| Jun 19 2025 | Gonsolin (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 August 7. The move made room for Jack Little on the 40-man roster. |
|
| Jun 8 2025 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Sunday that scans of Gonsolin's injured right elbow showed that his UCL is intact, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery late in 2023, and there was concern about the health of his UCL when he experienced right elbow discomfort following his most recent start June 5. Despite the good news, Gonsolin will stop throwing for an undetermined period. He was placed on the 15-day IL on Saturday, but it's not clear how long he will be out of action. |
|
| Jun 7 2025 | The Dodgers placed Gonsolin on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin last started Wednesday when he allowed three runs (two earned) over five innings in a loss to the Mets. The right-hander began the campaign on the IL due to a back injury, but this is the first word of Gonsolin dealing with an elbow issue. It's unclear how Los Angeles will immediately replace Gonsolin in the rotation, as the team activated a pair of relievers -- Michael Kopech (shoulder) and Kirby Yates (hamstring) -- from the IL on Saturday. |
|
| Jun 5 2025 | Gonsolin (3-2) took the loss against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out six batters over five innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In Gonsolin's previous start, he served up four home runs but was still able to earn a victory behind a potent Dodgers offense. The right-hander had a better stat line Wednesday with only one long ball and two earned runs allowed, but Los Angeles didn't score until the ninth frame, saddling Gonsolin with his second loss of the campaign. There were some positive takeaways despite the defeat, as he racked up an impressive 17 whiffs and tied a season-low mark with three hits allowed. He's still struggling with his control, though, as Gonsolin has walked multiple batters in six straight starts and has a poor 5.4 K/9 over 30 innings during that span. |
|
| May 30 2025 | Gonsolin (3-1) allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win Friday over the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin served up four home runs in this outing, but he was fortunate that three of them were solo shots. After a positive start to the season, Gonsolin has allowed at least four runs while walking at least three batters in each of his last three outings. He's now at a 5.23 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 31 innings through six starts. The right-hander's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Mets. |
|
| May 24 2025 | Gonsolin (2-1) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin allowed a constant stream of baserunners in the outing and didn't retire the side in order until his fifth and final frame. The right-hander wasn't hit all that hard, however -- only one of the knocks (a Juan Soto two-run double) against him went for extra bases. Gonsolin looked very good in beginning the campaign by allowing just five runs with a 21:4 K:BB over 16 innings across his first three starts, but he's scuffled since, yielding eight runs with a 7:8 K:BB across nine frames in his past two appearances. He'll look to get back on track in what's projected to be a tough home matchup against the Yankees next weekend. |
|
| May 18 2025 | Gonsolin didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Angels, allowing four runs on four hits and five walks with three strikeouts over four innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Per Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Gonsolin picked some dead skin off the thumb on his throwing hand following his pregame bullpen, which led to frequent bleeding while he was on the mound. As a result, he walked five batters, matching his previous career high that was set in 2021. Gonsolin missed the first month of the season due to a back injury, but the veteran right-hander has made four straight starts since being activated. Sunday's outing ballooned his ERA from 2.81 to 4.05. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Mets in New York next weekend. |
|
| May 11 2025 | Gonsolin (2-0) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four over five scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin landed just 48 of 84 pitches for strikes but still put together a strong start. It was his first scoreless outing in 2025, and he's now at a 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 16 innings through three starts. Gonsolin is providing quality innings for a Dodger rotation that's been battered by injuries in the early going. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Angels. |
|
| May 8 2025 | Gonsolin will start Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was slated to start Tuesday against the Athletics, but the Dodgers will bypass a bullpen game Sunday and instead start him on regular rest. Gonsolin has been sharp in two starts this season, maintaining a 17:2 K:BB across 11 frames of work. |
|
| May 6 2025 | Gonsolin didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Marlins, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out eight. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander blanked Miami for four innings before Liam Hicks touched him up for a two-run homer in the fifth. Gonsolin generated a whopping 18 swinging strikes among his 82 pitches (49 total strikes), and he's produced an eye-popping 17:2 K:BB through 11 innings in his first two starts of 2025 -- although both starts did come against the Marlins. Gonsolin will face a somewhat tougher test in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the A's. |
|
| Apr 30 2025 | Gonsolin (1-0) earned the win in Wednesday's 12-7 victory over the Marlins, allowing three runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out nine. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was an impressive return to the mound for Gonsolin, who missed the first month of the season with a back injury after missing all of the 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery. With Blake Snell (shoulder) and Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) both sidelined, Gonsolin should provide much-needed reinforcement to the Dodgers' rotation. The right-hander currently lines up for a rematch with the Marlins on the road in his next outing. |
|
| Apr 15 2025 | Gonsolin (back) hurled four innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City in a rehab start Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five batters. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin retired the first six batters he faced but then struggled in the third inning, giving up three runs. While his final line wasn't great, it's worth noting that all six hits the right-hander allowed were singles, including one bunt single. Gonsolin tossed 43 of 66 pitches for strikes in the outing, and the four frames represented his longest appearance so far in his rehab stint, which has consisted of three starts so far. Gonsolin will likely need at least one more rehab start before he's activated off the IL, and when he returns he could have at least a temporary spot in the Dodgers' rotation, especially if Blake Snell (shoulder) has not returned to action by then. |
|
| Apr 10 2025 | Gonsolin (back) will need at least two more rehab outings to ramp up to five or six innings, MLB.com reports. He threw 3.1 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in his second rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers have openings in the starting rotation with Blake Snell (shoulder) on the injured list and Justin Wrobleski sent to the minors after his last poor outing. However, it doesn't look like Gonsolin is an option in the next week. Gonsolin began the season on the injured list due to a back injury he suffered in mid-March. |
|
| Apr 3 2025 | Gonsolin (back) tossed 1.2 scoreless innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, allowing one hit and issuing two walks while striking out one batter. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin's control wasn't great in the outing -- he threw only 15 of his 30 pitches for strikes -- but otherwise the right-hander had a smooth return to game action. Gonsolin had his spring cut short due to a back injury he suffered while lifting weights, and he's currently on the major-league 15-day IL. He could be ready to return to the big club in mid-to-late April, though it's not clear what his role will be given that the Dodgers currently have five healthy starters while in the midst of an 8-0 beginning to the campaign. |
|
| Apr 2 2025 | Gonsolin (back) is scheduled to start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Alex reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin began the season on the injured list due to a back injury he suffered in mid-March, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to begin his rehab assignment in Triple-A and is expected to pitch two innings Thursday. Gonsolin went 8-5 across 20 regular-season starts for the Dodgers in 2024 and posted a 4.98 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 82:40 K:BB across 103 innings. |
|
| Mar 28 2025 | Gonsolin (back) threw against live hitters Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin began the season on the 15-day injured list after suffering a back injury while lifting weights in early March. Friday was the second time he's thrown to hitters, and he told reporters after his session that his next outing will go three innings either in another simulated game or while on a rehab assignment. |
|
| Mar 26 2025 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin (back) is "progressing nicely" in this throwing program, per MLB.com. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was competing for a rotation spot for much of spring training, but he injured his back while lifting weights in early March and will open the season on the injured list. Meanwhile, Dustin May will begin the campaign as the Dodgers' fifth starter. Gonsolin doesn't seem to be dealing with a long-term issue, but it's unclear what his role will be upon his return. The right-hander didn't pitch in the majors at all last year while recovering from Tommy John surgery. |
|
| Mar 17 2025 | Gonsolin (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was previously reported that Gonsolin was expected to begin the season on the injured list due to a back issue, and the team made the move official Monday. Dustin May will hold on to the fifth starter spot until Gonsolin is back at 100 percent, at which point the club will need to make a decision on whether to deploy Gonsolin in long relief or bump May from the rotation. |
|
| Mar 11 2025 | Gonsolin (back) will begin the season on the injured list, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin recently injured his back while lifting, and manager Dave Roberts confirmed Tuesday that the right-hander won't be ready for the regular season. Dustin May will claim the fifth spot in the Dodgers' rotation as a result, and there's no guarantee Gonsolin will automatically claim that spot once he's healthy. |
|
| Mar 10 2025 | Gonsolin has been dealing with a minor back injury suffered while lifting, Dodgers Territory reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Skipper Dave Roberts cited the back issue as the reason Gonsolin won't have enough time to ramp all the way up in spring training. As a result, Roberts stated that Dustin May makes the most sense to open the regular season as the team's fifth starter. Gonsolin still has one minor-league option remaining, though the club would more likely elect to deploy the right-hander out of the bullpen, assuming the decision is to roll with May at the back end of the starting rotation. |
|
| Feb 27 2025 | Gonsolin has pitched three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out three batters, over two appearances in Cactus League play. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he appears back to full health this spring. The right-hander was super efficient in his most recent appearance Wednesday, needing just 13 pitches -- all of which were strikes -- to retire six batters. Gonsolin is a candidate to open the regular season as the Dodgers' fifth starter. |
|
| Feb 20 2025 | Gonsolin is scheduled to start Friday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin didn't pitch for the Dodgers in 2024 while spending most of the season recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in September 2023, but he was cleared to make three rehab starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City this past September. Though he looked sharp at Triple-A, Gonsolin was never reinstated from the injured list during the Dodgers' run to the World Series, but that wasn't the result of him suffering any sort of setback. Despite having had a normal offseason in addition to owning a sterling 3.19 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 375.2 career innings in the big leagues, Gonsolin will have to fight for a spot in a talent-laden Dodgers rotation that lost Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler in free agency and Gavin Stone (shoulder) to injury but became even deeper with the additions of Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki and the returns of Shohei Ohtani and Dustin May from Tommy John surgery. The Dodgers plan to open the season with a traditional five-man rotation before going to a six-man setup once Ohtani is fully stretched out for starting duty -- perhaps at some point in May -- so Gonsolin will be competing with Sasaki, May, Bobby Miller (concussion), Landon Knack and Justin Wrobleski for one of two spots. Gonsolin has a minor-league option remaining, but since he's 30 years old and has a strong track record in the majors, he would likely work out of the big-league bullpen if he misses out on a rotation spot. |
|
| Feb 14 2025 | Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Friday that the team plans to use a five-man rotation until Shohei Ohtani (shoulder/elbow) is ready to pitch, which would seemingly leave Gonsolin and others competing for one spot, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Dave Roberts recently suggested that Ohtani could be ready to make his season debut on the mound sometime in May, though there's no concrete timeline yet. The Dodgers will shift to a six-man rotation at that point, but until then they will use a traditional five-man setup. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki are locked into four of the spots, which leaves Gonsolin, Dustin May, Bobby Miller, Landon Knack, Justin Wrobleski, Ben Casparius and perhaps others competing for the final slot. Roberts said Friday that Gonsolin and May will be considered for the bullpen if they don't make the rotation. |
