The Dodgers get a big weapon back today with the return of Dustin May. The lanky right-hander re-joins the rotation 15 months after undergoing season ending Tommy John surgery.
With the return of May, the Dodgers rotation gets a little more full. He joins ace-in-the-wings Julio Urias, All-Stars Tony Gonsolin and Tyler Anderson, as well as veteran lefty Andrew Heaney. Moreover, with Clayton Kershaw sidelined, top pitching prospect Ryan Pepiot has taken a couple turns in the rotation for now. And earlier this week, Dave Roberts said that will remain the case.
The manager said that the team will keep Pepiot in the rotation once May returns which means, you guessed it, the Dodgers will be running with a 6-man rotation for at least a little bit.
