May (1-4) took the loss Friday versus the Angels, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over five innings.
The eight strikeouts were a season high for the right-hander, giving him a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster outing. This was May's third straight loss, and he's allowed 10 runs over 17.1 innings in that span, despite a strong 19:5 K:BB. May is at a 4.43 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 41:17 K:BB across 44.2 innings through eight starts this season. Assuming the Dodgers stick with a six-man rotation next week, he's projected for a road start versus the Mets, though May could be bumped up to start at home versus the Diamondbacks if Matt Sauer or Landon Knack gets moved to the bullpen.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Quality start in loss
Rotowire
May (1-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.
May earned his third quality start of the season with his longest outing in 2025, but he didn't get any run support. The Dodgers managed just seven baserunners in the contest and couldn't scrape together a run, leaving May to take his second loss in a row. He's allowed 16 runs over 22.2 innings across his last four outings to spoil a strong start to the campaign. Overall, the right-hander has a 4.08 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB across 39.2 innings through seven starts. May's start next week will be at home, either against the Athletics or the Angels, depending on how the Dodgers align their rotation after Roki Sasaki struggled Friday in his first taste of pitching on five days' rest.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Tagged for two homers in loss
Rotowire
May (1-2) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus Atlanta.
Four of the seven baserunners May allowed led to trouble, as he twice put Alex Verdugo aboard before Austin Riley homered in the first and third innings. The long ball hasn't typically been a problem for May this year -- he had allowed just one homer over his first five starts. He's now at a 4.36 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB across 33 innings. His 3.8 BB/9 is a bit elevated, and he's walked multiple batters in five of six starts, so that's an area he'll need to improve in to find more success. May is projected for a road start in Arizona in his next trip to the mound.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Falters late in no-decision
Rotowire
May allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters in 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Monday.
May appeared to be en route to a win after completing five scoreless innings, but things took a turn for the worse for him in the sixth. In that frame, the right-hander allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base, and they all came around to score before the inning was over (though two of the runs charged to May crossed the plate following his departure). This was still a better performance for May after he gave up a career-worst seven runs over five innings against the Cubs in his previous trip to the mound, but over his past two contests, May's ERA has jumped from a sparkling 1.06 to a less-impressive 3.95.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Gives up career-high seven runs
Rotowire
May didn't factor into the decision against the Cubs on Tuesday after allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five.
On top of facing a Cubs offense that entered the day leading the majors in runs scored, May also had to deal with the wind blowing out a bit to center field. After giving up one run or less on three hits or fewer in each of his first three starts this season, May allowed a career-worst seven runs and 10 hits Tuesday. Better days are ahead for the 27-year-old right-hander, who'll take a solid 3.68 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB over 22 innings into a much more favorable situation at home against Miami in his next scheduled start.
Dodgers' Dustin May: Fans seven in first win since 2023
Rotowire
May (1-1) earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.
May cruised through five scoreless frames before giving up a run in the sixth. That proved to be the right-hander's final frame, though he may have been able to go deeper given that he threw just 76 pitches (52 of which were strikes). May racked up 14 whiffs among those offerings, six of which came on his sweeper. May's victory Monday was his first of the season and his first in the big leagues since 2023. He's been very impressive to begin the campaign, posting a 1.06 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB through 17 innings.
May (0-1) took the loss Monday at Washington, allowing three runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out one.
The Los Angeles right-hander picked up his first quality start since May 12, 2023 in this 86-pitch outing. May averaged 95.0 mph on his fastball but did struggle to miss bats, generating just two whiffs. The 27-year-old's season is off to a solid start after he missed all of 2024, as he sports a 0.82 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 7:6 K:BB across 11 innings. May should continue to stick in the Dodgers' rotation, especially since Blake Snell (shoulder) hit the injured list on Sunday.
Dodgers' Dustin May: Effective in first start since 2023
Rotowire
May didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing one unearned run on a hit and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.
The right-hander surrendered a run during the second inning on a single, a walk and an error but otherwise kept Atlanta off the board. May understandably showed a bit of rust in his first big-league start since May of 2023 as he threw just 46 of 81 pitches for strikes, but his stuff looked on point as he generated 11 whiffs. The 27-year-old will continue to work as Los Angeles' No. 6 starter and could have some fantasy utility, assuming he can stay healthy.
