May (elbow) struck out eight over five innings Tuesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old built up to 68 pitches (45 strikes) in his fifth rehab start, looking good once again as he makes his return from Tommy John surgery. Through four outings at Triple-A and one in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, May has turned in a 1.69 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB in 16 innings. While the Dodgers weren't expected to immediately have a rotation spot available for May once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, Clayton Kershaw's (back) recent move to the IL and uncertain timeline to return seemingly set up May to rejoin Los Angeles in a starting role. May will likely make one final rehab start for Oklahoma City early next week before potentially coming off the IL for his 2022 Dodgers debut during next weekend's series versus the Marlins.

May (elbow) will require at least two more rehab starts in the minors before being reinstated from the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

May made his third rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday and tossed 62 pitches over four innings. The Dodgers will exercise a cautious approach prior to activating him from the injured list, and he's expected to work four-plus innings during his next start before pitching five innings during the following outing.

EDGE Analysis

May made 46 pitches in his previous rehab outing, so this was a significant increase in workload for him. The right-hander has allowed just two runs while posting a 15:4 K:BB over nine innings across three starts for OKC thus far. He's expected to make one more rehab appearance for the Triple-A club before joining the Dodgers, per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register.

EDGE Analysis

May threw 46 pitches in his last rehab start, so he still has some stamina to build up before being ready for his first big-league appearance of the season. If all goes well in the next couple weeks, May could be activated by the Dodgers at some point in the middle of August.

EDGE Analysis

May threw only 46 pitches, three fewer than his first rehab appearance. However, he added an extra inning of work and also showed improved control. May also topped out at 99.9 mph, so his stuff appears to be trending in the right direction. He's due for at least one more rehab appearance but could return to the Dodgers in early August.

May (elbow) will make a rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday and will require at least one more minor-league appearance afterward, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

May tossed 49 pitches during a rehab start last Friday and will ultimately require at least two more outings prior to rejoining the Dodgers. However, the right-hander will be re-evaluated following next week's appearance, so it's still possible that he'll be activated in early or mid-August.

EDGE Analysis

May was scheduled to go three innings in his first outing with the Triple-A squad, but an elevated pitch count led to his removal after two frames. The fireballer averaged 97.1 mph on his sinker, per Ardaya, but he struggled with his control, throwing only 24 of 49 pitches for strikes. May will likely need at least a few more rehab outings, but he could make his season debut for the Dodgers in early or mid-August.

May (elbow) will throw three innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

May threw two innings in the Arizona Complex League on Saturday and is now ready for the next start in his rehab assignment. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, May will add an additional frame in each additional outing and could join the big-league rotation after he reaches five innings with Oklahoma City. If he stays on schedule, May could return in early August.

May (elbow) still doesn't have a set date to begin a minor-league rehab assignment, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Friday that such a stint will happen "soon," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

May has been tossing live batting-practice sessions since late June and has been said to be "really close" to going on a minor-league rehab assignment since early July, but the right-hander remains without a set date for that to happen. Nonetheless, May hasn't suffered any setbacks in his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last May. He'll likely need a few weeks of game action to ramp back up once the rehab stint begins, so May isn't likely to be back with the Dodgers until at least mid-August.

May (elbow) is close to going on a rehab assignment, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, May has thrown "three or four" live batting-practice sessions and is "really close" to starting a minor-league rehab assignment. The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery last May, so he's within the range of a typical return timeframe following the procedure. Roberts suggested that May would need multiple weeks to build back up once he begins the rehab assignment.
