The Dodgers had yet another stunning injury, which is another piece of awful news.
Pitcher Dustin May will miss the rest of the season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have announced, due to esophageal surgery.
Discussion is sparked by Shohei Ohtani’s contentious gesture during the Phillies game.
Dustin May has struggled to maintain his health.
During dinner on Wednesday, the 26-year-old right-hander suddenly felt pain in his stomach and esophagus.
He continued to experience agony, so the next day he went to the doctor.
Although the procedure was considered successful, May will not be going back to the mound this season.
May’s career has been beset by a string of injuries, which this most recent setback exacerbates.
He was out this season due to recuperating from surgery for a right flexor strain and a UCL sprain. He last pitched for the Dodgers in May 2023.
in July of last year, which involved his throwing arm.
Before the esophageal problem, May had started tossing two months prior and was getting ready for a rehab assignment.
May recently sustained an injury that wasn’t foreseen and needed immediate medical attention.
The Dodgers had high hopes that his comeback would strengthen their already damaged pitching staff, which now has Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Walker Buehler, Clayton Kershaw, Emmet Sheehan, Brusdar Graterol, Joe Kelly, and Ryan Brasier among other important players on the injured list.
In addition, Shohei Ohtani is not pitching this season due to reconstructive elbow surgery, Bobby Miller, a great rookie, was just moved to Triple-A, and Tyler Glasnow is anticipated to return soon.
May, who is renowned for his varied pitching repertoire and fastball that can approach 100 mph, was anticipated to be a pillar of the Dodgers’ lineup.
During the 2020 season, which was cut short by COVID, he demonstrated all of his talent.
Nevertheless, a lower back injury that kept him out of six games in 2022 and Tommy John surgery in May 2021 have tarnished his career.
