Dustin May's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Dustin May (elbow) started throwing off a mound at the team's spring training facilities on Monday in Arizona. May is slowly recovering from surgery that he had last July to fix his right flexor tendon and UCL. The 26-year-old is expected to pitch in 2024, but that's not likely to come until sometime this summer around the All-Star break in mid-July. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues shouldn't expect a whole lot from him this year, especially since the Dodgers aren't going to put too much on his plate once he is available at the big-league level. The former third-rounder's strikeout rate of 22.5% has left a lot to be desired when considering his pure stuff, but overall, May has looked good in his five years in LA, going 12-9 with a 3.10 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 57 walks and 174 K's in 191 2/3 frames over 46 outings (34 starts).

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.
