DETROIT — Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Dustin May had esophagus surgery and won't return this season, another setback for him and the team's banged-up pitching staff. May needed the procedure to repair a tear after he experienced discomfort following a dinner earlier in the week, the Dodgers confirmed Sunday. Los Angeles has a short-handed rotation without injured pitchers Clayton Kershaw, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Walker Buehler. The 26-year-old May was on pace to potentially return from elbow surgery he had nearly a year ago after he was 4-1 in nine starts. His 2021 season ended after two months when he had his first elbow surgery.
