Tanner Scott RP | LAD
Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Charged with first blown save
Scott (1-2) allowed three runs on three hits without recording a strikeout or a walk over one inning, taking the loss and a blown save Saturday versus the Phillies.
Scott allowed an RBI single to Bryce Harper and a two-run home run to Edmundo Sosa in the eighth inning, turning a 3-1 lead into a 4-3 deficit that the Dodgers couldn't bounce back from. This outing ended Scott's 12.1-inning scoreless streak, and it left him with his first blown save of the season. It's just the third time he's been scored upon over 26 appearances this year. The left-hander has a 2.19 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB with five saves and five holds over 24.2 innings this year. His usage is unlikely to be disrupted by one bad outing, though Scott may not pitch Sunday since he's been utilized for consecutive games. Alex Vesia is in the same boat, so a potential save chance Sunday could fall to Blake Treinen, who worked a perfect ninth inning in Saturday's contest for his first action since Monday.

Roki Sasaki SP | LAD
Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Steady in no-decision
Sasaki allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Saturday.
Sasaki's lone mistake was a solo shot by Alec Bohm in the second inning. In May, Sasaki made five starts, allowing a total of 11 runs (10 earned) across 28.1 innings, an improvement on his shakier 7.23 ERA in April. The right-hander is at a 4.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 50:19 K:BB through 51 innings over 10 outings this year and is projected to make his next start at home against the Angels.

Angel Chivilli RP | NYY
Yankees' Angel Chivilli: Resumes throwing
Chivilli (shoulder) has resumed throwing off a mound and is slated to throw live batting practice during the coming week, per MLB.com.
Chivilli logged action in only two games with the big-league club before landing on the injured list April 25 due to right shoulder discomfort. He was shut down from throwing for several weeks but has since been able to resume tossing from a mound. Given the length of his absence, Chivilli will likely need a minor-league rehab assignment before he's activated, though it's not clear when that rehab stint will begin.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Lifts sixth homer
Bohm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.
Bohm got the Phillies on the board with his second-inning solo shot. His bat has cooled down after a surge in the middle of May -- he's 10 games removed from his last multi-hit effort, going 6-for-36 (.167) with two homers and three RBI in that span. The third baseman continues to fill a starting role, but he's hitting a tepid .208 with a .602 OPS, six homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases over 54 contests this season.

Edmundo Sosa LF | PHI
Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Swats go-ahead homer
Sosa went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.
Sosa entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but his impact came in the eighth when he hit a go-ahead homer. The utility man has gone just 8-for-47 (.170) in May, though he's supplied two homers and nine RBI. For the season, he's batting .213 with a .601 OPS, three homers, two stolen bases, 16 RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles over 95 plate appearances.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Takes step forward in recovery
Stanton (calf) has begun running outside, per MLB.com.
It's a notable step in Stanton's movement toward a return to action, as he hadn't previously been cleared to run. The slugger underwent imaging earlier this week, and the encouraging results of those tests prompted team doctors to allow Stanton to begin running. It's still not clear when the 36-year-old will be ready to be activated from the injured list though, and he may need a rehab assignment first given that he hasn't played since late April.

Jhoan Duran RP | PHI
Phillies' Jhoan Duran: Converts 12th save
Duran pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers. He didn't record a strikeout.
Duran has seven saves and a loss over his last eight outings, allowing just one run with a 12:2 K:BB in that span. The Phillies' closer has converted all 12 of his save chances this season and has benefited from the team's improved play under interim manager Don Mattingly after Rob Thomsen was fired. For the campaign, Duran has a 1.53 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB across 17.2 innings.

Jesus Luzardo SP | PHI
Phillies' Jesus Luzardo: Decent in no-decision
Luzardo allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Saturday.
Luzardo fell short of a fourth straight quality start, but he threw 64 of 95 pitches for strikes in a decent outing. He was on the hook for the loss when he exited, but the Phillies broke through in the eighth inning to bail him out. Luzardo has a 4.30 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 78:19 K:BB through 67 innings through 12 starts this season, though he's allowed just four runs over 23.1 frames in his last four games with a 21:7 K:BB in that span. The southpaw's next start is projected to come at home versus the White Sox.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Posts steal Saturday
Chisholm went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics.
Chisholm helped create the Yankees' first run, with his fourth-inning steal resulting in an error that allowed Cody Bellinger to score. Chisholm has gone 19-for-56 (.339) over his last 15 games, adding seven extra-base hits and three steals. The infielder is still batting just .239 with a .699 OPS, 14 steals, six home runs, 20 RBI and 25 runs scored across 56 games this season, but more consistency at the plate recently in a positive sign.

Ryan Weathers SP | NYY
Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Strikes out 10 in loss
Weathers (2-3) allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out 10 over 6.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Athletics.
Weathers reached double-digit strikeouts for the second time this year. He's also worked into the seventh inning or later in five of his 11 starts, though this time it came with three home runs given up while he matched his season high for runs allowed. The southpaw has still looked pretty good in his first year with the Yankees, posting a 3.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 75:19 K:BB through 64 innings. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Red Sox.
