Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Dustin May, who has returned from injury, will mark the 2025 season as the fifth starter.
USA Today Sports' Bob Nightingale reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time), "Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin will start the season on the injured list (IL), and May will be the fifth starter."
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts appeared on the podcast "Dodgers Terry" the previous day and explained the current situation, saying, "Gonsolin recently injured his back during weight training." The Dodgers, which have already confirmed four starters including Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Rocky Sasaki and Blake Snell, agonized over the fifth starter, and the Dodgers' competition for the fifth starter came to an end as Gonsolin left due to injury.
May, who was born in 1997, was a third-round pick by the Dodgers in the 2016 MLB Rookie Draft. Since his debut in the big league in 2019, he has played in 46 games (34 starts) and marked 12 wins, 9 losses and 5 holds with an ERA of 3.10 in 191 ⅔ innings. He has displayed strong pitching capability and contributed to winning the World Series in 2020.
However, May suffered from injuries every year. She had Tommy John surgery for ligament joint surgery in her elbow as she complained of pain in her right elbow at the beginning of the 2021 season, and left the hospital in September 2022 due to a back injury. Due to an elbow injury, she was put on the operating table during the season in 2023.
The most embarrassing moment for May was mid-July last year. It has been reported that May, who was undergoing rehabilitation, was out for the season after undergoing surgery to repair her esophagus. "May felt sudden pain in her esophagus and stomach during dinner, and she complained of pain even after returning home," the Dodgers announced at the time. "May successfully completed her esophageal surgery after contacting medical staff, and will not return this season."
As it turned out, May suffered a torn esophagus while eating lettuce. According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, a local media outlet in Los Angeles that reported May's interview in the middle of last month, May had to perform emergency surgery as she was diagnosed with a ruptured esophagus while trying to eat salad.
May overcame the crisis by undergoing surgery quickly, but had to postpone her return to the team. As such, she felt a great sense of loss. Nevertheless, she calmly prepared for the 2025 season, and made three starts at exhibition games of the spring camp, posting one win and an ERA of 5.40 in five innings. 먹튀검증
"May had surgery on his right elbow flexor in 2023 and had to perform emergency surgery last summer due to a ruptured esophagus," said "MLB Trade Rumors (MLBTR), which reports on the Major League transfer market. May's 2025 season will be her first big league appearance in about two years."
Meanwhile, the Dodgers has decided to field Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Rocky Sasaki as starters in the first and second rounds, respectively, at the Tokyo Series, the two consecutive regular-season opening games against the 2025 MLB Chicago Cubs, which will take place at Tokyo Dome in Japan from July 18 to 19. Roberts, who met with local reporters on Wednesday, expressed expectations for Yamamoto and Sasaki, saying that it would be "very interesting."
