Last year was expected to be a turning point for Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Dustin May.
After undergoing flexor tendon surgery and a Tommy John revision, he had been recovering steadily since midway through 2023. By early July, he was just a week away from starting a minor-league rehab assignment and only a month from returning to the Dodgers’ roster.
But then, an unexpected setback occurred — one that came from something as simple as a bite of salad and then arguing about getting in the ambulance.
May and his wife, Millie, opened up on his near-death experience with Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register.