|
| Nov 22 2024 | Gonsolin agreed to a one-year, $5.4 million contract with the Dodgers on Friday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin missed the entire 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2023. He managed to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City in September, and across three outings he allowed two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out 12 over 7.2 innings. The 30-year-old right-hander should be available for the start of spring training. |
|
| Oct 12 2024 | Gonsolin (elbow) is likely to remain sidelined for the NLCS against the Mets, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin ramped up to three innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City before the minor-league campaign ended, though he has yet to be active in the postseason. Manager Dave Roberts didn't rule him out formally, but Landon Knack looks likely to be the primary choice for long relief for the Dodgers in the NLCS. |
|
| Sep 21 2024 | Gonsolin (elbow) allowed just one walk over three innings while striking out six in his rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was Gonsolin's third and best rehab outing as he threw as many strikeouts Saturday as he had across his first two appearances with Oklahoma City. The 30-year-old right-hander is in the final stages of his rehab program from Tommy John surgery from last September. Given his most recent outing and barring any setbacks, Gonsolin could be in the Dodgers' pitching plans for the postseason, either in the rotation or out of the bullpen. |
|
| Sep 17 2024 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Gonsolin (elbow) will make another rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City before potentially joining the big-league club, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Sep 10 2024 | Gonsolin (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 Dodgers in 2023 prior to surgery. |
|
| Aug 31 2024 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated this week that the door is "slightly open" for Gonsolin (elbow) to pitch before the end of the season, per MLB.com. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery on Sept. 1 of last year, so he's almost one year removed from the procedure. The right-handed hurler 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. |
|
| Feb 9 2024 | The Dodgers placed Gonsolin (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Aug 28 2023 | Gonsolin (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Aug 27 2023 | The Dodgers transferred Gonsolin (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Aug 19 2023 | The Dodgers placed Gonsolin on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right forearm inflammation, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Aug 18 2023 | Gonsolin (8-5) surrendered 10 runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out two over 3.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both starters struggled in this contest, but Gonsolin got caught with more traffic on the bases. He gave up a total of five homers in the contest, including three for multiple runs, in his worst outing of the season. This snapped a three-game winning streak for Gonsolin as well as the Dodgers' 11-game winning streak as a team. He's now at a 4.98 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 82:40 K:BB through 103 innings over 20 starts this year. Gonsolin has alternated good and bad outings over his last five turns, but he's projected for a tough road assignment in Boston his next time out. |
|
| Aug 12 2023 | Gonsolin (8-4) allowed a run on three hits and struck out six without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win Saturday over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin earned his third win in a row, rebounding from allowing six runs over six innings his last start. His lone mistake Saturday was an Ezequiel Tovar solo home run on the first pitch of the game. While Gonsolin has either been sharp or shaky with little in between, it's averaged out to a pedestrian 4.24 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 80:36 K:BB through 99.2 innings over 19 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Marlins. |
|
| Aug 7 2023 | Gonsolin (7-4) earned the win Monday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk over six innings against San Diego. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Padres inflicted the majority of their damage against Gonsolin in the third inning, tallying five runs on four hits including a two-run bomb by Luis Campusano. Despite the rough inning, Gonsolin managed to stay in the game long enough to receive the run support needed to earn a victory. In five starts since the All-Star break, the 29-year-old right-hander has now posted a 5.19 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 26 innings. He is projected for a home start against the Rockies over the weekend. |
|
| Aug 2 2023 | Gonsolin (6-4) allowed a run on five hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While it was a soft matchup, it was still a positive to see Gonsolin end a three-start winless stretch. His lone mistake was a Shea Langeliers solo home run in the third inning -- that was the sixth homer Gonsolin has allowed over his last five starts. The right-hander now has a 4.11 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 71:35 K:BB through 87.2 innings over 17 starts. He's projected for a road start in San Diego early next week. |
|
| Jul 27 2023 | Gonsolin (5-4) took the loss Wednesday as the Dodgers fell 8-1 to the Blue Jays, giving up five runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander continues to wilt in the summer heat. Gonsolin has been tagged for at least four runs in six of his last seven starts, stumbling to a 7,25 ERA over that stretch despite a superficially respectable 1.39 WHIP. The 29-year-old's 19.7 percent strikeout rate and 9.7 percent swinging strike rate on the season are career lows, as is his 92.6 mph average on his fastball, and Gonsolin could be tough to deploy even as a streaming option in the second half if he can't regain some of those lost whiffs. He's next set to take the mound at home next week against the A's. |
|
| Jul 21 2023 | Gonsolin yielded four runs on two hits and three walks over five innings in Friday's win over Texas. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin allowed a two-run homer in the first inning and later gave up two more runs in the fourth. He's been tagged with at least four runs in five of his last six outings, spiking his ERA from 1.93 to 3.94 during that span. The six-strikeout total was his highest since June 18 but he's been taken deep four times in his last three starts. Gonsolin's next outing is currently lined up to be at home against Toronto next week. |
|
| Jul 16 2023 | Gonsolin allowed two hits and one run in a no-decision against the Mets on Saturday. He walked one batter and struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin gave up a deep solo blast to Brandon Nimmo in the fourth inning but otherwise kept the Mets off the scoreboard. It was curious, then, that he was pulled after the fifth frame having thrown just 54 pitches, but manager Dave Roberts clarified after the contest that the quick hook wasn't due to an injury. "You could see Tony kind of battling with the humidity, the feel of the baseball. When you're looking down at a fresh 'pen, for me it was a no-brainer on shortening him right there as far as pitch count," Roberts stated, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Ardaya adds that Gonsolin himself stated that he "couldn't get a good grip on the ball," so there doesn't seem to be any concern about the right-hander's health. Gonsolin should be good to go without restrictions for his next outing, which is lined up to be a tough matchup against the Rangers in Texas. |
|
| Jul 8 2023 | Gonsolin improved to 5-3 with a victory over the Angels on Friday during which he allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out five batters. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was staked to a 4-0 lead through three innings before giving up a Mickey Moniak three-run homer in the fourth. The right-hander bounced back with a scoreless fifth and sixth, then surrendered a solo shot to Mike Moustakas in the seventh. Gonsolin finished having yielded exactly four runs for his third straight start, but this was the best outing of the bunch as he went a season-high 6.2 frames on an efficient 77 pitches (54 strikes). The 29-year-old heads into the All-Star break with a 3.86 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 54:26 K:BB over 67.2 innings on the campaign. |
|
| Jul 3 2023 | Gonsolin (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was roughed up Sunday for a third consecutive start by one of the worst offenses in baseball. He tossed scoreless frames in the first and third but unraveled in the fourth after allowing four of the first five batters he faced to reach, leading to three runs in the inning for the Royals. He was unable to complete the frame and was yanked at 81 pitches. Gonsolin has issued multiple walks in seven of his last eight starts and has given up 15 runs over his last 14.1 innings after owning a sparkling 1.93 ERA through June 13. The 29-year-old now sports a 3.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB in 61 innings and lines up to face the Angels this week. |
|
| Jun 25 2023 | Gonsolin yielded four runs on five hits and a walk over five innings in Sunday's loss to Houston. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All the damage against Gonsolin came on a pair of two-run shots. He turned in four straight starts without allowing a home run but still posted a lackluster 4.37 ERA during that span. After registering a 1.13 ERA through five starts, Gonsolin's season ERA has spiked to 3.30 across 57.1 innings. His next start is lined up to be in Kansas City. |
|
| Jun 18 2023 | Gonsolin (4-2) yielded seven runs on six hits and three walks over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin looked strong through three perfect frames before things began to unravel. While it was his first time allowing more than three runs in an outing this year, he also racked up a season-high seven punchouts. Gonsolin had registered a 1.93 ERA while going 4-0 over his previous six starts before Sunday. Despite the poor outing, Gonsolin is sporting a 2.92 ERA with a 43:21 K:BB across 10 starts. His next start is lined up to be at home against the Astros. |
|
| Jun 13 2023 | Gonsolin (4-1) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin threw 60 of 90 pitches for strikes and picked up his third quality start in nine outings this season. He's won four of his last six starts, and this was the third time in that span he's kept runs off the board. The steady right-hander is at a 1.93 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB through 46.2 innings, though those ratios are likely too good to last since he's not dominating with strikeouts as much this year. He's projected to make his next start over the weekend at home versus the Giants. |
|
| Jun 7 2023 | Gonsolin did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Reds, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Reds got to Gonsolin for three runs in the opening frame on three singles, a walk and a hit batsman. Gonsolin settled in thereafter, pitching three scoreless innings before the Reds tacked on an additional run in the fifth on a throwing error. He departed with a four-run lead, which wound up being blown by the Dodgers' bullpen. The 29-year-old has a 2.21 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across eight starts thus far, though he owns a subpar 30:16 K:BB over 40.2 innings and his 4.48 FIP suggests there's been some luck on his side. Still, he's allowed three earned runs or fewer in every start this year. He'll line up to take the mound again next week in a home matchup against the White Sox. |
|
| May 30 2023 | Gonsolin (3-1) allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings to earn the win over the Nationals on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin needed just 70 pitches (44 strikes) to complete six frames. This was his second quality start in seven outings this season -- he's yet to allow more than three runs in any of them, but he's had some difficulty pitching deep into games. The results are there, as Gonsolin owns a 1.77 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB through 35.2 innings this season. He's lined up to make his next start on the road in Cincinnati. |
|
| May 24 2023 | Gonsolin allowed three runs on three hits and two walks whiles striking out four batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin entered the contest having pitched 16 innings without allowing an earned run over his previous three starts, and he kept Atlanta off the scoreboard for three frames Wednesday. However, the scoreless streak ended with Matt Olson's mammoth solo homer in the fourth, and Marcell Ozuna added a two-run blast off the right-hander in the fifth. Gonsolin still pitched well overall -- he yielded just one hit aside from the long balls -- and his ERA remains sterling at 1.82. His next turn in the rotation is tentatively slated to be a home matchup against the Nationals. |
|
| May 20 2023 | Gonsolin (2-1) allowed a hit and three walks while striking out three over five shutout innings to earn the win Friday over the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has pitched five scoreless innings in each of his last two starts, and he hasn't given up an earned run since May 1. He was able to keep the Cardinals' offense quiet Friday, just one day after they launched seven homers against the Dodgers' pitching staff. Gonsolin is down to a 1.13 ERA with a 0.92 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB through 24 innings over five starts this season. His 94 pitches were a season high, and he should be considered clear for a full workload going forward. His next start is projected to be a tough road outing in Atlanta next week. |
|
