Dustin May could be out six weeks after sustaining a flexor pronator strain in Dodgers' 7-3 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.
Clayton Kershaw, pitching days after the death of his mother, struggles, and the flat Dodgers offense doesn’t provide support in a 5-1 loss to the Twins.May, who returned from surgery last August and was off to a superb start this season, going 4-1 with a 2.68 ERA in his first eight starts, will receive a platelet-rich plasma injection, and he could be out until early July. But he should be able to pitch again this season.
May gave up one hit in a scoreless first inning, striking out Joey Gallo with a 96-mph fastball and Carlos Correa with a 95-mph fastball, but the average velocity of his sinking fastball and four-seam fastball was down by 2 mph from their season averages of 96.7 mph and 97.4 mph, respectively. James Outman celebrates in the dugout after his grand slam in the seventh inning gave the Dodgers a 7-3 lead against the Minnesota Twins.
May, 25, had looked so good that Roberts said it was “fair” to compare his start to Walker Buehler’s breakout year in 2018, when the then-23-year-old right-hander went 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA in 24 games.
