Langford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 loss to Toronto.

Langford ran his hitting streak up to a modest four games, also tallying his 10th homer of the year and first RBI in his last eight outings. The speedy outfielder got off to a sizzling start at the dish but has seen his production taper off a bit in May, during which he's hitting .198 with four homers, two doubles and nine RBI through 91 at-bats. Even so, Langford has logged at least one hit in eight of his last nine contests, and he's collected 13 runs scored, six stolen bases and 11 walks this month.

Hoffman secured the save in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers after throwing a scoreless ninth inning with no strikeouts.

It was the 11th save of the season for Hoffman, who's looking to overcome what's been a dreadful month of May to this point. Over his last eight innings, the hard-throwing right-hander owns a 14.63 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB while converting just five of his eight save chances. The Blue Jays have continued to demonstrate trust in Hoffman as their closer, and they'll likely have to lean even more heavily on him for ninth-inning work as long as Yimi Garcia (shoulder) is recovering on the injured list.

Lorenzen (3-6) took the loss Monday against the Reds after allowing six runs on 11 hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out two.

Lorenzen established season worsts in runs, hits allowed and punchouts, with the 11 knocks even representing a career-worst mark. The veteran right-hander has struggled on the mound a bit this month, as he's logged a 5.34 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over his last five starts, but he does hold a more encouraging 24:6 K:BB across his last 28.2 innings. Lorenzen will be trying to find a groove in his next scheduled outing, but he'll have his work cut out at home versus the first-place Tigers this weekend.

DeGrom (4-2) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays after allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

It was notably the first time in deGrom's illustrious career that he was unable to register a single punchout, as he whiffed just three Monday. Even so, it was the star right-hander's eighth consecutive start throwing at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer, and he boasts a 1.85 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 49:8 K:BB covering his last 48.2 frames. Manager Bruce Bochy noted after the game that deGrom was pulled after 81 pitches as a precaution after racking up high pitch counts in his last two starts, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com. Next up for deGrom is a tough matchup at home versus the Cardinals, which is set to come this weekend.

Gil (lat) could throw off a mound Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Skipper Aaron Boone noted that Gil has been feeling strong in his rehab, indicating that the right-hander's throwing program is continuing to progress in the right direction. If all goes well during the week, the club may clear Gil to throw off a mound at Dodger Stadium, per Hoch.

Gausman (5-4) recorded the win Monday against the Rangers after allowing one run on five hits and no walks in eight innings. He struck out six.

On the heels of tossing seven shutout innings his last time out, Gausman matched a season high in innings pitched Monday in another dominant outing. The veteran right-hander whiffed 15 and now hasn't issued a walk in any of his last four starts, and he sports a 2.81 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a remarkable 33:1 K:BB over his last 32 innings (five starts). Gausman will be looking to keep the good times rolling in his next appearance, which is slated to come this weekend at home versus the Athletics.

Ochoa (undisclosed) is 4-for-16 in five games at Single-A Fayetteville this season.

Ochoa began the 2025 campaign on the 7-day injured list after being involved in a car accident, but he's since been cleared for game action. He appeared in six games at the Florida Complex League earlier in the month (3-for-21 with three RBI and two runs scored) before being activated from the minor league injured list and joining the Woodpeckers.

Cannon (back) will start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Cannon had previously been in line to make his ninth start of the season this past Sunday against the Rangers, but he was scratched due to lower-back tightness. The right-hander has apparently responded well to a couple extra days of recovery and will now make his next turn through the rotation Tuesday. Cannon is enjoying an impressive month so far, posting a 2.74 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 15:0 K:BB across 23 innings (four starts).

Lynch will start Tuesday's contest versus the Reds in Kansas City, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Lynch will toe the rubber for his second start of the season, after he previously tossed 1.2 scoreless innings in his first start last Wednesday against the Giants. The left-hander could see a slight increase in his workload Tuesday, though he's unlikely to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win.

LeMahieu is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.

LeMahieu will begin Monday's game in the dugout after going 3-for-11 with one run and one RBI during the Yankees' weekend series against the Rockies. Jorbit Vivas will shift over to second base while Oswald Peraza gets the start in the hot corner.
