The bigger picture for LA's rotation
The timing lands in the middle of an already eventful stretch for the Dodgers' pitching staff. Tyler Glasnow returned from the injured list and made his first start since May against the Braves. Tarik Skubal is slated to face his former team, the Tigers, in Detroit on Friday, and Shohei Ohtani pitching Sunday in Detroit has been listed as a possibility by the club, contingent on a bullpen or live-BP session. Catcher Will Smith has also begun a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
How May's situation affects any of those plans is not yet known.
