A look at what's happening all around the major leagues today:

DEBUT TIME: Johnny Cueto, obtained from Cincinnati, makes his Kansas City Royals' debut when he starts at Toronto. Cueto, 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA for the Reds, is 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA in two starts against the Blue Jays.

PUSHED BACK: Clayton Kershaw (8-6), pushed back two days because of hip soreness, starts the Freeway Series opener for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the visiting Angels.

SMALL NUMBER: The New York Mets' Matt Harvey (9-7) brings a 1.34 ERA over seven starts against visiting Washington into the series opener. Bryce Harper is 0 for 14 against him.
