May (2-3) took the loss against Arizona on Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

May looked brilliant in pitching five hitless innings his last time out, but the momentum didn't carry over to Wednesday. The right-hander fell behind in the first frame and let the game get away from him when he gave up three runs in the fourth. It was the second time in his six outings this season that May has given up five or more runs, though he's also allowed one or zero runs three times in that span. All told, he's posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHP and 29:14 K:BB over 30 innings. May may need to show more consistency in his final few outings to earn a spot in the Dodgers' playoff rotation.

May (2-2) earned the win Friday, allowing just one walk across five no-hit shutout innings versus the Giants. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

May hadn't won a start since his season debut Aug. 20. He turned things around in a big way Friday, though the Dodgers exercised caution by pulling him at 69 pitches (40 strikes). Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reported May was dealing with some arm soreness after his previous start Sept. 10, which may explain manager Dave Roberts' approach Friday. May now has a 3.46 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB through 26 innings across five starts since returning from Tommy John surgery. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Diamondbacks next week.

May registered a no-decision during Friday's 5-4 loss to San Diego, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

The bulk of the damage against May came on a Trent Grisham three-run home run in the second inning, though he also surrendered multiple baserunners in the third and fifth. The 25-year-old struggled with his control for a second-straight start, issuing three walks while tossing only 47 of 82 pitches for strikes. After two excellent starts against Miami coming off the IL, May has struggled against San Diego in his two most recent turns and sports a 4.29 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 21 strikeouts across 21 innings. He's slated to toe the rubber again midweek in Arizona.

May (1-2) took the loss Friday, allowing six runs on four hits and five walks over five innings against the Padres. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

After a couple of gems to start his season following his return from Tommy John surgery, May took a step backward Friday, with a pair of two-run homers allowed putting the Dodgers in an early hole. May, who turns 25 in a few days, now has a 4.50 ERA this season and a 3.12 ERA for his career at the major-league level. With his impressive fastball velocity and high-spin breaking ball, May has serious strikeout upside whenever he takes the mound for Los Angeles, though it's clear his command isn't all the way back.

May (1-1) took the loss against Miami on Saturday, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four batters.

EDGE Analysis

May wasn't as dominant as in his season debut one week ago, when he struck out nine batters over five scoreless, one-hit innings. Nonetheless, he looked good again Saturday, throwing 56 of 86 pitches for strikes and holding the Marlins without an extra-base hit. Two of the five base knocks against him were infield singles in the sixth inning, which proved to be the decisive frame. May has made two starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, and he's allowed just two runs over 11 innings while posting a 13:3 K:BB.

May (1-0) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, allowing one hit and walking two batters while notching nine strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers couldn't have asked for much more from May in his first big-league outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery last May. The right-hander was a bit shaky in the first inning, allowing a leadoff single and a pair of walks. However, he struck out the other three batters he faced in the frame and went on to retire all 12 hitters who stepped up to the plate against him during the remainder of his outing. May neared triple-digits on his four-seamer, per Sarah Wexler of MLB.com, and induced 13 swinging strikes among his 71 pitches. With Walker Buehler (elbow) out for the season and Clayton Kershaw (back) on the 15-day IL, May's return and ability to ramp up over the remainder of the regular season could be critical in the Dodgers' quest to return to the World Series.

May (elbow) was activated ahead of his start Saturday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The runway is clear for May to be in the Dodgers' rotation for the rest of the regular season. He logged a 1.71 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 36:6 K:BB in 21 innings across six rehab outings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that May (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Marlins in Los Angeles, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the same day the Dodgers announced that Walker Buehler (elbow) would require season-ending surgery, the team at least got some welcome news in the form of May's impending return from the IL. May, who has been on the shelf all season while recovering from May 2021 Tommy John surgery, will presumably take over the spot in the rotation presently being filled by Ryan Pepiot, who was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City when Clayton Kershaw (back) went on the IL. May wrapped up a dominant six-start rehab assignment in the minors with a five-inning, 10-strikeout performance Sunday at Triple-A. He built up to 70 pitches in that outing, so the Dodgers may be inclined to keep him in the 80-to-90 range when he takes the hill Sunday for his 2022 MLB debut.

May (elbow) will return from the injured list to start Aug. 20 against the Marlins, according to May's agent, Craig Rose.

EDGE Analysis

May is set to make his final rehab start Sunday, so there was a general idea of when he would be activated and start in the majors. He threw five innings and 68 pitches in his most recent rehab outing, so while the team is likely to be cautious, May probably won't have an extremely restrictive pitch count for his season debut with the Dodgers.

May (elbow) will make one final rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday before entering the Dodgers' starting rotation, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

May logged his fifth rehab outing Tuesday and threw 68 pitches with eight strikeouts across five innings, and he'll continue building up his workload Sunday before returning to the major-league club. Assuming he avoids any setbacks, the 24-year-old lines up to make his season debut the following weekend against the Marlins.
