Struggles in first startWright (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Rays after surrendering five runs on four hits and three walks over 2.2 innings. He had three strikeouts.
ImpactThe 24-year-old didn't give up any extra-base hits, but he had a difficult time keeping Tampa Bay off the basepaths before his early exit. Wright will look for a rebound performance at home against the Mets on Sunday.

Three hits in Tuesday's startPlawecki went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.
ImpactGetting the start behind the plate against his former club, Plawecki took full advantage of the opportunity. Christian Vazquez is locked in as Boston's starting catcher, but Plawecki seems well ahead of Jonathan Lucroy on the depth chart and could see a couple starts a week this season as Vazquez's primary backup.

Raps out three hitsPillar went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.
ImpactGetting the start in right field and hitting fifth with rookie southpaw David Peterson on the mound for New York, Pillar was one of the few Boston hitters to have any real success. The veteran outfielder is now 7-for-12 to begin the season with four of his hits (three doubles and a homer) going for extra bases, but despite the hot start his playing time will likely depend on how often Boston continues to face left-handed pitching.

Nabs win in MLB debutPeterson (1-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 8-3 victory over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.
ImpactThe 24-year-old southpaw looked like a veteran on the mound in his big-league debut, working out of trouble in the third inning by fanning J.D. Martinez and mostly cruising from there. Peterson figures to hold down a rotation spot at least until Marcus Stroman (calf) gets healthy, but if he continues to perform at a reasonably high level he could stick around beyond that.
