MLB CT scan does not find a fracture in May’s foot

BY JORGE CASTILLO Los Angeles Times

The Dodgers left Arizona on Thursday unsure if Dustin May would pitch again this season. May exited that night’s game after one inning after taking a comebacker off his left foot. Initial X-rays were inconclusive. Further testing was necessary and revealed that the Dodgers avoided the worst-case scena- rio. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that a CT scan did not show a fracture in May’s foot. They’re treating the injury as a “contusion” and May as “day-to-day.” Roberts said the team hasn’t decided if May will be placed on the injured list. “One part of it is per his toler- ance, how he feels,” Roberts said. “But, also, you don’t want to compromise the delivery, STEVE HELBER AP which would obviously put the Brad Keselowski celebrates in Victory Lane after winning Saturday night’s NASCAR Cup Series race in Richmond, Va. arm at risk in some capacity.
