Bukauskas (lat) was activated from the 7-day injured list Saturday.

Bukauskas has made a full recovery after undergoing surgery on his right lat in February of 2025. He made his first appearance with Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out two over one inning of relief work.

Valdez (2-3) took the loss Monday against the Guardians, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out three.

The 32-year-old left-hander was mostly ineffective Monday, inducing just four whiffs while falling one walk short of his season worst. Valdez has been a boom-or-bust fantasy player so far in 2026, as he's given up two runs or fewer in seven starts while yielding at least four in the other three. He'll be searching for some consistency during his next scheduled outing in Baltimore, where Valdez will carry a lackluster 4.58 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 45:21 K:BB over 55 innings.

Lee was removed from Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks due to back spasms, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lee will likely be sent for further evaluation to determine whether he'll need a stint on the injured list. He can be considered day-to-day until the club has another update to share. Will Brennan took over in right field Monday in Lee's absence.

Bednar picked up the save in Monday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with two strikeouts across one inning.

Bednar was brought on to protect a two-run lead but issued a leadoff walk and RBI double to his first two batters. He eventually settled in to retire three of the final four Blue Jays, earning his 11th save. Bednar has now been scored upon in three straight outings and five of seven appearances this month. The right-hander's ERA has ballooned from 3.55 to 5.14 along the way. Bednar owns a 25:9 K:BB across 21 innings.

Lindsey (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Lindsey wrapped up a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League in mid-May after starting the season on the shelf due to a shoulder issue. He's been seeing the ball well since being activated from the injured list, as he's gone 6-for-14 with one home run, two RBI and two runs scored in three games with Single-A Ontario.

Weathers didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks with seven strikeouts across 5.1 innings.

Weathers didn't have his best stuff against Toronto, as he was burned by the long ball in this one. The left-hander served up a three-run shot to Ernie Clement in the fourth inning before George Springer took him deep for a solo shot in the fifth. While the results weren't great, Weathers has continued to flourish from a K:BB perspective. This was his third walk-less start of the season, and he's now struck out a career-high 4.7 batters for every issued walk. He's in the 90th percentile in strikeout rate, and through nine starts, Weathers owns a 3.58 ERA and 61:13 K:BB across 50.2 innings. He's lined up to take his next turn through the rotation against the Rays over the weekend.

Spence (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Spence landed on the minor-league injured list at the end of April with an unspecified injury, but he's back on the field after completing a brief rehab stint. He's collected a pair of RBI and one stolen base in four appearances since being activated.

Stefanic was sent outright to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

Stefanic was booted from the 40-man roster Saturday, and after going unclaimed on waivers, he'll head to Triple-A. The 30-year-old appeared in two games for the A's and went 2-for-5 with one run scored during his brief time with the big-league club.

Petty (blister) took the loss after allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out one over three innings against Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Petty battled a blister on his pitching hand in his previous start, but he was cleared to toe the rubber Sunday. He turned in one of his worst outings of the 2026 season, tying a season high in hits allowed and runs allowed. Unless the team states otherwise, Petty appears to have put the blister behind him.

Roberts allowed a run on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers.

Roberts got the call early with Shota Imanaga getting shelled for eight runs in only 4.1 innings of work. The former slowed down Milwaukee a bit, though he did allow his first run of the season in the process. Roberts is still sitting with a stellar 0.96 ERA in 9.1 innings across seven appearances this year, and he might need to take on a larger bullpen role moving forward with Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) and Riley Martin (elbow) both on the 15-day injured list, and Hunter Harvey (triceps) on the 60-day injured list.
