Dodgers Transfer Dustin May To 60-Day Injured List

By Darragh McDonald | May 23, 2023 at 5:40pm CDT

The Dodgers announced that they have officially selected the contract of pitching prospect Bobby Miller, whose imminent promotion was reported a couple of days ago. Right-hander Tyler Cyr was placed on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder impingement, retroactive to May 21, opening a spot for Miller on the active roster. To make room on the 40-man, righty Dustin May was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

May, 25, left his start on May 17 after throwing just one inning. His injury was later announced as a flexor pronator strain that would keep him out of action for four to six weeks and he was placed on the 15-day injured list the next day. This transfer will extend that timeline slightly, as he now will be ineligible to return until the middle of July. Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports that May won’t pick up a baseball for six weeks, after which he’ll be re-evaluated and a plan for the next steps will be formulated.

There will still be time later in the year for May to finish strong but 2023 is going to go down as yet another truncated campaign for the talented righty. He’s appeared in each of the five most recent major league seasons but has yet to log even 60 innings in any individual year. He came up part way through 2019 then the 2020 season was shortened by the pandemic. He lasted just five starts in 2021 before Tommy John surgery put him out of action, with May eventually returning to make six starts late in 2022. He was on track for a full and healthy season here in 2023 but is now on the IL again after taking the ball nine times.

Amid all of those frustrations, he has shown his talent with his results. He has a 3.10 ERA in 191 2/3 innings to this point in his career, striking out 22.5% of batters while walking 7.4% and getting grounders at a 49.9% clip. Unfortunately, as mentioned, that has been scattered across five different seasons due to various factors.

The Dodgers will now have to proceed without May for the next couple of months, which isn’t their only rotation challenge. Julio Urías recently landed on the injured list as well, joining depth starters Michael Grove and Ryan Pepiot. They are also without Clayton Kershaw for the moment, though he is on the bereavement list and could return shortly. There’s also Tony Gonsolin, Noah Syndergaard, Gavin Stone and now Miller jumping into the fray.

Miller has a 100 mph fastball and is generally considered one of the better prospects in baseball, though he’s off to a rough start here in 2023. He has a 5.65 ERA through four Triple-A starts but had a much better 3.38 ERA in his four starts at that level last year. Both Urías and Grove seem like they will be able to return in the near future, which will improve the club’s depth and give them some decisions to make about who stays and who goes.

    It’s a bit frustrating, because I have him in fantasy baseball, but it’s feeling kinda pointless now

      Sorry about your fantasy team. That must be tough. Next man up has to be the mentality of the other pitchers on your roster.

      The two worst players in the entire league play on the Dodgers, somehow. Between Thompson and Barnes, their bench is painfully short.

      One of the most mammoth Homeruns I have seen was a homerun Trayce hit against the Rays at the Trop.

      I think they should send Trayce down to let him play everyday so he can get a few hits and try and get him some confidence.

      For those not in the know, Carrot Top plays in LV.

      For the younger generation, Carrot Top is a comedian, but think everyone knows him here from his 890-Call-ATT commercials.

    Six weeks would’ve put him right before the All Star break. I’m not surprised they are giving him extra time.

    They’d need to limit his innings anyway. So now perhaps he can pitch on regular rest and with regular pitch counts from August on.

      The 60 day designation is iffy territory. They better hope Miller steps up cause they need to plan as if May will be out longer.

      Mid August is likely the soonest he is going to return anyway.

    May’s 5 seasons equal 1 full season workload. Hopefully he can get healthy.

      Bit over the top

      This year always had a young lean to it

      Like it or not your going to get a whole lot of Stone Miller Pepiot and Grove

      I personally Love It and have found this year to be the most exciting year of any in the past decade

    “May, 25, left his start on May 17”

    Trivia:
    Carlos May wore his name and the number 17, on the back of his Chisox uniform, thus being the only MLB player ever to wear his birthday on his uniform.

    Bobby Miller looked excellent in his first start. Excited to see the young guys play as the Dodgers battle their various injuries.

      They really are going youth. We have Bunyan now. With Outman playing center, I hope him and Betts don’t collide. That’s right there would be a mess. I would put Mookie back at short. Outman can bunt and get a double, pitching is there biggest issue.

      Miller did look excellent tonight, but I’ll take Trevor’s looks over his. And if I had to pick one I’d pick Trevor because I could always have him sheared for some side cash if he’s not producing.
