Dodgers pitcher Dustin May, out with a lower-back issue, won’t return from the injured list during the regular season, but the team remains hopeful he’ll be ready for the National League Division Series when it kicks off on October 11.
May is working towards that goal, and Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts gave an update on the big righty’s progress during his media scrum prior to Friday’s game with the Rockies.
The way this situation is playing out is unlike a regular-season IL stint, where the goal is always a vague “get back as soon as possible” kind of thing.