| May 14 2023 | Gonsolin (1-1) allowed two hits and a walk over five shutout innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over San Diego. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Padres had nothing for Gonsolin all afternoon. He allowed two leadoff doubles but quickly worked out of the jams and retired the last eight batters he faced. Gonsolin threw a season-high 85 pitches and dropped his ERA to 1.42 across 19 innings. He's currently lined up to make his next start in St. Louis. |
|
| May 8 2023 | Gonsolin (0-1) gave up three unearned runs on three hits over six innings Monday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin faced little pushback from Milwaukee through four shutout frames. He ran into trouble in the fifth after a fielding error and Joey Wiemer made him pay with a three-run shot. It was the longest start of the year for Gonsolin, who threw 54 of 80 pitches for strikes as he works towards a full workload. He's sporting a 1.93 ERA and a 10:5 K:BB through 14 innings. Gonsolin is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Padres this weekend. |
|
| May 1 2023 | Gonsolin allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings during Monday's win over the Phillies. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After throwing 65 pitches in his season debut, Gonsolin got up to 80 in his second outing, including 52 strikes (nine whiffs). He worked through three shutout frames before serving up a solo homer to Kyle Schwarber. Gonsolin was then charged with two more runs in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has registered a 3.38 ERA with a 4:5 K:BB through eight innings in his two starts. Gonsolin is projected to take the mound in San Diego this weekend, where he should be able to handle a full workload. |
|
| Apr 27 2023 | Gonsolin pitched 3.1 scoreless innings against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, allowing two hits and three walks. He struck out one batter and didn't factor in the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin spent the first four weeks of the campaign on the IL due to an ankle injury, so he was limited to just 65 pitches in his 2023 debut. The right-hander allowed two baserunners in the third frame before inducing an inning-ending double play, and Los Angeles' bullpen came to his rescue in the following frame after he put two more Pirates on base with one out. Gonsolin is tentatively slated to face Philadelphia his next time out, and he should be able to extend his pitch count further, though it may take a few outings before he's allowed to handle a full workload. |
|
| Apr 6 2023 | Gonsolin (ankle) completed live batting practice Wednesday but will throw at least another bullpen session and live batting practice prior to beginning a rehab assignment, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin is working out at the Dodgers' spring training facility in Arizona as he continues to recover from a sprained left ankle. Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin "got through" the bullpen session, so it's unclear just how far his recovery has progressed. Regardless, it appears that Gonsolin is still at least a few weeks away from taking a big-league mound for the first time in 2023. |
|
| Apr 2 2023 | Gonsolin (ankle) is scheduled to face hitters in a live batting practice session Wednesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin remains at the Dodgers' spring training facility in Arizona while he continues to rehab the sprained left ankle that forced him to the 15-day injured list to begin the campaign, but he appears on pace to rejoin the big club by late April or early May if he incurs no further setbacks in his recovery. He came out of a two-inning, 40-pitch bullpen session Sunday feeling fine and will take the next step forward in his rehab program by facing hitters. |
|
| Mar 31 2023 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that Gonsolin (ankle) will throw a bullpen session before Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: If things go well during that bullpen session, Roberts is hopeful that the right-hander will face hitters at Camelback Ranch in Arizona on Wednesday. Gonsolin is on the injured list with a sprained ankle injury, and if things go well he could return to the Los Angeles rotation by the end of April. |
|
| Mar 30 2023 | Gonsolin (ankle) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin is still getting stretched out after missing most of spring training because of a sprained left ankle. The target range for his 2023 debut seems to be late April. Michael Grove has claimed the final spot in the Dodgers' starting rotation with Ryan Pepiot (oblique) also requiring an IL stint. |
|
| Mar 17 2023 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Gonsolin (ankle) will begin the season on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The news hardly comes as a surprise, as Gonsolin was expected to miss the first several weeks of the season, but Roberts has now confirmed it. The 28-year-old righty began throwing Wednesday, but the team will go slow with his recovery. |
|
| Mar 15 2023 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Wednesday that Gonsolin (ankle) has started throwing, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has started playing long toss and was able to throw from 120 feet Tuesday in Arizona. The right-hander is dealing with an ankle sprain significant enough to potentially cost him the start of the 2023 season. It's a positive sign he's resumed throwing, however, and there should be further updates on Gonsolin's status in the coming days. |
|
| Mar 10 2023 | Gonsolin's rehab from his ankle injury is going to "be a slow process," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin managed to avoid a fracture when he injured his left ankle during a fielding drill Monday, but the sprain he suffered seems to have been a fairly significant one. The plan is for the right-hander to be shut down for several more days and he'll then need to be built back up. Roberts wouldn't offer a timetable for Gonsolin's return, but it sounds like he could wind up missing the first several weeks of the season. Ryan Pepiot and Michael Grove are the candidates to fill Gonsolin's rotation spot. |
|
| Mar 8 2023 | Gonsolin's left ankle is still swollen, but X-rays revealed there was no fracture, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Because of the swelling in Gonsolin's sprained ankle, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced the right-hander won't throw for at least several more days. The good news is there's no structural damage, so it does appear Gonsolin has avoided a serious injury. Because of the missed time, however, there is a chance that the 28-year-old will not be ready for the start of the 2023 season, with Roberts going so far as to say he "doesn't feel good" about his chances. |
|
| Mar 6 2023 | Gonsolin has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle and will not make his Cactus League start as scheduled Wednesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin rolled his ankle while doing fielding drills Monday. The Dodgers are calling the right-hander day-to-day, but he was spotted with a noticeable limp at the team's spring training complex. Manager Dave Roberts believes Gonsolin is built up enough that this shouldn't affect his availability for Opening Day. He's currently not scheduled to have any imaging done, although that could change depending on how he progresses in the coming days. |
|
| Jan 31 2023 | Gonsolin signed a two-year, $6.65 million contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday to avoid arbitration. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After turning in a dominant season in 2022 to the tune of a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP through 130.1 innings, Gonsolin earned himself a nice raise from his $720,000 salary last year. The 28-year-old starter will still have two years of arbitration eligibility after the 2024 season. |
|
| Oct 12 2022 | Gonsolin will start Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres on Friday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a stellar 2022 campaign in which Gonsolin recorded a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP, he will make his first start of the postseason in San Diego. Gonsolin's last start against the Padres was a five-inning shutout performance on Aug. 5 in which he gave up just three hits and a walk while earning the win. |
|
| Oct 4 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) tossed two innings against Colorado on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while striking out three batters in a no-decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin missed over a month while dealing with a right forearm strain, so his start Monday was intentionally brief. The right-hander threw 40 pitches (24 for strikes) and did well by striking out three batters, though a trio of Rockies hits in the second inning resulted in a run against him. Gonsolin finished the regular season with a standout 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP over 130.1 innings, but the time missed due to injury means he won't qualify to be among the league leaders in those categories. Gonsolin will next throw a simulated game Sunday, and if that goes well, he's expected to be placed on the NLDS roster as a potential starter in Game 3 or 4, per Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA. |
|
| Oct 3 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) was activated from the 15-day injured list Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After spending over a month on the injured list due to a strained right forearm, Gonsolin will return Monday and start against the Rockies. He threw just two innings during his rehab assignment, so he will likely be on a relatively-low pitch count. Andre Jackson will return to Triple-A with the re-addition of Gonsolin to the roster. |
|
| Sep 29 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) is expected to return from the injured list to start Monday's game against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has been out for a month with a strained right forearm, but it looks like he'll make it back in time for one tune-up start as the Dodgers get ready for the postseason. He only threw two innings in his lone rehab start Tuesday, however, so he'll likely be limited to three or four frames in his return. |
|
| Sep 24 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) will return to the majors after just one rehab start if his outing Tuesday for Triple-A Oklahoma City goes well, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin hasn't pitched in a game in over a month due to a strained right forearm. The only way he can make it back this year is if he returns after a single rehab appearance, but it looks like that's the Dodgers' plan. While he's expected to pitch as a starter upon his return, don't expect him to pitch too deep into the game in his first start back, as he's scheduled to throw only two innings Tuesday and will likely be limited to three or four in his subsequent outing. |
|
| Sep 23 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) will throw a pair of rehab innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Beginning a rehab assignment gives Gonsolin at least a chance to return before the regular season, but it's unclear if there will be enough time for him to do so. If the team wants to build his workload back up with the goal of having him start games in the playoffs, he won't have time to complete that process before the end of the regular season, though he could still return in a relief role. |
|
| Sep 22 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) faced live batters Thursday, and manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander's "stuff looked good," Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old landed on the shelf a month ago with a forearm strain, but he's back to facing live hitters as the regular season winds down. Gonsolin will throw another bullpen session before again pitching to live batters, which could be the final step before being reinstated to the active roster. |
|
| Sep 21 2022 | Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin (forearm) will throw two innings against live hitters Thursday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The road back has been a slow journey for Gonsolin after he landed on the 15-day injured list at the end of August. He's thrown a handful of bullpen sessions over the past week and could still make a return before the end of the regular season, but it will almost certainly be in a bullpen role. |
|
| Sep 19 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) threw a two-inning bullpen session Monday, with the team noting an increase in velocity, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This is positive news for Gonsolin, who continues to battle his way back from a right forearm strain suffered in August. While his latest throwing session brings positive news, the team has been unclear about the next step in his rehab. If he is activated prior to the end of the regular season, Gonsolin will likely be brought back as a bullpen arm, as he won't have enough time to build back up to a starting role. |
|
| Sep 17 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) threw a successful bullpen session Saturday, but the team doesn't expect him to be built up to a full starter's workload before the postseason, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has had an outstanding season, posting a 2.10 ERA in 23 starts, but he might not get the chance to add to that total down the stretch. He's been out since late August with a strained forearm, and the Dodgers have no incentive to rush him given that they've already clinched their division and face no real competition for the top seed in the National League. While Gonsolin seemingly has time to make it back for an outing or two, those appearances could come in relief or as very short starts. |
|
| Sep 14 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) threw a bullpen session Wednesday which manager Dave Roberts described as "encouraging," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was unable to throw at full intensity during his bullpen over the weekend, but he quickly returned to the mound Wednesday for a positive session. Roberts expects Gonsolin to return before the end of the regular season, but whether the right-hander comes back as a starter or reliever will depend on how well he's able to build up his workload in the near future. |
