Dodgers pitcher Dustin May, who has not played this season, will miss the remainder of the year after undergoing esophageal surgery this week.
Dodgers pitcher Dustin May will not return to the team this season after undergoing esophageal surgery, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. The surgery, first reported by ESPN, came as a shock development for the 26-year-old pitcher, who had yet to pitch for the Dodgers this season after undergoing elbow surgery last year. The Dodgers had been hoping to get May back before the end of the season.
As recently as late June, manager Dave Roberts had called the right-hander’s progress “promising” — seemingly making him a potential late-season addition for a Dodgers pitching staff that has dealt with myriad other injuries this season. However, May tore his esophagus — the muscular tube that passes food from the throat to the stomach — in a non-baseball setting, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
