The Dodgers transferred May (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
May landed on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a right flexor pronator strain, and his move to the 60-day IL ensures he will be out through the All-Star break. Bobby Miller was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill May's spot on the active roster.
The Dodgers placed May on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right flexor pronator strain.
May suffered the forearm strain in the first inning of his start Wednesday against the Twins and is expected to miss at least a full month. He's going to try platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment in an effort to avoid surgery and expedite the healing process. Gavin Stone seems like the best bet to fill May's spot in the Dodgers' rotation, though Michael Grove (groin) could eventually be an option.
May left Wednesday's start against the Twins with right elbow pain, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. He struck out two batters over one scoreless inning before exiting.
May threw just 16 pitches and sported a fastball that sat around 93-to-95 miles per hour -- a few ticks below his season average -- before he was replaced by Dylan Covey in the second frame. The Dodgers are labeling May as day-to-day for the time being, but he'll presumably be put through tests in the next day or two as the team looks to get a read on the extent of the injury. Given that May missed most of the 2021 and 2022 seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery on the elbow, he's most likely be headed for the injured list. Assuming May does miss time, Gavin Stone could be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace May in the rotation.
May (elbow) will receive a PRP injection in an effort to avoid surgery, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
If all goes according to plan, this puts May in line to return within 4-to-6 weeks. A move to the 15-day injured list is inevitable, and his absence opens up the door for Gavin Stone to potentially rejoin the Dodgers' rotation from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Diagnosed with flexor strain
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's game that May has been diagnosed with a right flexor pronator strain, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
May showed a dip in velocity in the first inning of his start Wednesday afternoon against the Twins and was ultimately pulled after throwing just 16 pitches. He will be placed on the 15-day injured list, though Roberts declined to guess on an overall timetable other than acknowledging it would be more than a month. It's not yet known whether his UCL has been impacted -- early signs are good in that regard but further imaging scans are coming. May, one of the brightest young starters in the sport, required Tommy John surgery back in May 2021.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Exits after one inning
Rotowire
May left Wednesday's start against the Twins after one inning, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
May threw 16 pitches before leaving, with Dylan Covey taking over in the second inning. May should be considered day-to-day until an update from the Dodgers is given as to why the right-hander exited.
May did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out three.
May now ranks eighth in MLB with a 0.94 WHIP. The right-hander has gone four straight starts allowing two runs or fewer. The 25-year-old is solidifying himself among the most dependable options in the league heading his next start, tentatively lined up to come against the Twins.
