LHP
1-1, 6.64 ERA, 26 SO
Paxton reached a new season high with a 94.8 mph fastball in his most recent start, a good sign as he returns from back surgery performed in February. Paxton didn't have his sharpest stuff, but he held the Red Sox to three runs over five innings in an 11-5 win.

Howard is the club's No. 2 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, but his first two starts haven't gone according to plan. He left his last start early because of a blister on his right middle finger, but the Phillies said he's ready to go.
RHP
0-0, 2.79 ERA, 7 SO
Anderson has made two tidy starts since returning from a strained oblique, throwing three innings in each. The Blue Jays will need more length from him on Thursday, though, in the first half of a doubleheader to keep the bullpen fresh

Velasquez entered the season as the team's No. 5 starter, but he might be the No. 6 starter at this point. Still, with multiple doubleheaders on the schedule, Velasquez will get his chances to start.
RHP
0-0, 13.50 ERA, 4 SO
Thornton is scheduled to make his return from right elbow inflammation and has looked good in live BPs, manager Charlie Montoyo said. In his lone start this season, the righty scattered eight hits over four innings, allowing just one run.

Turnbull continues to be the best starter in the Tigers' rotation so far this season, but Cleveland showed the blueprint for beating him by making him work through eight full counts in his last start. Three of his four walks came around to score.
RHP
2-2, 3.89 ERA, 45 SO
Giolito has allowed 15 earned runs over five starts this season, and eight of them have scored in the first inning. He has fanned 32 over 27 2/3 innings, but he also has issued 15 walks.

With a continued uptick in velocity, Kershaw was pretty near vintage against the Angels, blemished only by a solo homer from torrid Anthony Rendon. That was the only hit allowed over seven innings and he induced a dozen ground-ball outs.
LHP
0-2, 6.30 ERA, 21 SO
The 29-year-old missed his last start due to neck spasms, but he’ll look to get back on track in his first opportunity to face the Dodgers. Kikuchi's velocity is up this year, with a fastball at 95 mph, but he's still seeking his first win.

Woodruff's last outing turned on a dime. He pitched a no-hitter through four innings and retired the first man in the fifth before the next six batters reached safely. He'll seek a smoother finish.
RHP
2-3, 4.75 ERA, 33 SO
Berríos is still seeking his command after issuing 10 walks over his last three starts, including a season-high four in Saturday’s start against Kansas City. He has 24 strikeouts in 24 1/3 innings.

The flame-throwing righty will be out to avenge his last start, when the Yankees tagged him for nine hits and eight runs over 5 1/3 innings. Eovaldi pitched well against the Orioles on Opening Night for a win at Fenway Park.

Lamet is developing into a certifiable ace with a fastball that touches 100 mph and a wipeout slider that plays perfectly off it. In all five of his starts this season, Lamet has allowed only one earned run.

Wainwright won the Cardinals' first game back after a 17-day layoff on Saturday, when he tossed five innings and allowed only one run on two hits against the White Sox. It was his 164th career win, passing Bob Forsch for third on the all-time franchise list.

Young is filling in for the injured Madison Bumgarner. In his first start in Bumgarner's place, Young allowed one run over 4 1/3 innings vs. the Padres before being lifted after 63 pitches. He should be able to pitch deeper this time around.
