Schreiber allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 12-8 loss to Baltimore.

Schreiber, who has pitched well out of the bullpen, was caught up in a meltdown. He recorded a hold in the outing, but he and three other relievers combined to allow 10 runs on 10 hits and three walks over the final three innings. The Red Sox have blown 12 of 20 save chances and the staff owns a 5.40 ERA in the eighth inning or later.

Holmes struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his sixth save of the season in a 2-0 win over the Rays.

The right-hander continues to dominate, as Holmes reeled off his 22nd straight scoreless appearance. With Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) lacking a timetable for his return, Holmes will continue to fill the closer's role for the Yankees, a job he should have no trouble thriving in given his 0.36 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 26:2 K:BB through 24.2 innings.

Strahm (2-2) took the loss after blowing a save during Friday's 12-8 defeat against Baltimore. He gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits with one strikeout and zero walks in one-third of an inning.

Strahm entered with two outs during the eighth inning and was charged with blown save after giving up an unearned run on a double, a single and an error. The lefty returned for the ninth and was pulled after allowing three singles to open the frame, all of which came around to score. Strahm entered with a 1.88 ERA for the season and hadn't allowed a run since April 25, but the poor performance ballooned his ERA up to 3.68.

Cano was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul after Friday's game against the Royals, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Cano allowed two runs on two hits with a strikeout and a walk over two-thirds of an inning during Friday's victory, and he'll now head back to St. Paul. The 28-year-old surrendered 11 earned runs across 7.1 innings for the Twins after being promoted May 11.

Silseth yielded two runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. He failed to record a strikeout and did not factor in the decision.

For the second straight start, Silseth was bounced during the fifth inning. He gave up a run in each of the second and fifth frames during Friday's loss. The 22-year-old rookie has walked exactly two batters in each of his three MLB starts and he now owns a 10:6 K:BB through 14.2 innings. Silseth is expected to take the mound in Philadelphia next week.

Romano struck out the side and earned a save over the Angels on Friday.

Romano was his usual dominant self Friday, fanning all three batters he faced on just 12 pitches. He's now converted 15 of 17 save chances on the year with a 24:5 K:BB through 18.2 innings. The 29-year-old has given up one unearned run over his last five appearances while lowering his season ERA to 2.41.

Santana struck out one batter in a perfect inning and notched a save over Oakland on Friday.

Santana was given his first save opportunity of the year Friday and finished off the 8-5 with no issue, tossing 10 of 11 pitches for strikes. Primary closer Joe Barlow had thrown 24 pitches over the last two games, which could be the reason Santana was handed this save chance. He lowered his season ERA to 1.93 with one save and six holds through 14 innings. Santana has gone five straight appearances without allowing an earned run.

Giles (finger) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Giles' 2022 debut has been delayed by an injury to the tendon in his right middle finger, but he's closing in on his return from the injured list. The 31-year-old hasn't seen MLB action since undergoing Tommy John surgery in September of 2020, so his rehab stint in the minors is likely to last a few weeks.

Green (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The Yankees announced last weekend that Green will require Tommy John surgery, so his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. The right-hander had posted a 3.00 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 15 innings over 14 relief appearances prior to his injury, but he'll miss the remainder of 2022 and likely the majority of the 2023 season.

Coulombe (hip) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Coulombe had been on the injured list since May 11, but he recently made a pair of rehab appearances at Triple-A St. Paul and allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in two innings. The southpaw has posted a 0.75 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 12 innings over nine relief appearances for the Twins this season and will rejoin the major-league bullpen after a relatively minimal absence.
