Already busy in new seasonPetit allowed an earned run on a solo home run and gave up an additional hit over 1.2 innings in a loss to the Astros on Sunday. He did not record any walks or strikeouts.

ImpactPetit quickly logged a pair of appearances in the season-opening four-game set against the Astros, a pace that's customary for the veteran workhorse. Petit made a combined 154 appearances from 2018-19 before recording 26 in the abbreviated 2020 season, and he appears on track to once again be a high-volume source of holds in 2021 after tallying 52 over the last three campaigns.

Scores both runs SundayCanha went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and two runs in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.

ImpactCanha led off in each installment of the season-opening four-game set versus the Astros, hitting safely in three of those games and reaching safely in all of them. The veteran doesn't have the speed of a traditional leadoff hitter, but he more than makes up for it with a solid power stroke and a discerning eye at the plate that's led to double-digit walk rates each of the last two seasons.
