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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 ERA and three saves over the 11.1 innings he's logged across 12 appearances since being activated from the injured list May 23.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

May is ready to give it a go again after missing several weeks because of anxiety-related issues. If those are behind him, 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.

May (personal) logged two rehab appearances for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday, allowing an earned run on a solo home run while also issuing a walk and recording a strikeout over 1.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
