Dustin May News
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May (elbow) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Saturday. The bullpen was described as an up-down session, meaning May threw some pitches, then sat, then threw more, to simulate a game-like scenario. The 24-year-old is getting closer to a return after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May of 2021,, but still has some obstacles to clear. The next step is to throw against hitters, which will require four outings. After that, he is likely to start a rehab assignment. He is unlikely to be back before August, and even that may be pushing it. Still, May makes for a good IL stash if you have the room, as he has a ton of upside.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Dustin May (elbow) threw his first bullpen session of the spring on Saturday after having Tommy John surgery last May. May appears to be right on track, but the 24-year-old right-hander still probably won't make his 2022 season debut until the second half of the year, making him useless in most fantasy leagues. It also remains to be seen if the Dodgers will use him in a starting or relief role upon his return, and the smart money says he'll be a bullpen arm down the stretch for the Dodgers. When healthy, May has flashed tremendous upside, posting a 2.93 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 111 strikeouts and 27 walks in 113 2/3 innings over 31 outings (19 starts) in his three seasons with the Dodgers.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Dustin May (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery last May and he is still working his way back from the surgery. According to Dodgers beat writer Bill Plunkett, we should expect to see May back with the Dodgers at some point later in the 2022 season. The 24-year-old only made five starts last year before his season was cut short. He was fantastic over those five starts, posting a 2.74 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP while averaging 13.7 K/9. In deep leagues, he may be worth a late round pick, but he should go undrafted in more shallow leagues. It's hard to know exactly when to expect him back and what his role will be upon his return.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Dustin May has posted really strong ratios in his 90 innings with the Dodgers, which include a 2.98 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. He is one of the hardest throwers in the game, consistently reaching triple digits with his sinker although he's not the strikeout machine you might be expecting. He rounds out his arsenal with a cutter and a curveball, but he is mainly a sinker-baller, throwing the pitch 51% of the time in 2020. This explains the low strikeout rate (career 20.8%), as the sinker is the most contact-prone pitch in the game. Since he has had so much success doing what he does best, he is unlikely to change anything, which will likely lead to more uninspiring strikeout rates. You should be willing to deal with the low strikeouts as long as he maintains strong ratios, which seems like a great bet given how awesome his sinker is. May will never be an SP1 in fantasy, but he is a really great bet to help your pitching staff and he comes pretty cheap as fantasy managers tune their preferences to sexier strikeout totals. With that said, he could end up in a hybrid starter/reliever role if he's outperformed for a standard starter's gig by the likes of Julio Urias and/or Tony Gonsolin.
