Is there a proper/beter way to write a serial comma separated list of dates? It feels like I shouldn't be mixing date commas with the serial commas

For example, consider the following sentence:

The company mentioned the project in press releases dated September 13, 2020, May 21, 2022, and June 8, 2022.

Is that the correct way to write it? It feels awkward to mix the "date commas" with the serial commas; even if everyone knows the May 21 comma is internal to that date, it still looks weird to me.