|
| Sep 13 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) wasn't able to throw at full intensity during his bullpen session Sunday, but he'll have another such session Wednesday, and the team still believes the hurler will be able to return by the end of the season, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The results of Gonsolin's Sunday bullpen were mixed, as he wasn't able to throw without restrictions but is still expected to toss another session three days later. The right-hander last pitched in a game Aug. 23 and was initially expected to have a short stint on the IL, so it's discouraging that he's not yet back to full strength. However, manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism that Gonsolin can return as a starter before the end of the campaign. |
|
| Sep 9 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has not thrown from a mound since landing on the injured list, but it appears he is ready to get back on the bump. It's unclear if Gonsolin will require a rehab assignment before rejoining the big club, but the Dodgers figure to release an update on his status following Sunday's session. |
|
| Sep 6 2022 | Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin (forearm) isn't progressing as quickly as the Dodgers have hoped, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After receiving encouraging MRI results on Gonsolin's forearm, the Dodgers have hit a bit of a wall in the process of bringing the 28-year-old righty back. Roberts said he is still optimistic Gonsolin will have time to build back and make his return, it just may take longer than the team originally thought. |
|
| Sep 5 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) is not ready to throw off a mound, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He pitched from 90 feet recently but needs to be throwing at 150 feet at least for him to get back on the mound. Gonsolin is trending toward returning in mid-to-late September. |
|
| Sep 3 2022 | Gonsolin (forearm) threw in the outfield Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin landed on the injured list Monday with a right forearm strain, but initial reports suggested he was in line for a short absence. His MRI results were encouraging Friday, clearing him to begin throwing. |
|
| Sep 2 2022 | Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that he was encouraged by the results of Gonsolin's (forearm) MRI, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers said Thursday that Gonsolin wasn't progressing as quickly as the team had hoped, but the right-hander will begin a throwing program Saturday following the results of his MRI. Roberts is optimistic that Gonsolin will miss just two turns through the rotation. |
|
| Sep 1 2022 | Gonsolin isn't progressing as quickly as the Dodgers had hoped in his recovery from a forearm strain, and manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander will undergo an MRI on Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Roberts was careful to note that Gonsolin hasn't suffered a setback since being placed on the injured list Monday, but the 28-year-old All-Star was unable to do any light throwing over the past couple days as had been originally planned. The MRI should shed more light on a potential return date for Gonsolin, but for the time being, Roberts is optimistic the right-hander will miss only two turns through the rotation, according to Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA. |
|
| Aug 29 2022 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that he expects Gonsolin (forearm) to miss only two starts after the right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Gonsolin was diagnosed with a right forearm strain Monday, neither the Dodgers nor the National League Cy Young Award contender seem especially concerned about the injury. According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Gonsolin felt tight coming out of his most recent start Aug. 23, and the Dodgers seem to have placed him on the shelf out of an abundance of caution, with Roberts noting that the team had planned to curb the right-hander's innings in September anyway. Per Ardaya, Gonsolin passed all strength and ligament testing and won't require an MRI, leaving him optimistic he'll be ready to return from the IL when first eligible Sept. 10. He'll rest the next two days before being re-evaluated Wednesday, and if doctors remain satisfied with the condition of Gonsolin's arm, he could resume a throwing program. The Dodgers called up Michael Grove from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill Gonsolin's spot in the rotation Monday in Miami. |
|
| Aug 23 2022 | Gonsolin (16-1) allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin also threw two wild pitches in the start. With the Dodgers up 7-1 after five innings, manager Dave Roberts elected to take the right-hander out of the game after 77 pitches (45 strikes). Considering he's now at a career-high 128.1 innings, it makes sense that the team will be cautious with him in the midst of a breakout year. Gonsolin hasn't allowed multiple runs in any of his last four starts, trimming his ERA to 2.10 with a 0.86 WHIP and 116:35 K:BB through 23 outings overall. He's tentatively projected to make his next start in pitcher-friendly Miami. |
|
| Aug 17 2022 | Gonsolin (15-1) earned the win over Milwaukee on Wednesday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over seven scoreless innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin held the Brewers without a hit until the fifth inning, and he didn't allow any baserunners to reach second base over his seven innings of work. The All-Star hurler tied a season high with eight strikeouts and picked up his fourth straight victory. Gonsolin is nearing his high mark as a professional with 123.1 innings on the campaign, but he's showing no signs of slowing down -- in fact, he's been dominant over his past three starts, allowing just one run over 18.2 innings. The right-hander is tied for the MLB lead with 15 victories, has held opponents to a league-low .169 batting average and ranks second in the National League with a 2.12 ERA. |
|
| Aug 13 2022 | Gonsolin (14-1) gave up one earned run on two hits and three walks while striking out three over 6.2 innings to earn the win in an 8-3 victory over the Royals on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin retired the first 16 batters he faced and carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning to pick up his 14th win of the season. All of the offense the Royals mustered against Gonsolin came on an RBI double before he exited the game with a 5-1 lead after throwing 85 pitches. The 28-year-old right-hander has now strung together two excellent starts in a row after some minor struggles toward the end of July. He is tied for the NL lead in wins and ranks second in the league with a 2.24 ERA, behind only Sandy Alcantara (2.01). He is tentatively expected to make his next start at Milwaukee next week. |
|
| Aug 6 2022 | Gonsolin (13-1) earned the win during Friday's 8-1 victory over San Diego, allowing three hits ad one walk with six strikeouts in five scoreless innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin put two Padres on in the first inning but limited the damage to only two more baserunners the rest of the way, retiring the final seven he faced. The 28-year-old has now posted consecutive wins after losing his first contest and is tied with Atlanta's Kyle Wright for second in the majors with 13 victories. Gonsolin sports a 2.30 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with 102 strikeouts in 109.2 innings across 20 starts and currently lines up to face off against Kansas City next weekend. |
|
| Jul 31 2022 | Gonsolin (12-1) allowed three runs on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin limited the damage to the third inning, when he gave up a solo home run to Brian Serven and a two-run single to Randal Grichuk. Gonsolin did well enough to earn his first win in his last three starts. He still has a 2.41 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 96:28 K:BB across 104.2 innings in 19 starts this year, but the shine is coming off as the right-hander has surrendered 12 runs in his last 16 innings. He'll look to steer out of the skid in his next projected start, currently scheduled to be a home start versus the Padres next weekend. |
|
| Jul 25 2022 | Gonsolin (11-1) took the loss Monday versus the Nationals. He allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four in six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After allowing no more than three runs or two earned runs in his first 16 starts, Gonsolin has been tagged for nine runs in 11 innings on either side of the All-Star break. His undefeated run came to an end Monday, as he was responsible for all of the Nationals' fifth-inning rally. The loss was the right-hander's first in over a calendar year -- his last one was July 19, 2021 against the Giants. Despite the recent regression, he still has a 2.26 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 90:27 K:BB across 99.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, though it's projected to be a tough road outing in Colorado this weekend. |
|
| Jul 14 2022 | Gonsolin pitched five innings against St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six. He did not factor in the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin had been remarkably steady coming into the contest, allowing no more than two earned runs over each of his first 16 starts. The right-hander couldn't keep that going Wednesday, as the Cardinals tagged him for five runs over the third and fourth frames. Gonsolin was down 5-0 and staring at his first loss when he departed after the fifth inning, but Los Angeles staged a late comeback to keep his perfect 11-0 record intact. Gonsolin's next appearance will likely be on his home field during Tuesday's All-Star Game. |
|
| Jul 7 2022 | Gonsolin (11-0) earned the win over the Cubs on Thursday, pitching seven innings and allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin took another step toward an All-Star berth and consideration for the NL Cy Young Award against Chicago, running his record to a perfect 11-0 with his ninth quality start of the campaign. The right-hander's lone mistake was a fifth-inning splitter that Christopher Morel knocked for a two-run homer, but Gonsolin still managed to extend his impressive run of allowing two or fewer earned runs in each of his first 16 starts. He hadn't completed seven frames until his previous outing Friday against San Diego, but he's now hit that mark in two straight appearances. Gonsolin's strikeout numbers (8.1 K/9) aren't overwhelming, and he may be a bit lucky with a .183 BABIP on the campaign, but his standout season probably deserves more attention than its getting. In addition to the perfect 11-0 record, Gonsolin leads all qualified MLB hurlers with a 1.62 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and .157 batting-average against. |
|
| Jul 1 2022 | Gonsolin (10-0) allowed a run on four hits and no walks while striking out eight over 7.2 innings to earn the win Friday over the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was both dominant and efficient, needing 92 pitches (73 strikes) to get through his longest start of the season. Only a Trent Grisham solo shot blemished his line in this one, which saw Gonsolin become the first National League pitcher to reach 10 wins this year. He's posted an excellent 1.54 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 77:23 K:BB through 81.2 innings in his 15 starts. The right-hander will look to keep up his strong play in a projected home start versus the Rockies next week. |
|
| Jun 26 2022 | Gonsolin allowed a run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was in line for a hard-luck loss until the Dodgers' offense woke up in the ninth inning. While he fell short of a quality start for the second outing in a row, he's still yet to give up more than two earned runs in any appearance this season. The right-hander has a 1.58 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 69:23 K:BB across 74 innings in 14 starts. He remains undefeated at 9-0 this year, and he'll look to push his win total into double digits in a home start versus the Padres next week. |
|
| Jun 21 2022 | Gonsolin (9-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Reds after giving up two runs on three hits with four strikeouts and one walk over five innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander threw only 58 of his 87 pitches for strikes but generated 19 swinging strikes, as the only damage against him came on solo homers from Jonathan India and Albert Almora. The five-inning effort breaks a streak of six starts of at least six frames for Gonsolin, though he was able to extend his win streak to five consecutive outings. He has a 1.58 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB across 68.1 innings this season. |
|
| Jun 14 2022 | Gonsolin (8-0) allowed a hit and two walks over 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Angels on Tuesday. He struck out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin pitched into the seventh inning, which has been a rarity for him throughout his career. The Angels couldn't get anything going against the right-hander, who has now allowed only three runs in 33 innings at home in 2022. He lowered his ERA to 1.42 with a 0.82 WHIP and 60:20 K:BB across 63.1 innings in 12 starts overall. Gonsolin projects for a favorable road start against the Reds next week. |
|
| Jun 8 2022 | Gonsolin (7-0) got the win Wednesday after he pitched six innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out five versus the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was in full control Wednesday, limiting the White Sox to just one run on a Jake Burger solo homer in the bottom of the fifth inning. He has now rattled off five straight quality starts and has six total on the season. The 28-year-old has earned a win in four consecutive outings and now owns a superb 1.58 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 54 strikeouts over 57 innings in 11 starts this year. |
|
