Dustin May News
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Dustin May (elbow) is in the early stages of a throwing program progression at camp and is hoping to be back sometime in August. He's finally in a spot where his elbow isn't giving him trouble. May said that even when he came back from Tommy John surgery, he kept waiting for a day when his discomfort would go away. The pain in his arm is no longer an issue. How the Dodgers deploy the hard-throwing 26-year-old later this year may depend on who is healthy by that point in the season. LA is hoping veteran lefty Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) will return in the second half, and they'll have plenty of pieces to juggle given the pitching staff's injury history. The Dodgers aren't currently hinging any plans on May, so fantasy managers in single-year leagues should act similarly.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed right-handed pitcher Dustin May (elbow) on the 60-day injured list, according to SB Nation's Eric Stephen. This was a merely procedural move given that May underwent surgery last summer and is expected to miss the first half of the 2024 season. He had a 2.63 ERA, 6.38 K/9, 3.00 BB/9, and 45.2 percent ground-ball rate through nine starts last year. Injuries have held the former top prospect to just 46 games over five years in the majors. Shifting May to the 60-day injured list creates an extra 40-man roster spot, which will be filled by Ryan Brasier, who was re-signed on Thursday.
Based on Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Dustin May's (elbow) Instagram page, he has started a throwing program this offseason after having flexor-tendon surgery and a Tommy John revision on his right elbow in July. Because of the fact that the 26-year-old will be sidelined until at least the second half of the 2024 season, he'll be left to the waiver wire to start the year in a lot of single-year fantasy leagues. May was ready to break out before getting hurt again in 2023, ultimately finishing with a 2.63 ERA (3.23 FIP) and 0.94 WHIP while walking 16 and fanning 34 in 48 innings over nine starts. If he can ever get past the injury bug, there's a lot to like about May's long-term profile. The Dodgers will most likely ease May in for the second half of 2024, so perhaps his true breakout campaign will now come in 2025.

Dustin May's late-season return from Tommy John Surgery (TJS) went about as well as expected. In six starts (30.0 IP), May had a 2-3 W-L record, 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 29 Ks. It's difficult to put much into the numbers given that May was returning from injury and the Dodgers certainly weren't going to push him but the important things to monitor did look good. His fastball velocity averaged 97.3 MPH, down only slightly from the 97.8 MPH average in 2021 (23.0 IP) and his 12.9% SwStr and 29.7% Whiff% were similar to his 2021 numbers pre-injury. At this point, we've seen enough of May's potential to know he's close to being a star and his career numbers in the Majors paint that picture too. Over 143.2 IP, May has an 8-8 W-L record, 3.26 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 140 Ks. He sports a 3.61 xFIP and 3.81 SIERA and it's around those numbers we can expect to see from May in 2023. May has never topped 150.0 IP in a season across all levels and it's highly unlikely he'll do so this year in his first full season since TJS. The talent is there but for 2023, temper expectations as his workload will be limited. If he can stay healthy this year, the sky is the limit for May moving forward.
