Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Stellar in latest rehab outing
Tony Gonsolin (elbow) allowed just one walk over three innings while striking out six in his rehab outing Saturday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.Making his third rehab start, Gonsolin delivered his best outing yet, racking up as many strikeouts as he had across his first two appearances with Oklahoma City. The 30-year-old right-hander is nearing the finish line in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he appears poised to return from the 60-day injured list in the final week of the season and rejoin the Los Angeles Dodgers in some capacity. Since he tossed just 45 pitches Saturday, Gonsolin isn't stretched out for a traditional starting role, so an assignment to the bullpen could be more likely once he's activated.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Another rehab outing on tap
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Tony Gonsolin (elbow) will make another rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.The right-hander has two rehab outings under his belt with Oklahoma City, and he allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over 2.2 innings during the most recent appearance Sunday. Los Angeles is in need of rotation help, but that doesn't necessarily mean Gonsolin will start once he completes his rehab program from last September's Tommy John surgery. There's also no guarantee the 30-year-old is included on the playoff roster.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Beginning rehab assignment
Tony Gonsolin (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.It will be the right-hander's first game action since he underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2023. A return for Gonsolin before the end of the season has not been ruled out, but if it happens, he would be used in a relief role. The 30-year-old posted a 4.98 ERA over 20 starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2023 prior to surgery.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Could return this season
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said this week that the door is "slightly open" for Tony Gonsolin (elbow) to pitch before the end of the season, per MLB.com.Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery Sept. 1 of last year, so he's almost one year removed from the procedure. The right-hander pitched three live batting-practice sessions earlier in August, during which his fastball sat at 92-to-94 mph -- the same range as his velocity prior to his injury. Gonsolin recently said he's optimistic about his ability to pitch in game action before the end of this season, though Roberts was more conservative in his assessment. If Gonsoin does make it back to the big club, he'll work out of the bullpen.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Placed on 60-day IL
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Tony Gonsolin (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Clayton Kershaw (shoulder). Kershaw, of course, will soon go on the 60-day IL himself, creating another spot. Gonsolin will miss the 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Set for Tommy John surgery
Tony Gonsolin (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.Gonsolin was ruled out for the rest of the 2023 campaign after being moved to the 60-day injured list Sunday, but news of Tommy John surgery likely means he'll miss most, if not the entirety of 2024. This is more disappointing news for the right-hander, who will finish the year with a 4.98 ERA over 103 frames after posting a 2.14 ERA across 130.1 innings a season ago.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred Tony Gonsolin (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver-wire pickup Tyson Miller, but more significantly, it officially closes the door on Gonsolin pitching again in 2023, barring the Dodgers making a deep postseason run. Even if the Dodgers advance to the National League Championship Series or the World Series, Gonsolin is still unlikely to pitch again, given that he could require surgery to address his right elbow injury. Gonsolin recently underwent an MRI, and the Dodgers will await the results before making a decision regarding surgery. If a procedure is deemed necessary, Gonsolin's absence could stretch into the 2024 season.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Likely done for season
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Tony Gonsolin on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right forearm inflammation, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.After officially announcing Gonsolin's move to the injured list, manager Dave Roberts stated that it is unlikely Gonsolin pitches again this season, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports. The 29-year-old righty will get an MRI on his elbow next week, at which point the team will have a better idea of whether Gonsolin will be shut down for the year. Bryan Hudson was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
