.

RHP
0-1, 0.73 ERA, 20 SO
What does Burnes have in store for an encore? His season debut was a pitching duel for the ages with Minnesota's Jose Berrios, as both righties took perfect games into the fifth inning and no-hitters into the seventh.
RHP
0-1, 8.22 ERA, 7 SO
Wainwright will be starting his sixth home opener -- but none may be more impactful than this one. It'll be the first game with fans at Busch Stadium in over a year, on top of the fact that the 39-year-old's future is unclear after his one-year deal expires.

0-1, 7.56 ERA, 10 SO
Stripling allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks over 3 1/3 innings on Saturday as he searched for his swing-and-miss curveball. With Robbie Ray returning soon from injury, the versatile Stripling is competing to keep his spot in the rotation.