| Jun 3 2022 | Gonsolin (6-0) earned the win over the Mets on Thursday, pitching six scoreless innings and allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has been outstanding without being overpowering this season, and he made easy work of one of the league's best offenses Thursday, allowing only three baserunners while fanning five. The right-hander pitched exactly six innings for his fourth straight outing, and he has picked up a win while notching a quality start in three of those contests. Overall, Gonsolin has yet to give up more than two runs in any appearance this season and is tied for the MLB lead with six victories. His 1.59 ERA ranks third in the majors, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is expected to take place in Chicago against the White Sox next week. |
|
| May 29 2022 | Gonsolin (5-0) earned the win over Arizona on Saturday, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out seven batters. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin gave up a pair of second-inning runs but nothing else and got just enough help from his offense to keep his record perfect at 5-0. The right-hander struck out exactly seven batters for the third straight game and has tossed exactly six innings in each contest during that span. Gonsolin has yet to allow more than two runs in an outing this season, leading to a sparkling 1.80 ERA over 45 innings. He's already earned a career-best five wins this season, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is expected to come at home against the Mets on Thursday. |
|
| May 26 2022 | Gonsolin will start Saturday against Arizona, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was originally slated to start Friday, but the Dodgers have opted to give him an extra day of rest. The team has not announced Friday's starter, but Ryan Pepiot appears to be a likely candidate. |
|
| May 22 2022 | Gonsolin allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings during Sunday's loss to the Phillies. He didn't factor into the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin logged a second consecutive quality start Sunday, but he was forced to settle for a no-decision in the low-scoring matchup. Although he was unable to pick up his fifth win, the right-hander matched his season-high strikeout total and continued his strong start to the season in which he's posted a 1.62 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 39 innings over eight starts. Gonsolin tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Arizona on Friday. |
|
| May 16 2022 | Gonsolin (4-0) earned the win over Arizona on Monday, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin picked up his second quality start of the campaign, tying his season high in innings and racking up his highest strikeout total of 2022. The right-hander gave the Dodgers 92 pitches, helping to conserve the bullpen near the tail end of a stretch of 14 games in 12 days. Gonsolin has been excellent for Los Angeles this season, posting a perfect 4-0 record while compiling a 1.64 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 33 innings. His 30:15 K:BB isn't ideal, but he's giving up so few hits that the walks haven't been much of a hindrance thus far. |
|
| May 11 2022 | Gonsolin (3-0) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up one hit and four walks over five scoreless innings in an 11-1 victory over the Pirates. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander wasn't exactly sharp, tossing 49 of 84 pitches before exiting, but Pittsburgh couldn't make much solid contact against Gonsolin and his offense handed him a 2-0 lead before he even stepped on the mound. He's lasted six frames only once in six starts and his 21.1 percent strikeout rate is a career low, but Gonsolin's still managed to post a 1.33 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 27 innings. |
|
| May 5 2022 | Gonsolin (2-0) earned the win Wednesday against the Giants, tossing five innings and allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brandon Crawford got to Gonsolin for a second-inning solo home run, but that was the only tally the Giants were able to record against him Wednesday. The right-hander again didn't go very deep in the outing -- he hasn't thrown more than 83 pitches in a start this season -- but he hung around long enough to earn his second victory. Gonsolin has taken full advantage of his opportunity to begin the season in the rotation, registering a 1.64 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 22 innings despite a less promising 18:9 K:BB. He's tentatively slated to make his next start in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. |
|
| May 4 2022 | Gonsolin is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since Los Angeles had two off days this week, manager Dave Roberts didn't immediately commit to having Gonsolin pick up his start this week, but he'll end up staying on turn in the rotation. He's been sharp through his first four starts this season, submitting a 1.59 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB across 17 innings. |
|
| Apr 26 2022 | Gonsolin registered a no-decision during Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Arizona, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts in four innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin retired nine of 10 batters faced in the first, second and fourth innings but ran into trouble in the third, when four baserunners and an error led to three runs and a tie game. The damage amounts to the worst start of the season for the 27-year-old with the one bright side being the five strikeout in four innings while he previously had eight total in 13 innings. He's currently slated to pitch next on Tuesday against San Francisco. |
|
| Apr 20 2022 | Gonsolin (1-0) earned the win Wednesday against Atlanta after allowing one hit with three walks and three strikeouts across six scoreless innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander gave up only one run over his first two starts of the season, but he finally pitched deep enough Wednesday to pick up his first victory. Gonsolin threw 83 pitches as he continues to build up to a full starter's workload and has a 0.69 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 13 frames this year. He lines up for a start early next week against the Diamondbacks on the road. |
|
| Apr 16 2022 | Gonsolin didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 3-1 win over Cincinnati, allowing three hits and three walks with two strikeouts in four scoreless innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin permitted baserunners in each inning but was able to escape unscathed, most notably dodging a bases-loaded jam in the third inning. The 27-year-old has now allowed just one run through two starts, though he's only pitched seven total innings and hasn't made it past 74 pitches. He's tentatively lined up to take on Atlanta on Wednesday. |
|
| Apr 9 2022 | Gonsolin wasn't involved in the decision Saturday against the Rockies after giving up one run on five hits and a walk while striking out three across five innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin couldn't have asked for a tougher environment to make his season debut, but he looked sharp and ended just three outs away from posting a quality start. Gonsolin started the second game of the series just because Clayton Kershaw wasn't slated to pitch at Coors Field, and Gonsoin should be back on the mound next week in the series against the Reds. |
|
| Apr 7 2022 | Gonsolin will start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was projected to take either the fourth or fifth turn through the rotation, which would have lined him up for a start in the team's second series against the Twins. However, Clayton Kershaw won't start during the Dodgers three-game set at Colorado, with Gonsolin instead stepping in. Gonsolin has an excellent career 2.85 ERA, though he has failed to throw more than 55.2 innings at the major-league level in a single season. |
|
| Mar 27 2022 | Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin is leading the competition to serve as the Dodgers' fifth starter, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin served mainly as a starter last year and recorded a 3.23 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 55.2 innings across 15 appearances (13 starts). He's been competing with Andrew Heaney and Tyler Anderson for a starting role in camp, but Gonsolin is the leading candidate for the fifth spot in the rotation. Roberts said Heaney will likely make at least one turn through the rotation early in the year since Trevor Bauer (not injury related) is on administrative leave, but Gonsolin appears to be in line for a more permanent starting role. |
|
| Oct 11 2021 | Gonsolin said he's scheduled to pitch in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Giants on Tuesday, though he's not certain whether he'll start or come out of the bullpen, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Dave Roberts doesn't want to commit on a starter ahead of Monday's Game 3, though it appears it will be Gonsolin handling the bulk of the innings Tuesday, regardless of whether he starts or follows an opener. Clayton Kershaw (forearm) won't make a postseason return, so Gonsolin lines up as the Dodgers' No. 4 starter behind Walker Buehler, Julio Urias and Max Scherzer for the duration of the playoff run. |
|
| Sep 30 2021 | Gonsolin got a no-decision in Thursday's 8-3 victory over San Diego, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Los Angeles scored early to give Gonsolin an initial lead and the righty did well enough through the game's first four innings, permitting just a solo home run, but served up a Fernando Tatis home run in the fifth that prompted his removal. The most encouraging takeaway is the 78 pitches Gonsolin tossed -- 10 more than any of his previous four starts since coming off the IL earlier this month. This is more than likely the 27-year-old's final regular-season appearance of 2021 and he concludes the campaign with a 4-1 record across 17 appearances, a 3.32 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 65:34 K:BB. |
|
| Sep 25 2021 | Gonsolin (4-1) got the win in Friday's 4-2 victory over Arizona, allowing two runs on three hits with seven strikeouts in five innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Los Angeles jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and never looked back as Gonsolin permitted just three baserunners en route to his fourth win of the season. Although he hasn't been able to pitch deep into games consistently, the 27-year-old has been effective with an even 3.00 ERA with 60 strikeouts in 51 innings this season. |
|
| Sep 21 2021 | Gonsolin will draw a start Friday versus the Diamondbacks, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers decided to give Clayton Kershaw an additional day of rest and Gonsolin will pitch for him Friday. After coming in as a reliever Sunday behind Kershaw, the 27-year-old will make his third start since returning from the 10-day injured list Sept. 9. In his previous two starts, he surrendered one run over eight innings while striking out nine. |
|
| Sep 20 2021 | Gonsolin tossed 2.1 innings out of the bullpen in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Reds, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was denied a second start of the week after the Dodgers opted to use him Sunday behind Clayton Kershaw, who was on a limited pitch count in his second outing since returning from the 60-day injured list. While the setup still seemingly put Gonsolin in favorable position to potentially scoop up a win, Kershaw ended up being the pitcher of record after he departed with a 6-1 lead after five innings. Gonsolin should slot back into the Los Angeles rotation when a fifth starter is next needed Saturday in Arizona. |
|
| Sep 17 2021 | Gonsolin will pitch multiple innings in relief of Clayton Kershaw on Sunday before returning to the starting rotation next week, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Dodgers having an off day this upcoming Monday, the club can utilize Gonsolin on Sunday in a long relief role and have Julio Urias start on full rest Tuesday against the Rockies. Gonsolin tentatively lines up to make his next start Sept. 25 against Arizona. |
|
| Sep 14 2021 | Gonsolin (3-1) got the win in Tuesday's 8-4 victory over Arizona, allowing two hits and two walks with six strikeouts in five innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his second start since returning from injury, Gonsolin was excellent Tuesday with more strikeouts than baserunners allowed. The 27-year-old righty needed just 67 pitches to navigate five innings and there's no doubt he would've pitched deeper had Los Angeles' not been ramping up Gonsolin's workload gradually for the stretch run and playoffs. |
|
| Sep 8 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) will be activated off the 10-day injured list Thursday and will start at St. Louis, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has spent nearly six weeks on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation, but he'll be rejoining the active roster Thursday to start in the series finale versus the Cardinals. The right-hander threw 41 pitches over 2.1 innings during his rehab outing with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, so he'll still face some workload limitations for at least a couple starts. |
|
| Sep 6 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list to start or work as primary pitcher Thursday against the Cardinals or Friday against the Padres, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: When he met with the media Monday, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin "will be activated soon," after the right-hander checked out fine following his 41-pitch rehab start Saturday with High-A Rancho Cucamonga. Assuming Gonsolin is kept on a normal four-day rest schedule, he would be an option to take the hill for the Dodgers' series finale Thursday in St. Louis, if Roberts want to give Julio Urias an additional day of rest between starts. In the event the Dodgers prefer to keep Urias on a normal starting schedule, Gonsolin would likely throw a simulated game or make another rehab appearance this weekend before making his return from the 10-day injured list at some point next week. Gonsolin has been sidelined since July 31 with right shoulder inflammation. |
|
