Dodgers: Dustin May to Undergo Further Concussion Testing
After being struck in the head by a line drive yesterday, Dodgers’ pitcher Dustin May was able to avoid a serious injury.
According to Manager Dave Roberts, May is experiencing some neck soreness but he feels fine overall.
I think [the neck soreness] is more of a byproduct of hitting the ground and kind of being in a mini car accident, but as far as the ball off the glove and off the head, there’s a little bit of residual soreness.
May also passed a concussion test after the game but he will undergo further testing, according to Alanna Rizzo.

It’s one of the best case scenarios for what was a scary moment in the game.
When speaking to the media about it, May said the ball hit his glove before hitting his head, so that helped protect him.
”I’m really kind of upset that I didn’t catch it,” May said. “We’ve just got to look at the positives, that I’m OK.”

The season stat line for Code Red now sits at 1-3 with a 5.11 ERA in 6 games (4 starts). As a starter, however, that ERA drops to 2.82 in 22.1 innings. The next outing for May is expected to be in a relief role again, where he has allowed 7 earned runs in 2.1 IP.
