The Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers meet in a critical three-game series at Citizens Bank Park, with the Phillies fighting for a playoff spot and the Brewers chasing the best record in baseball. Zack Wheeler faces Dustin May in the opener, with betting odds favoring Philadelphia despite Milwaukee's recent hot streak.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Dustin May was removed from the game after just one pitch on August 26, 2026, after being struck by a 106 mph line drive from Mets center fielder A.J. Ewing.

Manager Pat Murphy turned to relief pitcher Robert Gasser, who threw 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball, leading the Brewers to an 8-1 victory.
Milwaukee Brewers starter Dustin May left his game against the New York Mets after throwing just one pitch, following a line drive that struck him in the right scapula. The Brewers, who hold the best record in baseball, acquired May from St. Louis at the trade deadline to bolster their rotation for the postseason. May, who has struggled in his first three starts in Milwaukee, described the injury as a bruise with no structural damage. He attempted to return but was pulled by manager Pat Murphy before the second batter. May’s 2026 season has been inconsistent, with a 4.57 ERA across 24 starts, though his FIP suggests better underlying performance. The Brewers traded two minor-league prospects for May and Romero, aiming to secure a reliable fourth starter for October.
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 at American Family Field behind Dustin May’s six innings in his Brewers debut, allowing two runs. Milwaukee jumped ahead on a first-inning homer by Jackson Chourio, the Pirates tied it with a Brice Lowe solo shot in the fourth, and a Gary Sanchez solo homer gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead in the fifth. Turang and Vaughn added RBI hits later to extend the lead, while the Pirates threatened in the ninth but could not mount a comeback.

As the MLB Trade Deadline hits peak pace, Milwaukee lands Dustin May and JoJo Romero from St. Louis for Alexander Frías and Josiah Ragsdale, Pittsburgh acquisitions Luke Weaver for Sammy Stafura, and San Diego picks up Robbie Ray from San Francisco for Miguel Mendez and Joniel Hernandez, with evaluative notes on May’s improved fastball, Romero’s bullpen fit, Weaver’s bullpen value, and the prospects moving between teams.
Milwaukee, after missing out on Tarik Skubal, is acquiring rental starter Dustin May and rental lefty JoJo Romero from the Cardinals for minor-league prospects Alexander Frias and Josiah Ragsdale. May strengthens Milwaukee’s rotation floor with potential postseason value, while Romero adds left-handed relief depth; the swap earns the Brewers a solid, not ceiling-raising upgrade (grade C) and the Cardinals two mid-level prospects as they lean into a longer rebuild (grade B).
Milwaukee acquired starter Dustin May and reliever JoJo Romero from the St. Louis Cardinals, sending prospects to the Cards. May adds back-end rotation depth and innings as Milwaukee eyes a playoff push, while Romero strengthens the bullpen; both rentals are free agents after the season, signaling a push to balance for the stretch run.
The Cardinals are reportedly shopping right-hander Dustin May ahead of the trade deadline, with the Rays and Phillies among clubs that sent scouts to his latest start; May has a 4.38 ERA over 109 innings but strong underlying metrics (FIP ~3.14, xFIP ~3.88, SIERA ~3.95) and a fastball near 97 mph, a profile built on durability after past injuries. St. Louis is also hearing heavy interest in outfielder Lars Nootbaar, who has drawn inquiries from the Phillies, Yankees and others; Nootbaar, 28, is under control at a $5.25M salary in 2026. With the Cardinals 15 games back in the NL Central and in playoff contention wobbling, a deal before Monday’s deadline seems likely for at least one of these players, while teams weigh him as more than a rental given his defense and upside.
After a rough start to 2026, Dustin May revived his season by leaning into a cutter as his primary fastball, reducing four-seam usage and sharpening location. In 11 starts since the shift, he has a 2.63 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and higher strikeout rate, aided by reviving his curveball as a complementary weapon, with coaching discussions emphasizing optimal usage and pitch sequencing to unlock his performance with the Cardinals.

May's injury, which showed no structural damage, is being managed carefully with a focus on a potential playoff return.
