Overview

• The Dodgers formally listed right-hander Dustin May as a potential trade chip ahead of next week’s non-waiver deadline.
• Blake Snell’s imminent return, combined with Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow nearing full health, has restored the Dodgers’ rotation depth.
• Tanner Scott’s recent elbow inflammation landed him on the injured list and intensified Los Angeles’s need for bullpen reinforcements.
• May’s 6–6 record, 4.73 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 99 innings in 2025, along with his impending free agency, enhance his appeal as a rental arm.
• A trade would continue the Dodgers’ recent practice of dealing starters at the deadline and force a decision on converting May into a bulk reliever or trading him outright.
