Zack Godley

LD

0-1, 6.14 PCL, 8 SO

Godley will serve as Boston's opener in his second appearance of 2020. The right-hander, who joined the club on a Minor League deal in mid-July, struck out seven over four innings of scoreless relief against the Mets on July 27.

Masahiro Tanaka

LD

0-0, 3.38 PCL, 3 SO

Tanaka has recovered from a concussion sustained on July 4. The veteran struggled mightily against the Red Sox last year, permitting 22 earned runs in eight innings (24.75 ERA), including a disastrous start during the London Series.

En Truist Park

(6-3)

Michael Wacha

LD

1-1, 6.00 PCL, 9 SO

Pairing a biting changeup with a mid-90s fastball in his first start, Wacha gave the Mets exactly what they hoped when they signed him to an incentive-laden contract over the winter. Next up: Atlanta.

Touki Toussaint

LD

0-0, 8.10 PCL, 11 SO

Toussaint will be making what could be just a spot start to fill the void created when Mike Foltynewicz was designated for assignment on Monday. Toussaint allowed six runs over just 2 2/3 innings after Foltynewicz exited.

final • Sat, Aug 1

En Target Field

(6-2)

Carlos Carrasco

LD

1-1, 3.75 PCL, 15 SO

Carrasco's first start since May 2019 was everything he imagined it to be. Now, he's ready to put the last year of health battles behind him. Last time, he gave up two runs with 10 K's in six frames.

Kenta Maeda

LD

2-0, 1.64 PCL, 12 SO

Maeda made a big first impression in his Twins debut last Sunday, when he struck out six White Sox hitters as he allowed two runs in five innings. He has never faced Cleveland in his career.

En Oriole Park at Camden Yards

(4-3)

Tyler Glasnow

LD

0-0, 3.12 PCL, 14 SO

Glasnow struck out nine batters over four innings in his 2020 debut, showing why he was a trendy preseason pick for the American League Cy Young Award. Glasnow went 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in two starts against Baltimore last season.

1-0, 4.09 PCL, 7 SO

LeBlanc allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings in his Orioles debut, earning the victory Sunday in Boston. The veteran lefty struck out four and didn't walk a batter.

En Chase Field

(3-6)

Julio Urías

LZ

1-0, 2.45 PCL, 8 SO

Finally in the rotation, Urías had to work hard in his first start, allowing eight baserunners with three walks in five innings for a no-decision. Urías needs to command his curveball to be successful.

Luke Weaver

LD

0-2, 14.73 PCL, 11 SO

Weaver lost in his first start of the year last Monday against the Padres at Petco Park. San Diego chased him during a five-run fourth inning. Overall, he allowed six runs on seven hits over 3 1/3 innings.

final • Sat, Aug 1

En Coors Field

(5-2)

Joey Lucchesi

LZ

0-1, 8.44 PCL, 5 SO

In his first start, Lucchesi worked only 3 2/3 frames, and it's possible the Padres continue to limit his workload. He's been strong in his first two trips through an opposing order but has struggled after that.

Kyle Freeland

LZ

2-0, 1.50 PCL, 9 SO

After fanning five in six solid innings against Texas in his first start, Freeland faces a team that has not been easy for him. He's 2-3 with a 4.09 ERA in nine games (seven starts) against the Padres.

En Wrigley Field

(6-2)

Mitch Keller

LD

1-1, 3.52 PCL, 3 SO

Keller pitched well without his best fastball in his season debut. The rookie's breaking pitches sharpened as the game went on and he worked five solid innings. This will be the Iowa native's Wrigley Field debut.

Tyler Chatwood

LD

2-0, 0.71 PCL, 19 SO

Chatwood was sharp on Sunday, limiting the Brewers to one run on three hits with eight strikeouts and two walks. He had a 1.13 ERA in five outings (eight innings) against the Pirates in 2019.

Drew Smyly

LZ

0-0, 3.24 PCL, 11 SO

Smyly gave up one run over 3 1/3 innings against the Dodgers on Sunday. He opened last season with the Rangers, but was cut after posting an 8.42 ERA over 13 appearances.

Mike Fiers

LD

0-0, 5.40 PCL, 3 SO

Fiers' four earned runs against the Angels in his first start of the year on Sunday came off the bat of Mike Trout. He only went four innings, but the A's still came away with the victory.

Yusei Kikuchi

LZ

0-0, 4.66 PCL, 13 SO

Kikuchi was hitting 98 mph with his fastball, but command issues cost him as he lasted just 3 2/3 innings while allowing 5 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks in his 2020 debut in Houston. He was 1-3 with an 11.32 ERA in 5 starts vs. Anaheim last year.

Makeup 8/2

(5-4)

Trevor Bauer

LD

1-0, 0.68 PCL, 20 SO

Bauer threw 105 pitches with 13 K’s over 6 1/3 innings vs. the Tigers on Sunday. He established his fastball early and was conditioned enough to go deeper in the game. Bauer’s velocity was often in the high 90s.

Michael Fulmer

LD

0-2, 8.78 PCL, 20 SO

Expect another opener appearance for Fulmer as the Tigers stretch his pitch count slowly in his second start back from Tommy John surgery. He had a sharp slider early but tired in a two-homer third inning in Monday’s loss to the Royals.
