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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

McDaniels (biceps) has been throwing to hitters at the Angels' complex in Arizona, per MLB.com.

McDaniels landed on the 15-day IL in early May due to left biceps tendinitis. The southpaw will likely need a minor-league rehab stint before he's ready to be activated. McDaniels could be back in the big-league bullpen sometime in June.

Cousins (forearm/pectoral) threw a side session of approximately 30 pitches Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Cousins was temporarily shut down from throwing in mid-May due to a pectoral injury, but the righty reliever has since been able to return to his throwing progression. He's been on the injured list all season due to a right forearm strain, and he's expected to be ready to join the Yankees bullpen sometime in June if he doesn't have any additional setbacks.

Weaver picked up the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over Colorado, allowing one run on three hits with no strikeouts over one inning.

The Yankees had a two-run lead entering the bottom of the ninth, but Weaver nearly didn't make it out of the frame with the save. He allowed a solo homer to Mickey Moniak to begin the inning and had runners on first and second with one out before retiring Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman to end the game. Weaver hadn't allowed an earned run in his previous eight appearances, and he's now converted seven of his eight save chances.