| Sep 5 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) felt good after Saturday's rehab start and could be activated soon, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin likely won't pitch in the Dodgers' upcoming series against the Cardinals, but the right-hander has a chance to return after just one rehab appearance. The 27-year-old allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out one in 2.1 innings at Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday. |
|
| Sep 3 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin felt good after he threw a simulated game Monday and will now return to game action for the first time since late July. The right-hander will likely require more than one rehab appearance given the length of his absence, but he's getting closer to rejoining the major-league squad. |
|
| Aug 30 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) threw a simulated game Monday and is expected to report to a minor-league affiliate for a three-inning rehab start soon, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Monday's simulated game was apparently a success, as he's now on the cusp of a rehab assignment. Gonsolin has been on the injured list for about a month with right shoulder inflammation, so he'll likely need at least a couple starts in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers. |
|
| Aug 28 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) will throw a simulated game Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has been out for just shy of a month while dealing with shoulder inflammation. He's taking steps in the right direction, though he's only expected to throw two innings Monday, so he still has plenty of work to do being being activated from the injured list. |
|
| Aug 19 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) successfully completed a bullpen session Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin threw 20-25 pitches in the session, all of which were fastballs. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Gonsolin's shoulder felt strong Wednesday, though there has been no report of how Gonsolin was feeling after throwing. Assuming his health checks out, Gonsolin will presumably progress to throwing all of his pitches before likely embarking on a rehab assignment. |
|
| Aug 18 2021 | Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin (shoulder) will throw a fastball-only bullpen session Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: If the Thursday session goes well, Gonsolin figures to incorporate off-speed pitches into his bullpen work and ultimately progress to facing live batters. Assuming he requires a minor-league rehab assignment, the righty should be back with the Dodgers near the end of August, if not a bit later. |
|
| Aug 13 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) began a throwing program Aug. 9 and could throw a bullpen session at some point this weekend, per MLB.com. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander played catch Monday for the first time since landing on the injured list July 31, and manager Dave Roberts indicated that he could be ready to toss a bullpen session in New York in the coming days. Roberts also indicated that Gonsolin will both pitch simulated games and go on a rehab assignment prior to returning to the big club, so he likely remains weeks away from a return. When Gonsolin is ready to rejoin the Dodgers, the team will evaluate whether he will work as a starter or a reliever. |
|
| Aug 7 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) has not picked up a baseball since hitting the 10-day injured list July 31, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation after walking five batters over 1.2 innings against Atlanta on July 31. He's eligible to come off the IL on Tuesday, but it's apparent that Gonsolin won't come close to returning that soon. The Dodgers' recent signing of Cole Hamels could indicate that they expect Gonsolin to remain out for a considerable period of time. |
|
| Jul 31 2021 | Gonsolin was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander has apparently been dealing with the shoulder issue on and off, per Eric Stephen of SBNation.com, and he'll head to the injured list after surrendering two runs on a hit and five walks over 1.2 innings Friday against the Diamondbacks. It's unclear how long Gonsolin is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be activated Aug. 10 at Philadelphia. |
|
| Jul 24 2021 | Gonsolin (2-1) won Saturday's 1-0 game against Colorado, allowing two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was masterful against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing just a single runner past first base and requiring 81 pitches to get through 5.1 innings. The innings and pitch count are among season highs as Gonsolin works back into form and the righty owns a sterling 2.38 ERA through nine starts. |
|
| Jul 20 2021 | Gonsolin (1-1) allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings as he took the loss Monday against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin got off to a horrible start, coughing up a two-run homer to Buster Posey and a solo blast to Wilmer Flores in back-to-back at-bats in the first inning. He was able to keep the Giants off the scoreboard for the remainder of his outing, but the righty still struggled to find the strike zone at times and was pulled in the fourth after back-to-back walks. Gonsolin continues to be on a limited pitch count as he builds back up to a normal workload, but he's done a good job of run prevention aside from Monday's performance. He's allowed one run or fewer in all of his other outings; however, he's only finished five innings once, and his 1.47 WHIP and 34:19 K:BB over 28.2 innings don't look great despite his 2.83 ERA. Gonsolin is projected for a favorable home start against the Rockies over the weekend. |
|
| Jul 11 2021 | Gonsolin received a no-decision in Sunday's 7-4 win against Arizona, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with six strikeouts. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin permitted his lone run on a Stephen Vogt home run in the fourth as Manager Dave Roberts looks to stretch the righty back into starter form - Gonsolin tossed a season high 83 pitches Sunday. He enters the season's midway point with six starts in eight appearances and a 2.13 ERA, though a 3.41 FIP suggests regression is looming. |
|
| Jul 6 2021 | Gonsolin took a no-decision during Tuesday's loss despite holding the Marlins scoreless across 5.1 innings. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin turned in his longest and best start of the season, stretching out to 72 pitches, including 45 for strikes. It was the third time in his career that the right-hander has gone at least five innings and not allowed a run. Gonsolin has spent time both in the rotation and out of the bullpen this season while slowly building up his endurance since returning from the injured list in late June. Across 21.1 innings, the 27-year-old has put together a 2.11 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. He lines up to take the mound again Sunday against the Diamondbacks. |
|
| Jul 2 2021 | Gonsolin (1-0) earned the win in relief Thursday against the Nationals after tossing three innings of one-run ball, giving up two hits and three walks while fanning four. He also tossed a wild pitch. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin operated out of the bullpen after the two opening hurlers, Victor Gonzalez and Phil Bickford, combined to pitch the opening frame. The right-hander earned his first win of the season and while he's yet to pitch more than four complete innings in any of his appearances, he's been limiting the damage and owns a 2.81 ERA across 16 innings of work. He's slated to take the mound next week on the road against the Marlins. |
|
| Jul 1 2021 | Gonsolin will follow opener Victor Gonzalez against the Nationals on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has topped out at four innings since returning from the injured list in early June, so following an opener could provide a better opportunity to qualify for a potential victory. The right-hander has pitched well enough despite the shorter starts with a 2.77 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB across 13 innings. |
|
| Jun 26 2021 | Gonsolin allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out seven over four innings Friday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision and walked in his only plate appearance of the evening. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin had his best outing of the season Friday in his fourth start since returning from the injured list. The only hit he allowed was a first-inning solo home run off the bat of Kris Bryant. He would then work around two walks to pitch three more scoreless innings. The 27-year-old tossed 69 pitches over a season-high four innings and also struck out a season-high seven batters, six of which came from his splitter. Gonsolin now owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB over 13 innings and lines up to face the Nationals next week. |
|
| Jun 23 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) is listed the Dodgers' probable pitcher Friday against the Cubs, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was limited to 3.2 innings during Sunday's start after coming out of his previous outing with shoulder soreness, but it appears he won't miss a turn through the rotation, though he could still have some workload limitations. Gonsolin has allowed three runs on nine hits with an 11:8 K:BB over nine innings through his first three starts of 2021. |
|
| Jun 20 2021 | Gonsolin dealt with shoulder soreness after his last start and wasn't pushed in Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out two in 3.2 innings Sunday but didn't factor into the decision. Manager Dave Roberts said after the game that he wanted to limit the right-hander's workload since he displayed decreased velocity due to his shoulder soreness Sunday. Roberts said that the team has been managing the issue, and Gonsolin tentatively lines up to start at home against the Cubs on Friday if he's healthy enough to pitch. |
|
| Jun 15 2021 | Gonsolin allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings against the Phillies on Monday. He did not factor into the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin looked a bit more comfortable in his second start back since returning from the injured list. He had a rocky first inning in which he gave up a run after allowing two hits and two walks but settled in pretty nicely thereafter. The 27-year-old still struggled a bit with his command, as he needed 81 pitches to get through 3.2 innings and has eight walks over 5.1 innings so far this year. He'll take a 3.38 ERA into a favorable matchup against the plummeting Diamondbacks this weekend. |
|
| Jun 9 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) allowed a run on two hits and five walks with four strikeouts in 1.2 innings versus Pittsburgh on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was expected to be on a workload limit, but he didn't make things easier on himself. The right-hander only threw 33 of his 66 pitches for strikes in the abbreviated outing. He also allowed an RBI single to Gregory Polanco, which was Pittsburgh's only run in the contest. Gonsolin will likely remain on a pitch count for a bit longer. He'll look to improve his command in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week versus Philadelphia. |
|
| Jun 8 2021 | Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Tuesday that Gonsolin (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was reported Sunday that the Dodgers were expected to activate Gonsolin to make his 2021 debut Wednesday. Roberts confirmed that the right-hander will take the ball during Game 2 of the three-game set, though it's not yet known how the club will make room for him on the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Gonsolin posted a strong 2.31 ERA and 0.84 WHIP across 46.2 innings last season. |
|
| Jun 6 2021 | The Dodgers are expected to reinstate Gonsolin (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin will step into the rotation spot that has most recently been occupied by David Price, who has worked as an opening pitcher in bullpen games the last three times his turn has come up. The Dodgers will look for Gonsolin to provide more length after the right-hander built up his pitch count to 60 (over 3.2 innings) in his third and final rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City on June 3. Gonsolin could be capped at around 75 pitches as he steps into the rotation, but he shouldn't face many restrictions in any subsequent starts he makes after Wednesday. |
|
| Jun 4 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) has joined the Dodgers in Atlanta and will make his season debut next week against the Pirates, a series which begins Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin made the Dodgers' Opening Day roster but didn't pitch in a game before landing on the injured list in early April due to right shoulder inflammation. He's ready to go now following three rehab starts and will head straight to the starting rotation, though he's likely to be on a pitch count for his first few outings. He didn't throw more than 3.2 innings in any of his rehab appearances, as a stomach bug limited him to 60 pitches in his latest start despite the Dodgers hoping he'd get to 75. |
|
| May 31 2021 | Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Gonsolin (shoulder) will make one more rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City before returning from the 60-day injured list next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin most recently made his second rehab start for Oklahoma City on May 28, tossing 3.2 innings (55 pitches) in that outing. The Dodgers likely want to see the right-hander get stretched out closer to 75 pitches before the team feels comfortable inserting him into the big-league rotation. If all goes well during his upcoming turn with Oklahoma City -- which will likely come Wednesday or Thursday -- Gonsolin would line up to make his first start with the Dodgers at some point during next week's three-game series in Pittsburgh, which begins June 8. |
|
| May 29 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) could return to the major-league club after one more rehab start, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin made his second rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday and gave up three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out four in 3.2 innings. Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Gonsolin could rejoin the team if the right-hander is able to pitch around five innings or 75 pitches in his next appearance. Gonsolin was slated to begin the year in a bullpen role before he suffered the injury, but he should compete with David Price for the fifth spot in the rotation since Dustin May (elbow) is out for the season. |
