  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Cruises to win Monday

    Yarbrough (2-0) allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win Monday over the Angels.

    Yarbrough's sixth pitch of the game was taken 440 feet out to center field by Zach Neto. That would be Yarbrough's only blemish in an otherwise stellar start, his longest outing of 2025. He's now at a 3.06 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 35.1 innings over 12 appearances (four starts) this season. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Dodgers this weekend, though the Yankees skipped his turn the last time the schedule allowed them to get by with a four-man rotation, so it's not set in stone that he'll get a chance to face his former team.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Saves sixth game

    Vest picked up the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Giants, surrendering one hit and striking out one.

    In what has been a closer-by-committee of sorts in Detroit to start the season, it was Vest who was asked to get the final three outs against the Giants on Monday, earning his sixth save of the season. That pulls him even in saves on the Tigers with fellow high-leverage arm Tommy Kahnle. The 29-year-old Vest has now recorded six straight scoreless outings, allowing just three hits with five strikeouts over six innings during the streak.

  • Jeff Hoffman RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jeff Hoffman: Secures 11th save Monday

    Hoffman secured the save in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers after throwing a scoreless ninth inning with no strikeouts.

    It was the 11th save of the season for Hoffman, who's looking to overcome what's been a dreadful month of May to this point. Over his last eight innings, the hard-throwing right-hander owns a 14.63 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB while converting just five of his eight save chances. The Blue Jays have continued to demonstrate trust in Hoffman as their closer, and they'll likely have to lean even more heavily on him for ninth-inning work as long as Yimi Garcia (shoulder) is recovering on the injured list.

  • Daniel Lynch SP | KC

    Royals' Daniel Lynch: Set to start Tuesday

    Lynch will start Tuesday's contest versus the Reds in Kansas City, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Lynch will toe the rubber for his second start of the season, after he previously tossed 1.2 scoreless innings in his first start last Wednesday against the Giants. The left-hander could see a slight increase in his workload Tuesday, though he's unlikely to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win.

  • Felix Bautista RP | BAL

    Orioles' Felix Bautista: Collects eighth save

    Bautista secured the save in Monday's 5-2 win against St. Louis, pitching a clean inning with two strikeouts.

    The flamethrowing right-hander required only 10 pitches, seven which were strikes, to convert his 56th career save. Bautista has been less than stellar in May, allowing five runs with an 8:5 K:BB across 7.2 innings. Despite the recent string of subpar performance, he remains cemented as the Baltimore closer with a 3.78 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 19:11 K:BB through 16.2 total innings.

  • Nick Sandlin RP | LAA

    Blue Jays' Nick Sandlin: Tossing bullpen Monday

    Sandlin (lat) will throw a bullpen session Monday at the Blue Jays' facility in Florida, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Sandlin has been on the shelf since April 20 due to a strained right lat. Monday's workout will represent his first time throwing off a mound since sustaining the injury. The 28-year-old will need to advance to facing live hitters before potentially being activated sometime in June.

  • Ryan Burr RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ryan Burr: Pulled from rehab assignment

    Burr experienced renewed soreness in his right shoulder during his rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Buffalo and has returned to Toronto for further evaluation, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Burr was making his sixth rehab appearance as part of his recovery from lingering right shoulder inflammation and appeared close to a return from the 60-day injured list, but the setback will extend his return timeline. Once Burr undergoes further testing in Toronto, the Blue Jays should have a better idea regarding when he might be ready to resume his rehab assignment.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Receives cortisone shot

    Garcia (shoulder) received a cortisone shot Monday and will be shut down from throwing for a few days, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    How Garcia feels in the coming days will determine when he'll resume throwing, and until then, there won't be much information on a timeline for return. He was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement, but he may need more than the minimum amount of time to move past the injury.

  • Collin Snider RP | CHC

    Mariners' Collin Snider: Steady run as setup man

    Snider recorded two outs in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Astros. He allowed one walk and struck out one.

    A steady campaign continues for Snider, who's now registered at least one punchout in each of his last eight appearances. The 29-year-old right-hander has turned in seven scoreless outings among his last 10 games, during which he owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB covering 10.2 innings. Snider has four holds to zero save opportunities this season, so he's set to continue serving as a setup man for lights-out closer Andres Munoz in the future.

  • Levi Wells RP | BAL

    Orioles' Levi Wells: Returns to action Saturday

    Wells (abdomen) struck out six and allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks in his start Saturday for Double-A Chesapeake.

    In his previous outing May 17, Wells was lifted after just one inning due to left abdominal discomfort, but the issue wasn't significant enough for him to miss a turn through the Chesapeake rotation. After turning in a 6.71 ERA over 21 starts with High-A Aberdeen in 2024, Wells has enjoyed better results at Chesapeake despite the jump in competition. Over 31.1 innings in the Eastern League, Wells owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB.
