Dodgers' Dustin May: Avoids arbitration
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Dustin May (elbow, throat) avoided arbitration Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $2.135 million contract, the Associated Press reports.May -- who had been arbitration-eligible for the final time -- missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from UCL and flexor surgery and later had another operation to repair an esophageal tear. The 27-year-old made a total of just 20 starts from 2021-23 due to injury.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Has season-ending throat surgery
Dustin May (elbow) underwent a season-ending surgery to repair a torn esophagus, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.May has been rehabbing from a procedure he had in July 2023 to repair a torn flexor tendon in his throwing arm and was expected to begin a rehab assignment in the coming weeks. However, he'll have to wait until 2025 to return and will be shut down from physical activity for at least two months as result of the throat procedure. The injury occurred in a non-baseball setting. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been dealing with a handful of injuries to their top starters this season, and May's return was expected to ease some of those struggles. For now, James Paxton and Gavin Stone will serve as the Dodgers' top two starters while Tyler Glasnow (back) and Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) are expected to rejoin the rotation in late July or early August.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Topping 90 mph in bullpen sessions
Dustin May (elbow) has been throwing at the Los Angeles Dodgers' complex in Arizona and has topped 90 mph on his fastball, per the Associated Press.May continues to recover from the surgery he underwent on his right flexor tendon and UCL last July. He began throwing off a mound in mid-May, and based on the recent update about his velocity, appears to be progressing well. When healthy, May's fastball typically rests in the upper-90s, so he still has a way to go before returning to his full velocity. That said, there's a chance he could be ready to return to the Dodgers in the latter half of July if he continues to progress without any setbacks.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Nearing mound work
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated last week that Dustin May (elbow) is getting close to throwing off a mound, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.May has been rehabbing from the right flexor tendon and UCL reconstruction revision surgery he underwent last July, and advancing to mound work will be a major step in his recovery. The right-hander has had two elbow surgeries in the past three years, so the organization is likely to be conservative in setting a timeline for his eventual return to game action. If his rehab continues to go smoothly, May could be ready to join Los Angeles sometime after the All-Star break, though there's no guarantee that the Dodgers will let him throw in big-league games this season.
