May plans to return to the Dodgers last summer after surgery on Tommy John Revision after a flexor tendon in mid-2023.

He ordered a salad, took a bite, feeling the lettuce trapped in his throat. May said he knew what was wrong when he tried to wash it with water.

“I’m not a big swingman. A little refrigerated. So I thought, ‘I’m fine. I don’t need to do anything,” he remembers.
May’s wife insisted that they go to the emergency room to “check out”, which was when he had a CT scan. The test showed how severe the tears were, and he was rushed into the surgery.
“If I didn’t, I probably wouldn’t have done this all night,” he said of the procedure, noting that the surgery wasn’t “very common” and that it was definitely an “emergency” situation.
