Dustin May Avoids Injured List After Positive Ankle Evaluation

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dustin May will avoid a stint on the injured list for now after reporting that his right ankle felt better than expected during a Friday evaluation. Both May and manager Oliver Marmol expressed optimism regarding his recovery progress. While the team continues to monitor the situation closely, the decision to keep him off the IL prior to Friday's game against the Cubs provides a significant boost to the Cardinals' pitching staff depth.
