Krehbiel allowed a walk and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning to earn a hold in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Yankees.

Krehbiel is up to five holds in 17 appearances this year after protecting a one-run lead Thursday. While he's started to work in high-leverage spots, he's allowed five runs across 7.1 innings in May after a solid April. Overall, the 29-year-old right-hander has a 3.24 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 16.2 innings. His five holds put him behind only Dillon Tate (six) among Orioles relievers.

Bautista (1-1) earned the win Thursday versus the Yankees. He walked one and recorded one out.

Bautista was called upon for the last out in the top of the ninth inning after Jorge Lopez allowed the game-tying run. Bautista walked Joey Gallo but got Giancarlo Stanton to line out to end a bases-loaded threat, and the Orioles won on Anthony Santander's walkoff homer. Through 7.2 innings in May, Bautista's allowed just two runs, and they came in a non-save situation. The right-hander has a 2.81 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 16 innings this season while adding two saves and a hold in 17 appearances.

Zimmermann allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk across five innings during Thursday's 9-6 win over the Yankees. He struck out two.

Zimmerman gave up a two-run single to Giancarlo Stanton in the first and a solo shot to the slugger in the third. He was ultimately chased in the sixth after allowing back-to-back singles and saw his his line take a blow when both of those runners came around to score on a game-tying single from Isiah Kiner-Falefa. It was Zimmerman's worst start of the season by a wide margin, and it was the first time he's given up more than three earned runs in an outing. His next start is tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Yankees in New York on Tuesday.

Lopez blew the save after allowing one run on one hit and two walks across one inning during Thursday's 9-6 win over the Yankees. He struck out three.

Lopez came on in the eighth with a runner on first and struck out Aaron Hicks to end the inning. However, he got into trouble in the ninth and allowed the tying run to score on a single fromDJ LeMahieu. It was Lopez's second blown save in six opportunities, but he didn't take the loss as the Orioles were able to rally in the bottom of the ninth. He has a 1.42 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB over 19 innings this season.

Green exited Thursday's game against Baltimore due to right forearm discomfort, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Green entered Thursday's matchup in the bottom of the sixth inning but exited with a trainer after throwing just 11 pitches. The righty will be reevaluated Friday when the Yankees return to New York.

Green was removed from Thursday's game against the Orioles in the bottom of the sixth inning due to an apparent injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Green was effective early in his relief appearance, as he threw eight of his 11 pitches for strikes. However, he motioned for a trainer after allowing a hit and no walks while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. The nature and severity of Green's injury aren't yet clear.

Alexander (elbow) has been limited to throwing on flat ground since landing on the 15-day injured list May 2, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Alexander is one of five Tigers starting pitchers currently on the IL, and Eduardo Rodriguez (side) will make it six when the team deactivates him at some point before Friday's game in Cleveland. Though Alexander didn't enter the season as a major rotation piece for Detroit, his absence due to the left elbow sprain looms large with so many other key arms also on the mend. Since he has yet to graduate to throwing off a mound since being shelved more than two weeks ago, Alexander appears unlikely to return until June at the soonest.

Mata (elbow) threw two innings in an extended spring training game Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Mata is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent in April of last year. He still has steps to take before completing his recovery, but his performance Thursday was an encouraging one, as he struck out five batters in two hitless innings and touched 100 mph with his fastball.

Snider (3-1) earned the win Wednesday, allowing a hit in one-third of an inning without giving up a run versus the White Sox.

Zack Greinke wasn't able to complete the sixth inning, with Snider instead recording the last out. The Royals then pulled ahead for good in the bottom half of the frame. Snider leads the Royals with six holds, and he's posted a 4.70 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB through 15.1 innings. He's given up runs in four of his eight appearances in May.

Pivetta (2-4) earned the win after allowing one run on two hits across nine innings during Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Astros. He finished with eight strikeouts and zero walks.

Pivetta allowed a leadoff blast to Jose Altuve in the first inning and then proceeded to shut down the Astros' potent offense for the rest of the day. After posting a dismal 7.84 ERA though his first five starts, the 29-year-old right-hander has been dominant over his last three appearances. During that stretch, Pivetta has allowed just two runs across 22 innings while sporting a 20:1 K:BB. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday's matchup with the White Sox.
