The Dodgers made an unexpected move today in sending Dustin May to the 15-day injured list. The initial report is back tightness for the right-hander. In a corresponding move, Andre Jackson has been recalled from Triple-A.
May has made six starts since returning from Tommy John surgery and has had mixed results. In those starts he’s gone 2-3 with a 4.50 ERA with 29 strikeouts over 30 innings pitched. The flamethrower was scheduled to pitch at least one more time this season — on Wednesday in San Diego — but now won’t be eligible to return until the start of the postseason.
