Notches seventh save May allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Red Sox.

Impact May has collected all seven of his saves this year over his last 13 appearances. He's given up six runs (five earned), eight hits and 10 walks in that span, but he's been moderately effective at limiting the damage. The veteran reliever is now at a 5.11 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 20:20 K:BB through 24.2 innings this season.

Secures sixth save May picked up the save in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Detroit. He allowed no hits and one walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Impact Oakland broke a scoreless tie in the top of the 10th inning, and May worked around the designated runner and a two-out walk in the bottom of the frame for his sixth save of the year. The right-hander gave up eight earned runs in his first eight outings of the season before he landed on the injured list in mid-April for anxiety issues, but since rejoining the active roster May 23 he has a 2.70 ERA with six saves in 17 appearances.

Picks up fifth save May picked up the save Friday against the White Sox. He allowed one run on one hit while striking out two over 1.1 innings. He did not walk a batter.

Impact May has now reached a new single-season career-high in saves. However, his inflated 1.79 WHIP would also be the highest of his career if the season ended today, rendering him untrustworthy in fantasy.

Notches fourth save May gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact The game seemed like it was headed for extra innings until Shea Langeliers launched a solo shot off Toronto closer Jordan Romano in the top of the ninth, setting the stage for May to wrap things up. The veteran reliever has been tagged for earned runs only once in nine appearances in June while going 4-for-4 on save chances, but his 3.68 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 6:7 K:BB through 7.1 innings on the month suggest his hold on the closer role in Oakland is tenuous at best.

Takes fourth loss Tuesday May (1-4) to the extra-inning loss against the Guardians on Tuesday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk without retiring a batter.

Impact Entrusted with preserving a 2-2 tie when he entered in the 10th inning, May issued an intentional walk to Josh Naylor to open his appearance and ultimately surrendered a game-winning RBI single to Andres Gimenez. The veteran right-hander had gone into Tuesday with eight scoreless efforts in his previous nine outings, and despite the hiccup versus Cleveland, he's still generated a solid 3.18 ER and three saves over the 11.1 innings he's logged across 12 appearances since being activated from the injured list due to anxiety-related issues May 23.

Converts third save May walked two and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Rays.

Impact May got a little help when Randy Arozarena was caught stealing for the second out, and he set down Jose Siri on three strikes to finish the save. This was a decent bounce-back effort for May, who allowed three runs in two-thirds of an inning in his appearance Sunday versus the Brewers. Prior to that messy outing, he'd posted a 5.2-inning scoreless streak. The veteran reliever is up to three saves with a 6.61 ERA, 1.84 WHIP, 13:15 K:BB and two blown saves over 16.1 innings this year.

Locks down save Friday May struck out two batters in a perfect inning and earned a save over the Brewers on Friday.

Impact May took care of business by retiring the side in order to secure the 5-2 win Friday. He's picked up a save in each of his last two appearances after blowing his first two save opportunities this season. May lowered his ERA to 5.52 and is currently riding a 5.2-inning scoreless streak.

Grabs first save May picked up the save in Wednesday's 9-5 victory over Pittsburgh, allowing a hit over two-thirds of a scoreless inning.

Impact May worked out of a bases-loaded jam to stave off a Pirates' comeback while notching his first save of the season. After a rough start to the year, the 33-year-old May has thrown five consecutive scoreless innings, lowering his ERA to 5.93 with a 1.76 WHIP and 9:10 K:BB through 13.2 innings this season. May is probably the best bet to earn saves in Oakland, though opportunities will be few and far between on a last-place A's team.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns with scoreless inning May hit two batters in a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

Impact May spent over a month on the injured list due to anxiety-related issues. He was a little shaky in his return to the big-leagues, throwing just eight of 15 pitches for strikes, but he was able to keep the game within a run. The right-hander figures to be in the mix for saves eventually, though he may need a couple more lower-leverage assignments to get back up to speed. He has a 10.29 ERA, 2.71 WHIP and 6:9 K:BB across seven innings this season.

Activated from injured list Oakland activated May (personal) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact May is ready to give it a go again after missing several weeks because of anxiety-related issues. If those are in the rearview, the 33-year-old reliever would have a clear path toward claiming a high-leverage role in the Oakland bullpen. But he is probably more of a wait-and-see type in fantasy all things considered.

Impact It was May's second and third rehab outing for the Aviators since resuming his rehab assignment Tuesday. The veteran reliever is looking to work back into a rhythm and regain confidence after anxiety-related issues landed him on the injured list April 19. While the recent frequency of appearances is encouraging, there's still no firm timetable on May's potential activation.

One inning in rehab resumption May (personal) allowed an earned run on two hits and a wild pitch over one inning in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Salt Lake on Tuesday. He struck out one.

Impact May returned to the minor-league mound for the first time since May 2, and despite the busy line during his one frame, he actually fired 15 of his 18 pitches for strikes. The veteran right-hander -- whose placement on the injured list is due to anxiety-related issues -- arguably has a bit more uncertainty attached to his return timeline than if he were dealing with a physical injury, and it's certainly possible the team opts to allow him to build some momentum in the minors before activation is considered.

Resuming rehab stint May (personal) will join Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Jason Burke of Locked On A's reports.

Impact May pressed the pause button on his rehab stint May 4, but he's now ready to get back on the bump. He was initially placed on the injured list with anxiety-related issues April 19 and remains without a firm timetable for a return.

Pausing rehab assignment May's (personal) rehab assignment is ""in a pause right now," Athletics manager Mark Kotsay told Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday.

Impact May -- who is on the injured list with anxiety-related issues -- made a scoreless appearance with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday but will shut things down for now. Given the nature of what he's dealing with, it's difficult to project when he might rejoin the A's.

Scoreless frame in rehab appearance May (personal) was credited with a hold in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Sacramento on Tuesday, firing a scoreless sixth inning in which he allowed a hit and issued a walk.

Impact May fired 17 pitches overall while working around some minor trouble. The veteran right-hander, who'd struggled to a 12.00 ERA and 3.17 WHIP across six innings with the Athletics before being placed on the injured list with anxiety-related issues, may be given at least a couple more opportunities to reset himself with the Aviators before being deemed ready to return to the big-league club.

Making rehab appearance Tuesday Athletics manager Mark Kotsay announced that May (personal) will make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact May was placed on the injured list by the Athletics with issues related to anxiety. The right-hander will likely need to make a handful of rehab appearances before he can rejoin the Oakland bullpen, and the team won't rush May back until they feel he's ready after dealing with mental health issues.

Knocked around in third loss May (2-3) took the loss against the Cubs on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs on two hits and a walk over one-third of an inning.

Impact Tasked with preserving a scoreless tie when he entered in the eighth inning, May worked himself into immediate trouble by issuing a leadoff walk to Seiya Suzuki and a double to Patrick Wisdom. A Cody Bellinger run-scoring single and Yan Gomes RBI groundout followed and were enough to chase May, who's now been charged with a loss in two of his last three appearances and has given up seven earned runs over the three innings covering his last five trips to the mound overall.

Hit with second loss May (2-2) took the loss to the Orioles on Thursday, allowing a game-winning solo home run to the only batter he faced.

Impact May's ill-fated outing lasted all of two pitches, with Adley Rutschman launching the right-hander's second offering, a four-seam fastball, 405 feet to right center for a game-winning homer. May qualified for just two decisions all of last season with the Mets across 26 appearances, but he's been put into his fair share of pivotal game scenarios early in his Athletics tenure, albeit with mixed results that now include three straight appearances with at least one earned run allowed.
