The 33-year-old right-hander allowed five hits on the day while issuing four walks. The lone blemish on his day came on a solo blast by Jordan Beck in his final inning of work. Lorenzen generated 12 swings and misses on 96 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 32 percent. He’ll try to build off of this strong outing as he carries a 3.90 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 24/11 K/BB ratio (27 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s showdown against the Rays in Tampa Bay.

Sauer will be capable of working multiple innings, but the 26-year-old won’t be able to go deep enough to qualify for a victory unless the Athletics are incredibly aggressive against the right-hander. He won’t be a quality streaming option for Thursday’s bullpen game against the Athletics.

Ohtani hit a no-doubter to lead off the game for the Dodgers and it bumps his homer total to 13. He’s been remarkably — and surprisingly — good in the month of May, and he’s now slashing .341/.442/.818 over those 48 at-bats in that timeframe. There’s a long way to go, but a back-to-back MVP season is well within reason, even if he doesn’t return to the mound in 2025.
