Dodgers: Dustin May Likely to Return as a Reliever, According to LA Analyst

The Dodgers have a lot of questions when it comes to their pitching staff. Dustin May’s recovery from Tommy John surgery is one of the big ones.

May underwent season-ending Tommy John in the spring after damaging his UCL in a May 1st start in Milwaukee.

There’s plenty of speculation about when the powerful righty will be able to pitch again for the Dodgers. Once May does return in 2022, one insider believes it will not be as a starter.

Dodgers reporter David Vassegh gave an educated guess for both May’s return date and what his role will be once he’s back on the mound.
