On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, a look at what's next after Dustin May injured his elbow in a start on Wednesday. The Dodgers right-hander is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
May suffered a flexor pronator strain in his right elbow, and is expected to receive a platelet-rich plasma injection, per multiple reports. Wednesday was his 15th start since returning from Tommy John surgery.
Gavin Stone seems likely to replace May in the short-term, but there's more to deal with on the Dodgers pitching staff.
Noah Syndergaard is dealing with a blister on his right index finger, and hasn't pitched well enough or deep enough into games. The Dodgers bullpen was unusually taxed this week, throwing 21 innings in three games against the Twins, with several relievers pushed to their limits. We discuss the roster fallout on this podcast.
Plus, an update on Walker Buehler, who aims to return from his own Tommy John surgery by starting in September, just over a year after his procedure. That timetable was deemed aggressive, but Buehler also talked about his rehab and the nature of his surgery.
