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.
