Last season, Dodgers pitcher Dustin May returned from Tommy John surgery and made six starts. The first two, both against the Marlins, were outstanding. The next two, both against the Padres, were significantly less outstanding. He capped his season with a good start against the Giants and a bad start against the Diamondbacks, then went back on the injured list with a lower back issue.
May was healthy enough to be on the NLDS roster, but he didn’t pitch in the series. Over the offseason, in addition to getting married, he worked hard to get fully healthy and put himself in position to have a successful 2023 season, as he told SportsNetLA’s Kirsten Watson after his first bullpen session since reporting to spring training at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona.
