The anticipated return of Dustin May hasn’t been as spectacular as many had hoped despite showing signs of what he is truly capable of. In just his first start back from Tommy John surgery, he amassed nine strikeouts in five innings of play and allowed zero earned runs in five innings against the Marlins.
Since then, he has gotten 20 more strikeouts but has allowed 15 earned runs in five starts and 25.0 innings pitched. The talent is there for May, but he still needs to get rid of some rust for any significant role come postseason.
