Dustin May is set up for another shot at championship hardware, and this time he could deliver it for Milwaukee.
The former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher is scheduled to start for the Brewers on Tuesday night, putting him in line to help close out the Tampa Bay Rays and possibly collect the third World Series ring of his career. Milwaukee is up 3-0 in the series, and Monday night’s 10-1 win pushed the Brewers to the brink.
May already owns two rings from his Dodgers days. He won his first World Series in 2020 as a young pitcher in Los Angeles, and he was also part of the 2025 title run after the Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays in a dramatic Game 7. That came after a 2024 season lost to elbow surgery and a torn esophagus, a year that nearly ended his career.
Now, after that long recovery, May finds himself with a chance to make history again.
“For me, honestly, I’m just going to go and do exactly what I can in the moment and live pitch by pitch … For everything that I’ve been through the last six years, for me, it means more to be here in this moment today knowing two years ago, looking back where I was, I wasn’t really sure if I was ever going to play again,” May said to MLB Network. “So being able to be here in this moment, it truly means the world to me. I couldn’t attribute anything more to the Lord and my wife for letting me be here in this moment, to be here today.”
May isn’t chasing a personal three-peat, but he does have a chance to add another ring to his collection if the Brewers finish the job Tuesday night.

Dodgers Could Be Lurking For Baseballs Next Huge Trade Prize
Junior Caminero has spent the season looking every bit like the kind of young power bat that changes a lineup, and the 23-year-old Rays third baseman has only raised his profile with a strong showing in the 2026 World Series after launching 42 home runs in the regular season. For a Tampa Bay club that has long had to weigh talent against payroll reality, that kind of production puts Caminero squarely in the center of a future decision the Rays may not want to face.
Jorge Castillo reported that Caminero is aiming for a record-setting contract in the neighborhood of the deals signed by Juan Soto or Vladimir Guerrero Jr., a price tag Tampa Bay may not be able to match. If that path eventually opens the door to a trade, the Dodgers would make plenty of sense as a contender with the financial muscle, a deep farm system and the roster flexibility to chase another star-caliber addition.

Dodgers Just Added A Wild Baseball Show Fans Will Circle Now
Dodger Stadium is getting a very different kind of baseball show in April 2027, when the Savannah Bananas and their Banana Ball World Tour come to Los Angeles. The announcement adds another layer to a ballpark that has hosted just about everything over the years, but this one is built around the Banana Ball style that has turned the Bananas into one of the sports most talked-about attractions.
The event will use a lottery system for ticket access, which figures to make the chase almost as notable as the show itself. More details on game times and other event information are still to come, but for Dodgers fans, the date is already one to mark down because this is not the usual night at the ballpark. [Read more 🡒]
Dodgers Face One Crucial Free Agency Call After Costly Misses
Tarik Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner set to hit free agency, still sees the Dodgers as a franchise built to stay at the top even after their sweep in the National League Championship Series. That kind of external belief matters for a team that just watched its season end earlier than expected, especially with the front office already weighing how to retool around a roster that came up short when it counted most.
Brandon Gomes has already acknowledged the uneven regular-season returns from Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz, even as both players made meaningful postseason contributions, which only adds to the sense that Los Angeles has decisions to sort through on the margins as much as the stars. One of those calls centers on left-handed reliever Alex Vesia, who is also headed for free agency and could draw interest elsewhere even if the Dodgers try to keep him on a team-friendly deal.
