Dustin May

May appeared to be nearing a rehab assignment in July after a year-long recovery from flexor tendon and UCL revision surgery. However, he was forced to undergo surgery again to repair an esophageal tear, an injury suffered while eating dinner, and that took a 2024 return off the table. Once a top prospect, May underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 and has totaled 101 innings in the majors over the past four seasons. Indeed his velocity has proven to be a double-edged sword. After this latest absence, May is essentially an unknown since only the Dodgers have a real read on where he is entering 2025. The right-hander is out of minor-league options and perhaps a stint in the Los Angeles bullpen could be in the cards as a way to ease him back in at the highest level. Read Past Outlooks
