Dustin May Fantasy Stats

In a cruel twist of fate on Wednesday against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers on the road, St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Dustin May took a no-hitter into the eighth inning, but he and the Cards ultimately fell by a score of 2-1 on the road. May was outstanding, allowing two runs (one earned) on just two hits while walking none and striking out a season-high nine batters in seven innings pitched. Despite the valiant effort, the 28-year-old took his sixth loss of the season. Garrett Mitchell broke up the no-no in the bottom of the eighth inning to lead off the frame with a double to left-center field, and then he allowed a bunt single to Luis Rengifo. Both runners came around to score, and that's all it took. May has pitched much better over his last 53 2/3 innings, posting a 3.02 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 44:14 K:BB, but he hasn't won in his last six outings. His strong showing on Wednesday lowered his season ERA to 4.57. May is only rostered in 14% of Yahoo leagues, but after his near no-hitter, and with an upcoming matchup against the Texas Rangers, that number should be on the rise.

Free-agent right-hander Dustin May and the St. Louis Cardinals agreed on an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday that includes a mutual option for the 2027 season, pending a physical, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. May will return to the National League after starting the 2025 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers before being traded to the Boston Red Sox. The 28-year-old went a combined 7-11 with a career-worst 4.96 ERA (4.88 FIP), 1.42 WHIP, and 123:56 K:BB ratio in 132 1/3 innings pitched over 25 appearances (23 starts). The numbers don't look great, but the biggest takeaway was that May managed to stay healthy for a career-high 132 1/3 frames. Especially after St. Louis traded Sonny Gray away this offseason, May should be a lock for a starting rotation spot with the Cards going into next season. Through his first six MLB seasons, the former third-rounder has been a disappointment due to injuries and a lackluster 21.9% strikeout rate.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Dustin May (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice in Fort Myers, Fla., on Tuesday. May, who has been on the 15-day injured list with elbow neuritis since Sept. 6, is running out of time to return during the regular season. Between the injury and his subpar performance, the 28-year-old has endured a rough several weeks since the Red Sox acquired him from the Los Angeles Dodgers at the July 31 trade deadline. In six appearances (five starts) with Boston, May has gone 1-4 with a 5.40 ERA, a 1.69 WHIP, and 26:13 K:BB in 28 1/3 innings.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Dustin May (elbow) was able to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday, according to Christopher Smith of Mass Live. May is "trending in the right direction," according to manager Alex Cora, but the skipper also acknowledged that the 28-year-old might be running out of time to make it back to help the team this year, including in the postseason if the team qualifies. May landed on the 15-day injured list last week with neuritis in his right elbow, making it unlikely that we'll see him again in 2025. If he were to return in October, he would almost certainly be used in a relief role out of the bullpen. Since coming over to Boston in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers in July, May has not been effective, sporting a 5.40 ERA and 1.69 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and 13 walks in 28 1/3 innings over six outings (five starts).

Boston Red Sox right-hander Dustin May (elbow) has yet to resume throwing since he landed on the 15-day injured list on Sept. 9, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. May was diagnosed with elbow neuritis, and he doesn't have any structural damage. Earlier this week, the 28-year-old expressed confidence that he could return during the regular season, but he's running out of time with a little over two weeks remaining. Between the injury and his struggles on the mound, May has been a disappointing pickup for the Red Sox since they acquired him from the Los Angeles Dodgers in late July. He has made six appearances (five starts) with Boston and gone 1-4 with a 5.40 ERA, a 1.69 WHIP, and 26:13 K:BB in 28 1/3 innings.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Dustin May (elbow) landed on the 15-day injured list with elbow neuritis on Tuesday (retroactive to Sept. 6). However, he avoided structural damage and expects to return this year. May told reporters there's a "very big possibility" he'll be back before the regular season ends. If that doesn't happen, the 28-year-old is optimistic that he'll be ready for a potential playoff run in October. Whether Boston would want to use May in the postseason is in question, as the former Los Angeles Dodger has fallen flat since joining the Red Sox in a July trade. May has gone 1-4 with a 5.40 ERA, a 1.69 WHIP, and 26:13 K:BB in 28 1/3 innings as a member of the Red Sox. Meanwhile, left-handed prospect Connelly Early - whom the team promoted to start in May's place on Tuesday - dazzled in his major league debut. Early punched out 11 hitters across five scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Athletics.

The Boston Red Sox will place right-hander Dustin May (undisclosed) on the 15-day injured list with an undisclosed issue. He had been scheduled to start Tuesday against the Athletics, but left-handed prospect Connelly Early will come up from Triple-A Worcester to toe the rubber in his place. The Red Sox acquired May from the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 31, but the pickup hasn't worked out. May has made six appearances (five starts) with the Red Sox and gone 1-4 with a 5.40 ERA, a 1.69 WHIP, and 26:13 K:BB over 28 1/3 innings. Between Los Angeles and Boston, May has a 7-11 record with a 4.96 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, 123 strikeouts, and 56 walks in 132 1/3 frames. Depending on the severity of his injury, the soon-to-be free agent may have thrown his last pitch as a member of the Red Sox.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Dustin May will move to the bullpen for this week. The team wants to keep all their starters on turn following Thursday's off day. Basically, the Red Sox want to make sure May gets into game action and not have 10 days off between starts. The team plans to go with a bullpen game on Wednesday, so possibly May pitches then. It sounds like May moving to the bullpen is only for this week and he'll get back into the rotation after that. May has struggled with his new team as he has allowed 11 earned runs over his last two starts. The right-hander might only be worth rostering in deep leagues given his struggles on the mound lately.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Dustin May's next start has been pushed from Friday to Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Red Sox have not named a starter for Friday, but 22-year-old southpaw Payton Tolle is a candidate to make his debut then, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Tolle, who ranks as MLB Pipeline's 28th-best prospect, has combined for a 3.04 ERA with a .99 WHIP and 133:23 K:BB over 91 2/3 innings divided among High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A this season. On the other hand, 2025 has been a struggle for May. The 27-year-old has gone 7-10 with a 4.79 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP and 117:50 K:BB in 124 frames between the Dodgers and Red Sox. The good news for May is that the Pirates have scored the fewest runs in the majors (483).

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May was traded to the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. In exchange, the Dodgers will receive 2024 first-round pick James Tibbs III who was acquired in the Rafael Devers deal. May posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 97/43 K/BB ratio across 19 appearances with the Dodgers this season. The team planned to shift him to the bullpen before trading him. It's uncertain if the Red Sox will use him as a starter or reliever. If he heads to the bullpen, May will see his fantasy value take a significant hit. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to see what the Red Sox plans are for him.
