Dustin May News
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said right-hander Dustin May will be under some limitations in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery this year, but the Dodgers haven't exactly decided what that entails. "But I'm excited for him to start the season healthy and not being in that rehab mode," Roberts added. The 25-year-old hard-throwing right-hander returned in 2022 to make six starts, giving up 15 earned runs on 21 hits while walking 14 and striking out 29 in 30 innings pitched for the Blue. To help keep his innings low, the Dodgers will likely skip his turn in the rotation at times, and he could also be moved to the bullpen temporarily. May pitched pretty well, all things considered last year, and his strikeout upside cannot be ignored. 2023 isn't the year to draft his full ceiling.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and pitcher Dustin May agreed to a one-year, $1.675 million contract to avoid salary arbitration. His career has been plagued with injuries, but a healthy Dustin May is not a pitcher you want to face in the batter's box. He has made just 11 starts over the past two seasons, but the Dodgers hope to get him healthy for 2023. May made his season debut in August after recovering from Tommy John surgery. In his six starts in 2022, the 25-year-old displayed a 4.50 ERA along with 29 strikeouts and a 4.38 FIP. If May can stay healthy for the bulk of 2023, he will be included in the Dodgers' five-man rotation consisting of Clayton Kershaw, Julio Urias, Tony Gonsolin, and Noah Syndergaard. If everything goes right for the right-hander, he should be a reliable contributor in the fantasy world.
Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said that starting pitcher Dustin May (back) and reliever Blake Treinen (shoulder) will face live hitters on Wednesday. May isn't a lock for the National League Division Series roster, even if he shows he's healthy this coming week. Treinen is a possibility to be ready in time for the NLDS next week. May went on the injured list on Sept. 24 with lower-back tightness, but it's good news that he's making progress, so he could be an option for the rotation if the Dodgers advance to the Championship Series. The 34-year-old Treinen returned to mound work over the weekend and appears to be ahead of May in his rehab. He could be a big addition to the Dodgers bullpen for the start of the NLDS.

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.
