Tyler Davis RP | CHW
White Sox's Tyler Davis: Tagged with loss Tuesday
Davis (2-2) was tagged with the loss in Tuesday's extra-inning 5-3 loss to the Twins. He allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk across one inning. He struck out one.
Davis has made 13 relief appearances for the White Sox since his big-league debut April 25, and while he hasn't been bad, his 3.45 ERA across 15.2 innings doesn't stand out either. This outing snapped a streak of three consecutive scoreless appearances for the right-hander, while the earned runs were his first allowed since May 8. Davis has now given up eight runs (six earned) while posting a 12:8 K:BB in 13.2 innings since the beginning of the month.

Taylor Rogers RP | MIN
Twins' Taylor Rogers: Earns win in relief
Rogers (1-1) earned the win after tossing a scoreless 10th inning in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the White Sox. He allowed one hit and struck out one.
Rogers earned the win after the Twins closed things out in the 11th frame. His overall season numbers are shaky, as he owns a 3.54 ERA with a 1.57 WHIP in 20.1 innings across 23 outings. However, he's been turning things around of late and hasn't allowed runs, nor has he issued walks over his last eight appearances (6.2 innings), a span in which he has two saves, two holds and six strikeouts.

Yoendrys Gomez RP | MIN
Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Third save of season
Gomez earned his third save of the season in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the White Sox. He allowed a run and struck out one in one inning of work.
Gomez entered the game in the 11th inning when the Twins had a three-run lead. Even though he allowed a run when an RBI single from Chase Meidroth scored Munetaka Murakami, Gomez managed to close the door on the win while tossing 11 of his 18 pitches for strikes. Gomez has gone 3-for-3 in save chances this season. Gomez remains a reliable arm in the late-inning mix and owns a 1.04 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 10 appearances (8.2 innings) in May.

Erik Sabrowski RP | CLE
Guardians' Erik Sabrowski: No structural damage in elbow
Sabrowski (elbow) underwent an MRI on Tuesday which confirmed inflammation but no structural damage, MLB.com reports.
Sabrowski was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday after not appearing in a game since last week. The Guardians have not provided a timeline as of yet, but the MLB.com report suggests a possible return in July. The return timeline could change pending new information in the coming weeks.

Colin Holderman RP | CLE
Guardians' Colin Holderman: Thriving in bullpen
Holderman allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless sixth inning in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Washington.
Holderman has been near perfect since the Guardians recalled him in late April, which is encouraging given that the team recently placed Erik Sabrowski (elbow), a high-leverage reliever, on the injured list. In 13 appearances since being called up, Holderman has allowed just one run on eight hits and three walks while striking out 19 over 16.1 innings. He told Tim Stebbins of MLB.com that health is the main reason for his success in 2026 after the reliever logged a 7.01 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 25.2 innings for the Pirates last year. While Tuesday's outing was in a low-leverage spot, manager Stephen Vogt has recently incorporated Holderman late into close games. Within the last week, he's earned two wins and a hold.

Jacob Latz RP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob Latz: Notches sixth save
Latz earned a save against the Astros on Tuesday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters over 1.1 innings.
Texas jumped out to an 8-0 lead after one inning, but Houston managed to close the deficit to three runs with two outs in the eighth. Latz was brought in with a runner on second in that frame and struck out Brice Matthews to finish the inning. He then gave up a solo homer to Jeremy Pena in the ninth, but the Astros weren't able to get any closer. Latz's save was his first in two weeks and just his third appearance over that span. With that said, no Texas pitcher picked up a save during those two weeks, and Latz remains the leading candidate for saves moving forward.

Bailey Falter RP | KC
Royals' Bailey Falter: Falters badly against Yankees
Falter (0-2) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits while striking out three batters over 2.1 innings.
Falter was called upon to work as Kansas City's opener for a second straight outing. He gave the Royals 2.1 frames but was hit hard, serving up three homers and five runs before he departed. Two more runs were charged to Falter's ledger following his exit, pushing his ERA to an ugly 13.97 through 9.2 frames on the campaign. It remains to be seen how Falter will be utilized moving forward, but he's struggled to such an extent that Kansas City may need to reconsider his role.

Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY
Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Records three-inning save
Yarbrough tossed three scoreless innings against the Royals on Tuesday, allowing two hits and issuing one walk while registering a save.
Cam Schlittler gave New York six innings of one-run ball, and the Yankees had built a 10-1 lead when Yarbrough entered in the seventh. The left-hander ended up closing out the contest, firing 29 of 44 pitches for strikes and keeping Kansas City out of the scoring column. Yarbrough notched his first save since picking up another three-inning save in September of last season. The veteran hurler doesn't figure to log many additional saves given his middle- and long-relief role.

Matt Bowman RP | MIN
Blue Jays' Matt Bowman: Latches on with Jays
Bowman signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Bowman owns a 1.69 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 21.1 innings at Triple-A this season, but he was let go by the Twins on Wednesday after exercising an opt-out clause in his contract. The 35-year-old's impressive performance could lead to a return to the big leagues more easily now that he's with the Blue Jays, who currently have 10 pitchers on the injured list.

Garrett Crochet RP | BOS
Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Set for another live BP on Sunday
Crochet (shoulder) said that he's scheduled to throw a second live batting practice session Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Crochet completed a one-inning live BP session Tuesday, marking the first time that he faced hitters since landing on the injured list April 29 due to left shoulder inflammation. The southpaw felt pleased with how the session went, noting afterward that he's no longer dealing with fatigue and is now focused on ramping up his workload and honing his mechanics. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy was similarly upbeat after Crochet's workout, noting that the 26-year-old's velocity sat in the mid-90s. Boston hasn't ruled out the possibility of Crochet returning from the IL without going out on a rehab assignment, but because he's been on the shelf for the past month, he'll most likely need to make a start in the minors prior to being activated.