|
| May 27 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) will need two more rehab starts prior to being activated from the injured list, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin worked three scoreless innings in his first rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He threw 38 pitches, a positive as he continues to build up his workload. Assuming he stays on a normal schedule, Gonsolin should line up to take the mound for the big-league club in early June. |
|
| May 23 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) tossed three scoreless frames in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He gave up one hit (a double) and struck out three while walking none over his 38-pitch appearance. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers initially planned for Gonsolin to cover only two innings in his first rehab outing, but because he was economical with his pitch count over the initial two frames, he was allowed to work an extra inning. Gonsolin looked about as sharp as the Dodgers could have hoped in his first game action of the season, and he should be cleared to push his pitch count above 50 when he makes his second rehab start later this week. Gonsolin appears on track to return from the 60-day injured list and join the big-league rotation at some point in early June. |
|
| May 22 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Oklahoma City Dodgers broadcaster Alex Freedman reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old is expected to throw two innings during his first rehab appearance as he builds up his stamina. The Dodgers previously indicated they want Gonsolin stretched out to at least four innings before being activated from the injured list, so he's poised to make a few starts in the minors. |
|
| May 18 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City this week for a rehab assignment and could start Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old is expected to cover two innings in his first rehab start as he builds up to a starter's workload. The Dodgers previously said they want the right-hander built up to at least four innings before bringing him back from the shelf, so he's ticketed for at least a few starts in the minors. Gonsolin was also transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, so he isn't eligible to be activated until May 31. |
|
| May 17 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has been out since the start of the year with right shoulder inflammation, so he's already served most of the required 60 days. He's nearing a return to action, as he's already thrown one simulated game and is set to throw another this week, but he now can't rejoin the active roster before May 31. The move clears a spot on the Dodgers' 40-man roster for the team to add new signing Albert Pujols. |
|
| May 16 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) will throw three innings in a simulated game during the middle of the upcoming week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin appears to be progressing as he works his way back to the big-league squad. He reportedly threw a two-inning bullpen last week, and his upcoming three-frame session will be another step in the right direction. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Gonsolin could be activated once he's stretched out to four innings, so his return is on the horizon but not imminent. |
|
| May 11 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) is scheduled to pitch two innings against live hitters this week, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old is building up as a starter after being shut down from throwing in early April. Gonsolin should receive a look in the starting rotation once fully cleared with Dustin May (elbow) lost for the season. |
|
| May 9 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) is slated to throw a bullpen session Sunday and a simulated game later in the week, Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was placed on the 10-day injured list and shut down from throwing in early April, but he has since been cleared to begin tossing bullpens. Upon his return, Gonsolin is likely to be looked at as a rotation option to replace the injured Dustin May (elbow). |
|
| May 2 2021 | Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin (shoulder) is being built up as a starter and is about 3-to-4 weeks from being available, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old will need to be built up to about five innings and 75 pitches before being available, which will take a few weeks after he was forced to delay the start of his throwing program in mid-April. Gonsolin figures to go on a minor-league rehab assignment and could be a rotation option for the Dodgers once cleared, depending on the severity of Dustin May's arm injury. |
|
| Apr 30 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin made the Dodgers' Opening Day roster but landed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation before he got the chance to make his season debut. An attempt to start his throwing program in mid-April was halted due to continued soreness, but he's making progress again now. The Dodgers have yet to provide a clear timetable for his return. |
|
| Apr 24 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) began a throwing program at the Dodgers' alternate training site Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin attempted to start throwing two weeks ago but was still feeling too much soreness in his shoulder. He's still in the early stages, throwing long toss but not yet advancing to mound work, so it will still be a while before he's ready to return to the active roster. |
|
| Apr 11 2021 | Gonsolin (shoulder) didn't throw a bullpen session Sunday since he's still experiencing soreness, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Sunday, but manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander is "a ways away" from being activated. Gonsolin landed on the injured list April 4 with right shoulder inflammation and has yet to make his season debut. |
|
| Apr 4 2021 | The Dodgers placed Gonsolin on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin didn't appear in any of the Dodgers' first three games of the season, so his IL stint can be backdated to April 3. According to Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times, manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin had been dealing with the injury for "the last few days," so the Dodgers will shut him down temporarily with the hope his inflammation calms down. Los Angeles called up Dennis Santana from the taxi squad in a corresponding move. |
|
| Mar 29 2021 | Gonsolin will begin the year in a bullpen role for the Dodgers, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin battled for a starting spot in Los Angeles' rotation throughout the spring, but an embarrassment of riches has resulted in a relief role for the right-hander. Gonsolin will join Jimmy Nelson and David Price in a multi-inning relief role, giving manager Dave Roberts plenty of weapons at his disposal out of the bullpen. |
|
| Mar 16 2021 | Gonsolin has pitched six scoreless innings over three outings this spring, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has been nearly perfect thus far in Cactus League play as he makes his case to be included in the Dodgers' starting rotation. The right-hander has posted a 2.60 ERA (3.02 FIP) and 0.92 WHIP through 86.2 big-league innings, which would guarantee him a starting role in almost any other rotation. Unfortunately for him, Los Angeles has a wealth of starting pitching talent, so Gonsolin could open the campaign in the bullpen. However, Juan Toribio of MLB.com notes that veteran starter David Price is being looked at as a multi-inning relief option, which could open the door for Gonsolin to start. |
|
| Oct 27 2020 | Gonsolin recorded the 1.2 innings of work Tuesday, allowing one run, three hits and two walks while striking out four in a win over the Rays in Game 6 of the World Series. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin struggled again on Tuesday, with his only mistake being a solo home run to Randy Arozarena in the first inning. The 26-year-old threw 30 of his 48 pitches for strikes. The right-hander had a great regular season but was unable to replicate this in the postseason. |
|
| Oct 26 2020 | Gonsolin will be a conventional starter, not an opener, in Game 6 of the World Series against the Rays on Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has been used in shorter outings thus far in the postseason, throwing 7.2 innings across three appearances. He hasn't had much success, posting a 9.39 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP while walking 19.4 percent of opposing batters. While the Dodgers will hope to get at least five innings out of him, it's far from guaranteed he lasts that long, as they'll have a full bullpen worth of rested relievers ready to step in following Monday's off day should his struggles continue. |
|
| Oct 21 2020 | Gonsolin recorded 1.1 innings of work Wednesday, allowing one run, one hit and one walk while fanning one in a loss to the Rays in Game 2 of the World Series. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin struggled in his brief appearance, allowing a solo home run to Brandon Lowe in the first inning. The 26-year-old threw 16 of his 29 pitches for strikes and recorded a first-pitch strike on four of the six batters that he faced. The right-hander has now allowed eight earned runs in 7.2 innings of work throughout the postseason. |
|
| Oct 20 2020 | Gonsolin will start Game 2 of the World Series against the Rays on Wednesday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old threw 41 pitches over two innings during Game 7 of the NLCS against the Braves on Sunday, so he'll be taking the mound on two days' rest. Gonsolin figures to be on a fairly short leash, and Dustin May and Julio Urias (both of whom also pitched in Game 7) will be available as well, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. Gonsolin has labored in his two postseason outings, giving up seven runs on five hits with eight strikeouts and six walks over 6.1 innings. |
|
| Oct 18 2020 | Gonsolin is expected to enter Sunday's Game 7 against Atlanta after starter Dustin May, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: May pitched in Friday's game and is thus expected to be used as an opener rather than as a traditional starter in Game 7 of the NLCS. Gonsolin has not pitched since Tuesday's Game 2 loss, so he would be pitching on normal rest. |
|
| Oct 14 2020 | Gonsolin allowed five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings Tuesday as he was charged with the loss in Game 2 of the NLCS against Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin started Game 2 on short notice and held Atlanta's potent offense in check over the first three innings. However, he faltered over the fourth and fifth innings prior to his removal. The right-hander was forced to settle for the loss in his first postseason appearance, but he had a relatively high strikeout rate during his start. It's unclear whether Gonsolin could start later in the postseason. |
|
| Oct 13 2020 | Gonsolin will start Game 2 of the NLCS against the Braves on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin will step in to replace Clayton Kershaw, who was scratched due to back spasms. It will be his first career postseason appearance. Gonsolin is coming off a regular season in which he recorded a 2.31 ERA in eight starts and one relief appearance, striking out 26.1 percent of opposing batters while walking just 4.0 percent. |
|
| Sep 27 2020 | Gonsolin (2-2) earned the win Saturday against the Angels. He allowed four runs on seven hits while fanning six across six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin gave up a season-worst four runs in his final start of the regular season, but he still earned the win as the offense backed him up. Gonsolin ends the regular season with a 2.31 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in nine appearances (eight starts), besting what he did during the 2019 season when he posted a 2.93 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP across 11 appearances (six starts). |
|
| Sep 20 2020 | Gonsolin (1-2) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out 10. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin appeared to be on his way to a dominant outing after striking out each of the first six Rockies he faced. The right-hander ran into trouble in the fourth, however, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk. He bounced back to finish the start with a three up, three down fifth. Despite falling to 1-2, Gonsolin has been a pleasant surprise for the Dodgers this season, posting a robust 1.77 ERA and 40:7 K:BB across 40.2 innings. He's slated to make his final regular-season start Saturday against the Angels. |
|
| Sep 15 2020 | Gonsolin (1-1) allowed a run on four hits and struck out two over seven innings in a win over the Padres on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While he wasn't fanning many batters, Gonsolin did a good job of limiting any potential damage. The 26-year-old now has a 1.51 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 30 strikeouts in 35.2 innings across seven outings (six starts). Gonsolin should remain in the rotation a bit longer with Walker Buehler (finger) out. Gonsolin's next start is expected to be Sunday in Colorado. |
|
| Sep 11 2020 | Gonsolin will rejoin the Dodgers' starting rotation next week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old covered five innings out of the bullpen Thursday after Dustin May exited with a foot injury, so his next start won't come before Tuesday. Regardless of May's status for his next start, the placement of Walker Buehler (finger) on the injured list opens up a rotation spot. Gonsolin has a 1.57 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB over 28.2 innings through six outings this season. |
|
