Bundy is off to a strong start with his new club with 15 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings. He's been throwing his offspeed pitches more than his fastball and it's been working so far.
RHP

Walker was spectacular in his second start back from a two-year recovery following Tommy John surgery, holding the A's to one hit over seven scoreless innings with eight strikeouts. It was his first MLB win since 2017 while with the D-backs.

Even without his best stuff, Montgomery was effective in his season debut, limiting the Red Sox to a solo homer over 5 2/3 innings to earn his first Major League win since 2018. Montgomery tossed 81 pitches and should increase to about 95.

Five scoreless innings with a fastball touching 99 mph made for a brilliant MLB debut last week. Pearson leaned heavily on his fastball and slider early before pivoting to his offspeed pitches, so keep an eye on the Blue Jays No. 1 prospect's mix against the Braves.
RHP
0-0, 6.08 ERA, 20 SO
Toussaint earned another start when he tossed four scoreless innings against the Mets on Saturday. The right-hander seems to be finding comfort with a slider he added to his arsenal this offseason. Further success could allow him to remain in Mike Foltynewicz's previous rotation spot.
