Brad Keller - Strong showing in season debut Keller didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Guardians, scattering two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Impact Cleveland didn't get a runner past first base against the right-hander, but Kansas City batters weren't having any more luck against Zach Plesac, resulting in a no-decision for Keller. He tossed 46 of 69 pitches for strikes, and he'll look for a little more support in his next scheduled start Thursday, at home against the Tigers.

Scott Barlow - Earns win Opening Day Barlow allowed zero runs on two hits across 2.0 innings and earned the victory Thursday against the Guardians. He struck out three and didn't walk a batter.

Impact Barlow notched a 2.42 ERA with 14 holds and six saves across 74.1 innings last season and picked up right where he left off to start the 2022 campaign. The 29-year-old figures to be one of Kansas City's top options for high-leverage situations.

Zack Greinke - Strong outing Opening Day Greinke allowed one run on five hits across 5.2 innings but did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Guardians. He walked one and struck out one.

Impact Greinke signed a one-year, $13 million deal with Kansas City this offseason, returning to the team that drafted him in 2002. The veteran was solid in his first appearance of the season, but fantasy managers likely need more strikeout production from a player of Greinke's caliber. While plenty of pitchers around the league will be limited during the first weekend of the 2022 campaign, it appears like Greinke is stretched out and 100 percent to start the year, as he threw 84 pitches (56 strikes).
