Dodgers P Dustin May to undergo flexor tendon surgery, likely out for season

The hits keep coming to the Los Angeles Dodgers' pitching depth.

A day after placing Clayton Kershaw on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder soreness, the team announced that fellow starter Dustin May will undergo surgery on his right elbow to repair his flexor tendon. The procedure, performed by surgeon Neal ElAttrache, will almost certainly end May's season.

Dustin May will undergo right elbow surgery to repair the flexor tendon on July 18 in Los Angeles. Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform the procedure.
