Brooklyn played losing baseball in May, going 14-16 as injuries took their toll. The Knights finished the month in a tie for first place in the division. By far the biggest loss was starter José Arisa, who ruptured his ulnar collateral ligament on May 27. He will require surgery and will miss the rest of the season. Thus far, no team is running away with its division. The largest lead is currently held by the St. James Crusaders, ahead of the Phoenix Rattlers by a mere three games.
