Dodgers suffer ‘significant loss’ with Dustin May out for remainder of 2021

LA Times  

Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May throws against the San Diego Padres on April 25. “When you’re developing and now you get the year cut short, that impacts development,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “That’s a significant loss for us,” third baseman Justin Turner said before the Dodgers announced May’s impending surgery. Just feel terrible for Dustin.” May’s misfortune is the fourth significant injury for the Dodgers’ pitching staff in the last 10 days. But Monday’s postponement created a seven-inning split doubleheader Tuesday and the need for a fifth starter by the end of the week unless the Dodgers choose to stage another bullpen game or have a starter pitch on short rest.
