Graveman threw a scoreless eighth inning while allowing one hit and striking out one Monday against the Angels.

Graveman entered in the eighth inning with a 3-0 lead. After allowing a leadoff single, he made quick work of the next three batters he faced to earn his fifth hold of the season. Graveman has held opposing teams scoreless in nine of his 11 appearances this season, and he also has an impressive 14:4 K:BB across 12.1 innings. Liam Hendriks appears to have rebounded from some early season struggles and a back injury, though Graveman would likely be next in line for save opportunities.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Treinen's recovery from his right shoulder injury is "gonna be a longer process," Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

There was hope immediately after Treinen was placed on the IL that he could be back after a minimum stay, but that possibility has already passed. To this point, there has been no word about Treinen doing any sort of throwing, and Roberts' comment Sunday suggests that he is a way off from a return. If the right-hander's absence continues to linger, there's a good chance he could need a rehab stint before being activated.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Ridings (shoulder) is making progress, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Boone offered no elaboration about Ridings' current level of activity, but it's nonetheless an encouraging update about the 26-year-old's status. Ridings is currently on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement and isn't eligible to return until early June. In five games last season, the right-hander allowed one run while posting a 7:2 K:BB across five innings.

May is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his right arm Tuesday after struggling in his appearance Monday night against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. He gave up two runs on two hits and one walk in one inning.

May has given up two runs in three of his last four outings, and he stated after Monday's game that his right triceps continues to impact his pitching mechanics, per Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News. He'll be considered day-to-day until his imaging results are evaluated by the team medical staff.

Duran struck out one batter in a perfect inning and earned a save over the Orioles on Monday.

Getting the first save chance of his MLB career, Duran needed just 10 pitches to finish off the 2-1 victory against Baltimore. The 6-foot-5 righty has struck out eight batters during his active six-inning scoreless streak. He's lowered his ERA to 3.00 through 12 innings on the year.

Hendriks earned the save Monday after pitching a perfect ninth inning, striking out three in the 3-0 win over the Angels.

Hendriks snagged his first save since April 16 in a dominant fashion, retiring all three batters he faced via the punchout. The right-hander now has five saves on the season in six opportunities and he owns a 4.82 ERA and 1.82 WHIP with 15 strikeouts over 9.1 innings. After pitching back-to-back days without giving up so much as a hit, it appears Hendriks may be behind the back injury that shelved him for several days.

Gallegos pitched a scoreless ninth inning on his way to a save in Monday's 1-0 win over the Royals. He allowed one hit and recorded two strikeouts.

After blowing his last save chance April 25 against the Mets, Gallegos made relatively quick work of the Royals in this one. The 30-year-old worked around a two-out single by Carlos Santana, striking out Hunter Dozier to end the contest. He threw 13 of his 18 pitches for strikes and recorded multiple strikeouts for the first time in four appearances. The save was his fifth of the season in six opportunities, and his ERA and WHIP now stand at 5.63 and 1.38, respectively, over eight innings.

Bachman missed the first month of the minor-league campaign due to back spasms but is slated to kick off his season with Double-A Rocket City, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

After being taken by the Angels with the ninth pick in the 2021 first-year player draft, Bachman pitched at the High-A level last season, posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 14.1 innings over five starts. He's been sidelined due to back spams for nearly a month, though his placement on the injured list was described as precautionary. It's unclear when his first outing with Rocket City will take place, but the decision to send him to the Double-A club suggests that his activation is imminent.

Saucedo (hip) isn't expected to resume baseball activities for the next week or two, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Saucedo landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after he was removed from his relief appearance against the Astros a day earlier with right hip discomfort. Since he's not going to be able to resume baseball activities this week, Saucedo will end up spending more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf.

Pressly (knee) will make a rehab appearance for Triple A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pressly hasn't pitched since April 13 while dealing with right knee inflammation. The Astros didn't specify whether he'd need one or multiple rehab outings, so the answer may depend on how his appearance goes Tuesday. A return during this weekend's four-game series against the Tigers seems possible, though it's also conceivable he doesn't return until next week if he needs to pitch two or three times in the minors.
