May (elbow) has started throwing off a mound at the Dodgers' team facility in Arizona, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

May has been slowly working his way back from the surgery underwent on his right flexor tendon and UCL in July. The right-hander will progressively increase his workload on the mound before he'll likely throw live batting practice and ultimately go on an extended minor-league rehab assignment. The organization will likely be especially cautious in their approach to May's recovery, and his return to the majors is currently projected to come around the All-Star break.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated last week that May (elbow) is getting close to throwing off a mound, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

May has been rehabbing from the right flexor tendon and UCL reconstruction revision surgery he underwent last July, and advancing to mound work will be a major step in his recovery. The right-hander has had two elbow surgeries in the past three years, so the organization is likely to be conservative in setting a timeline for his eventual return to game action. If his rehab continues to go smoothly, May could be ready to join Los Angeles sometime after the All-Star break, though there's no guarantee that the Dodgers will let him throw in big-league games this season.

The Dodgers placed May (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

May began a throwing program in January, but he isn't expected back until the second half of the season after he underwent surgery on his right flexor tendon and UCL in July. His roster spot will be filled by Ryan Brasier, who officially signed a two-year deal with Los Angeles on Thursday.

May (elbow) began a throwing program Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

May broke the news himself with a post on his Instagram account. The right-hander underwent flexor tendon surgery and a UCL revision last July and will be sidelined at least until the second half of the 2024 campaign. May holds a 3.10 ERA over parts of five seasons in the majors but has had his career sidetracked numerous times by injury.

May agreed to a one-year, $2.135 million deal with the Dodgers on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

May had UCL reconstruction surgery in July of 2023 that was expected to sideline him for a year, so he could potentially return in the second half this season. The 26-year-old righty has a career 3.10 ERA and 1.05 WHIP, but he has made just 34 starts in five seasons due to multiple arm injuries.

May is expected to be sidelined 12 months after undergoing right flexor tendon and UCL reconstruction revision surgery Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reports heading into Wednesday had already suggested that May was getting his flexor tendon repaired, but the UCL revision of his previous Tommy John surgery is new information. With the operation being more invasive than expected, May is expected to be sidelined for a full year, putting his estimated return date roughly around the All-Star break next season.

May will undergo surgery July 18 to repair the flexor tendon in his right elbow.

EDGE Analysis

May landed on the IL on May 18, and the news of his upcoming surgery effectively puts an end to his season. Details regarding May's recovery timeline could become clearer after his procedure, but he will most likely miss a month or two in 2024 as well. The 25-year-old righty finishes the season with a 2.63 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 48 innings across nine starts.

May (forearm) has not resumed throwing and is still rehabbing, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts announced Wednesday that May had resumed throwing, but he walked back those comments one day later. It's been six weeks since May received a PRP injection, though he has yet to make significant progress toward a return to the mound.

May (forearm) played catch Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

May has been on the injured list since May 18 with a right forearm strain, and Wednesday marks the first time he's thrown since then. There is still no plan in place for May to return, but it is certainly a positive sign to see him throwing once again. The 25-year-old righty held a 2.63 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 48 innings across nine starts before getting injured.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that May (forearm) is still weeks away from being cleared to pick up a baseball, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

May suffered a right forearm strain during a start against the Twins on May 17 and was subsequently placed on the 60-day IL. That rules him out until at least mid-July, though it's uncertain if he'll be ready to go then. May received a PRP shot in hopes of avoiding surgery, but Roberts clarified that the team won't have a clear picture of his status for the remainder of the season until he's able to start throwing again.
