DETROIT —
Dodgers pitcher Dustin May will not return to the team this season after undergoing esophageal surgery, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.
The surgery, first reported by ESPN, came as a shock development for the 26-year-old pitcher, who had yet to pitch for the Dodgers this season after undergoing elbow surgery last year.
The Dodgers had been hoping to get May back before the end of the season. He had been throwing bullpen sessions at the club’s complex in Arizona since May.
