Hodge (2-1) allowed three runs on three hits while retiring just one batter to take the loss Sunday against the Mets.

A day after converting his second save of the season, Hodge struggled to replicate the positive results. The righty saw things crumble in the eighth inning with the score tied 2-2, and his ERA climbed from 4.24 to 5.71 in the process. Hodge was potentially gaining on Ryan Pressly as Chicago's preferred closing option, though this might set the former back to some degree. With Pressly's ERA sitting at 7.07, neither pitcher is inspiring much confidence from fantasy managers at the moment.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Snell is still dealing with some discomfort in his left shoulder and wasn't able to resume playing catch Sunday as planned, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Snell appears to be stuck in a holding pattern in his recovery from left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him on the injured list since April 6. He had been able to resume throwing bullpen sessions less than two weeks after being shelved with the injury, but he experienced a setback in late April and received an injection in his shoulder to aid in his recovery. The injection doesn't appear to have resolved Snell's shoulder discomfort as quickly as anticipated, and the lefty is now set to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday before the Dodgers determine his next steps. Even if he receives a positive evaluation from Dr. ElAttrache, Snell would still seem to be multiple weeks away from returning from the IL.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Sunday that Glasnow (shoulder) resumed playing catch, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

After landing on the 15-day injured list April 28 due to right shoulder inflammation, Glasnow was shut down for just over a week and a half before he was cleared to begin a throwing program. Glasnow has a checkup with Dr. Neal ElAttrache scheduled for Monday, and a clearer timeline for his return from the IL could begin to come into focus following that meeting.

Patrick did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 win against the Rays, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Patrick was handed a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth inning but was unable to complete the frame and earn the win after allowing a double and walk. He generated 11 swinging strikes on 81 pitches and has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in all eight of his starts this season. He'll carry a 3.19 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB across 42.1 innings into a home matchup with the Twins next weekend.

Roupp did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss to Minnesota. He allowed three runs on six hits over five innings while striking out three.

Roupp threw three scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Brooks Lee in the fourth inning. Roupp has thrown five or fewer innings in each of his last four outings, producing a 6.00 ERA during that span. He threw a season-low 75 pitches Sunday. Roupp is sporting a 4.95 ERA with a 42:14 K:BB through 40 innings this season. He's projected for a home matchup against the Athletics next weekend.

Myers is dealing with back discomfort and is scheduled to undergo further imaging Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Myers was held out of the lineup in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox in what initially appeared to be a rest day after he had started in each of the last eight games, but a back injury was at the root of his absence. The fact that he's being sent in for imaging suggests that the Marlins have some fear that Myers' back issue may be more than a day-to-day concern. If Myers is forced to miss any action moving forward, Derek Hill (wrist) -- who is nearing a return from the 10-day injured list -- could replace him as the Marlins' primary center fielder.

Walker (1-2) yielded two runs (one earned) on two hits and an intentional walk while taking the loss against Minnesota on Sunday. He recorded two outs in the 10th inning and was charged with a blown save.

Walker entered the bottom of the 10th inning with a 6-5 lead and hit another speed bump. He gave up an RBI groundout to Ryan Jeffers and a walk-off single to DaShawn Keirsey. Walker has blown two of his nine save chances this season and has been tagged with nine earned runs over his last six innings. His ERA has ballooned up to 6.43 across 14 frames this season. Camilo Doval has gone 13.1 innings -- including one Sunday -- since yielding his last earned run.

Megill earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Megill was called upon to protect a 4-2 lead in the ninth and did so on just 13 pitches. Since blowing his first save April 12, the 31-year-old has converted four straight chances while yielding only one run over nine appearances. On the season, he owns a 3.18 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 11.1 innings while securing five saves in six opportunities.

Yelich went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

Yelich homered and stole a base in the same game for the second time this week and the fourth time this season. He's struggled overall in May, though, going just 6-for-35 with a 1:13 BB:K in nine games. On the season, he carries a disappointing .208 batting average but continues to provide value with seven home runs, 26 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight steals across 165 plate appearances.

Ramos went 2-for-2 with a home run, four RBI and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Twins.

Ramos knocked an RBI sacrifice fly in the first inning before belting a two-run shot in the fourth. He was hit by a pitch in the sixth and hit an RBI single in the eighth. Ramos has gone deep in back-to-back games, which he also did April 30 and May 1. He's up to seven home runs with 19 RBI and an .830 OPS through 40 games.
