PHOENIX — Los Angeles Dodgers rookie pitcher Dustin May left Sunday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks after being hit on the right side of the head by a line drive.
The 21-year-old May was down for a few minutes before sitting up and eventually walking off the field. The liner by Jake Lamb ricocheted off May’s head and into left field for a single that scored two runs.
The 6-foot-6 May is one of the Dodgers’ top pitching prospects and was called up earlier this year. He had a 1-3 record with a 4.07 ERA going into Sunday’s game.
May was charged with three runs and four hits in one-third of an inning Sunday.
