Chased in first inning Peters (3-2) allowed five runs in four hits and a walk while taking a loss against the Cubs on Monday. He recorded two outs.

Impact Peters gave up two runs and loaded the bases before he was relieved in favor of Bryse Wilson. He would get charged with three more runs as all of the runners he left on base came around to score during the Cubs' eight-run first inning. Peters saw his season ERA jump from 1.83 to 3.98 through 20.1 frames.

Gets starting nod Monday Peters is listed as the Pirates' starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Peters is presumably serving as an opener or tandem starter in front of Bryse Wilson, who should step in for the lefty in the middle innings. Over his 10 appearances (three starts) this season, Peters hasn't recorded more than 10 outs, so the Pirates will likely pull him well before the Chicago lineup turns over a third time.

Three shutout innings Peters allowed two hits and struck out two across three scoreless innings Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Peters served as the opener and rebounded from the four-run drubbing he received in his last outing. He served as an opener for the third time this season, and he's turned in 8.1 scoreless innings in the role. Peters has a strong 1.83 ERA across 19.2 frames to begin the campaign, though his 15:9 K:BB provides a less optimistic outlook for his future results.

Will work as opener Wednesday Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Peters will serve as an opener in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pittsburgh is likely to treat the series finale with the Dodgers as a bullpen day, with Peters being the first pitcher used in his third outing of the season as an opener. He faltered during his most recent relief appearance Sunday against the Reds, serving up four runs while failing to record an out. However, he turned in his best outing of the season the last time he was deployed as an opener May 4, when he struck out four over 3.1 scoreless innings against Detroit.

Impact Peters served as the opener, with Bryse Wilson working behind him in a piggyback appearance. This was the second time that Peters has preceded Wilson in this role, the first coming in a two-inning stint on April 27. The appearance continued Peters' strong start to the season, as he has yet to allow an earned run across 16.2 frames while striking out 13 and walking six.

Opening again Peters will start the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers, though he'll likely be merely an opener, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Bryse Wilson was scheduled to start Tuesday before the game got postponed, so he's expected to follow Peters on Wednesday. Peters has yet to give up a run in 13.1 innings so far this season.

Excels as opener Peters allowed one walk and did not record a strikeout across two innings Wednesday against the Brewers. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Peters has begun the 2022 season in a bulk-relief role for Pittsburgh, regularly working at least two innings in his appearances. However, he drew the start Wednesday, with Bryse Wilson following him. Peters has yet to allow an earned run across 12.1 innings this season, though he has only an 8:5 K:BB. It's possible that the team looks to build him up to a traditional rotation role, but it appears more likely that his appearance to begin the game Wednesday was an effort to get Wilson on track.

Starting Wednesday Peters is starting Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bryse Wilson was initially slated to take the mound for Pittsburgh on Wednesday, but the 24-year-old was scratched from the start for an unspecified reason. Peters' first five appearances of the season came as a reliever, and he struck out eight in 10.1 scoreless innings while picking up three wins. The southpaw threw 2.2 innings during Sunday's win over the Cubs, so he's unlikely to be able to handle a full workload Wednesday.

Three shutout innings Peters allowed one walk while striking out three without surrendering a hit or a run across three innings Monday against Milwaukee.

Impact Peters entered the game in the fifth inning, after Zach Thompson was roughed up for six earned runs. He delivered three strong innings as a bulk reliever out of the bullpen and now has seven scoreless frames of work across his three appearances on the season. Peters served as a starter for Pittsburgh in 2021, and it's possible he returns to that role at some point in the new campaign.

Picks up relief win Peters (2-0) earned the win in relief Saturday against the Nationals after tossing two scoreless innings, walking two.

Impact Peters has made two relief appearances this season and has come out with the win while hurling two frames in each one. His command wasn't sharp in this one, though, as he tossed only 10 of his 23 pitches for strikes, and in fact, he has posted a 2:3 K:BB so far this season -- albeit in a very limited sample size of four innings.

Set to pitch Sunday Peters (back) is scheduled to start Sunday's spring game against the Blue Jays, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Peters ended 2021 on the injured list with a strained lower back, but he's ready to go early in spring training for Pittsburgh. The 29-year-old was acquired by the Pirates at the trade deadline last year and pitched well in six starts with a 3.71 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across 26.2 frames. He's a strong bet to begin 2022 in the starting rotation.
