McHugh (0-1) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits while striking out one across one inning in Sunday's loss against the Yankees.

McHugh came into the game in the 10th inning and recorded two outs rather quickly, but the wheels came off thereafter. He gave up three straight hits that resulted in four runs before he was able to close things out. He did toss 16 of his 24 pitches for strikes, but that's where the positives end for the veteran right-hander, who has now allowed three earned runs in two of his three relief appearances this season.

Chapman (1-0) struck out the side and allowed one hit during his lone inning of work Sunday against the Rays, earning his first win of the season.

Chapman pitched the ninth with the game tied 4-4, and he was absolutely filthy -- despite allowing a two-out double to Mike Zunino, Chapman struck out the side and threw 10 of his 13 pitches for strikes. Chapman has yet to record a save this season, but he has pitched three straight scoreless outings while fanning nine across three innings of work.

Crochet (0-1) allowed an unearned run and a walk with one strikeout in one inning, taking the loss in Sunday's extra-inning defeat against the Royals.

Crochet will take the blame for the loss, as his throwing error allowed Michael Taylor to score the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning. The 21-year-old Crochet has yet to allow an earned run in 4.1 innings this season. He's posted a 0.69 WHIP, six strikeouts and a hold in three outings. The southpaw can be expected to feature in high-leverage roles as one of the setup relievers to closer Liam Hendriks.

Hendriks allowed a run on two hits and struck out two in one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's extra-inning loss versus the Royals.

Hendriks gave up a game-tying solo shot to Carlos Santana in the ninth inning. It was the second homer allowed in 3.1 innings for Hendriks, who yielded only a single long ball in 25.1 innings last season. He's off to a rough start as the White Sox's closer, allowing three earned runs on four hits and a walk with five strikeouts in three outings. He is 1-for-2 in save chances so far.

Colome (0-1) allowed three runs on four hits in one-third of an inning, taking the loss and a blown save Sunday versus the Mariners.

Colome was in trouble from the get-go, allowing singles to Mitch Haniger and Ty France. Kyle Seager then swatted a go-ahead, three-run home run, which was enough to stick Colome with the loss. The right-hander is now 2-for-4 in save chances, with a 6.75 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 5.1 innings. Taylor Rogers didn't appear in Sunday's game, but he remains in the mix for ninth-inning action should Colome's struggles continue.

Montero pitched a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Twins.

Montero retired Nelson Cruz, Byron Buxton and Max Kepler on flyouts, needing just nine pitches to lock down the save. It was an impressive bounce-back for Montero, who suffered a blown save Saturday. The Mariners' closer is now 2-for-4 in save chances with a 3.38 ERA and 0.56 WHIP across 5.1 innings this season.

Honeywell was optioned to the Rays' alternate training site Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Honeywell was called up to make his major-league debut as the opener in Sunday's game against the Yankees, and he struck out two in two clean innings. The right-hander could be an option to step in as an opener or as a starter later in the year.

Graveman, who recorded his first win of the season Saturday against the Twins, has allowed just one hit and has yet to be scored upon over the four innings covering his first three appearances.

The starter-turned-reliever has been a force in the later innings out of the bullpen, and Saturday, he qualified for the decision after he fired a quick seven-pitch perfect ninth inning and then saw Mitch Haniger put the Mariners ahead for good with a 10th-inning sacrifice fly. The veteran's velocity has impressively ticked up in recent seasons, and with new closer Rafael Montero already blowing two of his first three save chances, there may eventually be an opportunity for Graveman to see some ninth-inning work.

Valdez allowed one run on two hits in one inning, taking a blown save in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Valdez allowed a pair of one-out singles before Bobby Dalbec hit into a fielder's choice that brought home the game-tying run. That was the first earned run again Valdez this season. He is now 2-for-3 in save chances with a 1.69 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and five strikeouts across 5.1 innings. The 36-year-old right-hander has been solid to start 2021 and should continue to see closing opportunities despite Saturday's misstep.

Wilson completed one scoreless and hitless inning against the Rays on Saturday, allowing one walk while striking out two.

Wilson missed the start of the campaign due to a shoulder issue and was activated from the injured list Friday. His control was shaky in his season debut -- Wilson threw only 12 of 24 pitches for strikes, allowing one walk and hitting a batter -- but he navigated around the baserunners to emerge unscathed. The southpaw should play an important role in the Yankees' bullpen after securing 10 holds and posting a 3.66 ERA over 23 appearances with the Mets last season.
