"First of all, I want to start. That's the main thing. But it's hard to really show yourself with the first unit. I don't mind it.

You got to be in the right spot and everything. But it's an honor to be in the first unit."

"(The roster) is always fluid because of eligibility, injuries, et cetera. So I don't think it's fair to ever say, always, you know, we are absolutely done or we're not done, I think, because there's too many factors that can happen."

Yoshinobu Yamamoto didn't get out of the first inning on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers, recording only two outs and giving up five runs (three earned) in a challenging start.
