May remains in Minnesota's closer mix, but manager Rocco Baldeli has not indicated who may be his closer or if he'll use a bullpen by committee, MLB.com reports. "You might not ever get to the point where you're giving firm answers on those sort of things," Baldelli said.

May signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Twins on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

May will be used as a reliever in 2019 and will not move to the rotation, Twins Chief Baseball Officer Derek Falvey told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

May recorded two outs on two strikeouts and picked up the save in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Trevor May will serve as the opener against the Astros on Tuesday. May has a tidy 1.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 22 K's in 14 1/3 innings of work in the big leagues this year, but he hasn't made any starts. That means he won't stay in the game long enough to earn a decision. The matchup against the Astros isn't the best, either. Stay away from May in fantasy leagues.

May was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Trevor May has been recalled from Triple A on Tuesday. The Twins needed to fill a roster spot after trading Lance Lynn on Monday. May has not pitched in the big leagues this season. May has a 3.60 ERA over 14 appearances (five starts) in the minors this season. It's unclear whether or not the Twins plan on using May in the rotation or bullpen. He's only thrown 30 innings this season and walked 19 batters in that time. He should be left on the waiver wire.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Trevor May (elbow) is expected to throw five innings during a rehab start on Tuesday with Triple-A Rochester. He will throw six innings on Sunday with the same club, and could return from the 60-day disabled list after that. It's unclear whether or not the Twins plan to use May as a starter or reliever on the MLB roster. He is recovering from Tommy John surgery, so expect the team to be cautious. He only holds value if the Twins use May as a starter, but fantasy owners should wait and see what happens. He could have some value in deeper leagues, but should be left on the waiver wire right now.

The Twins activated reliever Trevor May from the disabled list on Monday after nearly a month on the shelf with a back injury. May owns a ghastly 6.08 ERA in 26.2 innings this season, with 40 strikeouts and just ten walks. He was lights out in the first six weeks of the season, and was a candidate to replace Kevin Jepsen as closer before he completely fell apart in mid-May. He was solid in four rehab starts at Triple-A Rochester, and could end up being the best pitcher in the Minnesota bullpen by the end of the year. May has a shot at the closer job if Brandon Kintzler begins to struggle, so owners should monitor his appearances.

May (back) will be activated from the disabled list Tuesday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

May (back) will not be activated from the DL until at least Tuesday and maybe a day or two longer, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
