Gonsolin (elbow) struck out three and allowed no hits and one walk over three shutout innings Wednesday in a rehab start with Triple-A Omaha.
Making his organizational debut after signing with the Royals on Aug. 13, Gonsolin turned in an encouraging performance in what was his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace just over a year ago. He spotted 23 of his 40 pitches for strikes and induced five whiffs on the night while averaging 92 mph with his four-seam fastball. The right-hander will likely need to build up his pitch count over at least two or three more rehab starts before the Royals bring him back from the injured list and potentially give him a look in the rotation in September.

Royals' Tony Gonsolin: Nearing rehab assignment
Rotowire
Gonsolin (elbow) is on track to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha this week, per MLB.com.
Gonsolin signed with the Royals on Aug. 13 and is nearing the final stage of his recovery from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, which he underwent on his right elbow in August 2025. The right-hander's first outing is expected to last approximately three innings or 50 pitches. It remains to be seen how many rehab starts Kansas City plans to give him, but Gonsolin figures to receive some starting opportunities with the big-league club down the stretch in September.

Royals' Tony Gonsolin: Throws live batting practice Friday
Rotowire
Gonsolin (elbow) threw a three-inning, 45-pitch live batting practice session in Arizona on Friday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Gonsolin, who underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace in his right elbow in August 2025, inked a one-year deal with the Royals on Thursday as his recovery nears its final stages. Provided the right-hander doesn't experience any renewed discomfort, Kansas City hopes to send him on a rehab assignment soon. In 86 career outings with the Dodgers, Gonsolin posted a 3.34 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 411.2 innings, though injuries have been a recurring issue for the 32-year-old.

Royals' Tony Gonsolin: Signs with Royals
Rotowire
Gonsolin (elbow) signed a one-year contract with the Royals on Thursday.
Gonsolin has spent the entire season up to this point as a free agent, but he'll receive an opportunity with the Royals now that he's nearing the final stages of his recovery from the Tommy John procedure he underwent last August. He was placed on the 15-day injured list immediately after signing with the club, and it's unknown when he might make his season debut. Eli Morgan was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
Gonsolin (elbow) elected to become a free agent Wednesday.
Gonsolin passed through waivers unclaimed after the Dodgers designated him for assignment, and he's exercised his right to hit the free-agent market. The 31-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace on his right elbow in August, so it's unlikely he'll be available to pitch until at least the second half of the 2026 season.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: DFA'd by Dodgers
Rotowire
The Dodgers designated Gonsolin (elbow) for assignment Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
A back injury prevented Gonsolin from pitching in the first month of the regular season, and he suffered an elbow injury in June that ultimately required season-ending surgery and will keep him sidelined for at least the first few months of the 2026 campaign. Assuming the injury-prone righty clears waivers, he will have the right to elect free agency and attempt to find another opportunity elsewhere.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Done for 2025
Rotowire
Gonsolin underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Gonsolin has been on the injured list since early June with elbow soreness. After making minimal progress in his recovery, the 31-year-old opted to go under the knife to address the issue, which will officially end his 2025 campaign after just seven starts. His recovery is expected to take roughly 8-to-10 months, putting him in line to return sometime during the first half of the '26 season.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Gonsolin (elbow) is not close to starting a throwing program, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Gonsolin has not done any throwing since he landed on the 15-day injured list in early June with right elbow soreness. He's since been transferred to the 60-day IL and there is no timetable for the right-hander's return.
Gonsolin (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Gonsolin was placed on the injured list June 7 due to right elbow soreness. Imaging showed that his UCL was intact, but he'll nevertheless now be sidelined until at least early August. The move made room for Jack Little on the 40-man roster.