| Sep 10 2020 | Manager Dave Roberts announced Thursday that Gonsolin is currently considered available out of the bullpen, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Roberts said Gonsolin is available out of the bullpen if needed, the right-hander seems to be a strong candidate to start Sunday's game against the Astros. Gonsolin holds a stellar 0.76 ERA across 23.2 innings pitched on the campaign. |
|
| Sep 5 2020 | Gonsolin pitched six innings against Colorado on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits while striking out eight. He did not factor in the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has yet to record a decision this season, but he has allowed only two earned runs through 23.2 innings while compiling an impressive 25:5 K:BB. He finally allowed his first long ball of the season Saturday -- a solo shot by Charlie Blackmon in the fourth inning -- but has given up only 12 hits en route to a sparkling 0.72 ERA. The right-hander has essentially forced the Dodgers to keep him in the rotation given his excellence on the campaign, and he'll get his next opportunity to toe the mound at home against Houston next Saturday. |
|
| Aug 31 2020 | Manager Dave Roberts indicated Sunday that Gonsolin will make his next start, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has been moving up and down between the big-league club and the team's alternate training site through much of the season, but it appears that the right-hander is gaining stability in the rotation thanks to his excellent work thus far. While he has yet to pick up a win, Gonsolin has allowed only one earned run in 17.2 innings while posting a 0.79 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB on the season. It has not yet been announced when he will next take the mound or if another starter will get bumped from the rotation when Walker Buehler (hand) is activated from the injured list. |
|
| Aug 30 2020 | Gonsolin allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out five across three innings Sunday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin needed only 23 pitches to get through two innings, but struggled mightily in the third frame. He allowed the first four batters he faced to reach base and surrendered a run on a wild pitch. While he limited the damage, the inefficiency cost him the chance to qualify for a win. Assuming Walker Buehler (hand) is able to make his next start, Gonsolin is a likely candidate to be bumped from the rotation once again. |
|
| Aug 27 2020 | Gonsolin will start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Julio Urias was scheduled to take the hill for Sunday's series finale, but now the nod is going to the right-hander. Gonsolin has yet to allow a run in 14.2 innings this season. Urias will start Tuesday against Arizona. |
|
| Aug 26 2020 | Gonsolin is in San Francisco with the Dodgers as part of the team's taxi squad, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin's inclusion on the five-man squad is a no-brainer considering his contributions to the big-league team this year. The right-hander has started three games, hurling 14.2 scoreless inning while compiling a 12:2 K:BB. He figures to travel with the team on its upcoming trip to Texas following the series in San Francisco and would be first in line for a spot start if the need arises. Gonsolin last pitched in an intrasquad game at the team's alternate training site Monday, so he should be stretched out. It remains to be seen, however, when the Dodgers will give him his next start. Although they have used a six-man rotation at times this season, their upcoming schedule includes two consecutive Mondays off, potentially providing starters with an extra day of rest. |
|
| Aug 19 2020 | Gonsolin was optioned to the alternate training site Wednesday, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He has not allowed a run across three outings (14.2 innings) this season, but baseball can be an unfair game, especially for talented young players on the Dodgers. The Dodgers are off Monday and can continue with their five-man rotation (Gonsolin was occupying a sixth starter spot) until at least Aug. 30, which is after Gonsolin's option period would end. Ross Stripling has scuffled of late, so it would seem that Gonsolin could replace Stripling in the rotation if that trend continues. Otherwise he will have to bide his time until the Dodgers need a sixth starter or some length out of the bullpen. |
|
| Aug 16 2020 | Gonsolin is listed as the starter for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers don't need to go with a six-man rotation, but that seems to be the plan for now. This report comes from Gurnick, as MLB.com still lists the Dodgers' Monday and Tuesday starters as TBD. Gonsolin doesn't have the same type of ceiling that Julio Urias and Dustin May have put on display this season, but he has not allowed a run while striking out nine and walking two in 8.2 innings across two appearances this season. If he can go five-plus innings for the first time this year, he would have a decent chance of getting the win against Seattle. |
|
| Aug 13 2020 | Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin will likely make another start for the Dodgers, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It sounds like Gonsolin's strong showing against the Padres on Wednesday -- he struck out eight across 4.2 scoreless innings -- earned him at least one more turn through the rotation, though the Dodgers have yet to confirm when his next outing will come. |
|
| Aug 12 2020 | Gonsolin was recalled as expected Wednesday ahead of his scheduled start against the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin made one start for the Dodgers back in late July, holding the Diamondbacks scoreless while allowing just one hit over four innings. He now owns an excellent 2.66 ERA through his first 44 big-league innings, though his 21.6 percent strikeout rate, 9.1 percent walk rate and 41.2 percent groundball rate are all worse than league average, leading to a poor 4.96 xFIP. This appears to be just a spot start for the 26-year-old, though he should remain one of the team's top options whenever an additional starter is needed. |
|
| Aug 1 2020 | Gonsolin was optioned to the Dodgers' alternate training site Saturday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin had a nice start in his 2020 debut Friday, but he wouldn't have been available to pitch for several days after tossing four innings against the Diamondbacks. As a result, Mitchell White will take Gonsolin's place on the pitching staff now that the team's rotation is back up to full strength. |
|
| Jul 31 2020 | Gonsolin did not factor into the decision during Friday's loss after holding the Diamondbacks scoreless across four innings. He allowed one hit and a walk while striking out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Aside from giving up a leadoff double to Ketel Marte in the first inning and a walk to Kole Calhoun in the fourth, Gonsolin shut the Diamondbacks down with ease, though he only got a chance to pitch through four frames. The 26-year-old was called up ahead of his scheduled start Friday to fill in for a spot start with Alex Wood (shoulder) and Clayton Kershaw (back) on the injured list. Gonsolin found success during his rookie campaign in 2019 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB across 40 innings. With Kershaw expected to rejoin the rotation Sunday, Gonsolin's major league status may be put on hold once again. |
|
| Jul 30 2020 | Gonsolin will start Friday's game on the road against the Diamondbacks, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Gonsolin began the season at the Dodgers' alternate training site, he'll fill the team's hole in the rotation after Alex Wood (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. With Clayton Kershaw (back) expected to return Sunday or Monday, Gonsolin's appearance will likely only be a spot start. The right-hander made 11 appearances (six starts) with the Dodgers last season, posting a 2.93 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 40 innings. |
|
| Jul 29 2020 | Gonsolin is being considered to start at Arizona on Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Alex Wood (shoulder) moved to the 10-day injured list Tuesday, the Dodgers have a hole in their rotation for Friday's road tilt against the Diamondbacks. Manager Dave Roberts named four candidates to fill in as a starter, and Gonsolin may be the favorite given that he is the only pitcher among the group with major-league experience. The right-hander fared well in 40 innings with the Dodgers last season, going 4-2 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB. |
|
| Jul 18 2020 | Gonsolin was optioned to the Dodgers' alternate training site Friday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin had missed the first several days of camp for an undisclosed reason, but he was still able to work at the team's major-league camp. However, Friday's transaction signals that he won't begin the season in the majors as he'll continue developing among some of the Dodgers' top prospects. The right-hander made 11 appearances (six starts) in the big leagues last year, posting a 2.93 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 40 innings. He could be one of the team's top options if injuries occur on the major-league pitching staff. |
|
| Jul 8 2020 | Gonsolin is taking part in workouts at the Dodgers' facility Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old missed the first few days of summer training for unspecified reasons, but he'll now begin ramping up for the start of the season. David Price opted out of the 2020 season over the weekend, which could provide Gonsolin a chance to push for a rotation spot, assuming he can get built up to a starter's workload by Opening Day. |
|
| Jul 7 2020 | Gonsolin has yet to report to Dodgers camp for undisclosed reasons, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: If Gonsolin's absence were due to COVID-19, the Dodgers wouldn't legally be able to confirm. Gonsolin is a potential rotation candidate this season after David Price announced over the weekend that he'd elected to opt out of playing this year, but if he's unable to get up to a starter's workload by Opening Day, that idea will have to be put on hold for now. |
|
| Jul 5 2020 | Gonsolin was named a candidate for the 2020 rotation Sunday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A spot in the Dodgers' 2020 starting rotation opened up Saturday when David Price announced that he would opt out of playing, and manager Dave Roberts named Gonsolin among three candidates to fill a starting role. Ross Stripling and Dustin May are also in contention for the role, but it wouldn't be surprising to see all three of them take on some starting duties during the abbreviated 2020 season. Gonsolin performed well during his first major-league stint in 2019, posting a 2.93 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 11 appearances (six starts). |
|
| Apr 29 2020 | Gonsolin's spot on the Opening Day roster could be helped by an abbreviated campaign, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was considered on the 26-man bubble before spring training was suspended, though he had been all but eliminated from consideration for the starting rotation. That could change if a 2020 season takes place, as such a scenario would potentially include expanded rosters and fewer off days. Per Moura, the Dodgers have discussed using "as many as eight starting pitchers" depending on how the schedule plays out, making Gonsolin a contender for a spot in the rotation. The right-hander started six games for the big club last season, posting a 2.89 ERA and 24:10 K:BB over 28 innings. |
|
| Mar 9 2020 | Gonsolin was not among the starters named by Dave Roberts on Monday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin has started two games during spring training and pitched three scoreless innings with three strikeouts, but he won't begin the season in the starting rotation. However, the right-hander has shown versatility in the past and could be considered for a spot in the major-league bullpen to open the season. Gonsolin made his major-league debut in 2019, recording a 2.93 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 11 appearances (six starts). |
|
| Feb 23 2020 | Gonsolin is being considered for a relief role to open the season, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Gonsolin started the Dodgers' first spring training game -- he tossed one scoreless inning in a victory -- he is competing with a host of hurlers for the final slot in the team's Opening Day rotation. While fellow rookie Dustin May is viewed as a starter and will likely begin the season in the minors (per Ken Gurnick of MLB.com), Gonsolin's role is more flexible and could include time out of the bullpen. It may take some time to see how things shake out as spring training progresses. |
|
| Feb 20 2020 | Gonsolin is slated to start the Dodgers' spring opener Saturday versus the Giants, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin will likely only throw an inning or two Saturday, but manager Dave Roberts said that the right-hander will be built up for a normal starter's workload as the spring unfolds, per Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA. Roberts' comments would seem to indicate that Gonsolin is in the mix for the Dodgers' Opening Day rotation, though the wealth of established starting options Los Angeles has on hand in addition to the fact that he still has two minor-league options remaining work against him winning a spot with the big club. |
|
| Oct 3 2019 | Gonsolin is not on the roster for the National League Division Series against the | Nationals. |
|
| Oct 3 2019 | Gonsolin is not on the roster for the National League Division Series against the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After posting a 2.93 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP over 11 appearances (six starts), the 25-year-old will not be available out of the bullpen for the first series of the postseason. Dustin May will fill Gonsolin's bullpen spot for the NLDS. |
|
| Sep 25 2019 | Gonsolin (4-2) picked up the win Tuesday against the Padres, striking out three batters across two perfect innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rich Hill pitched the first two innings before giving way to Gonsolin, who needed just 24 pitches (15 strikes) to retire all six batters he faced. It was a nice bounce-back performance from the right-hander after he allowed two runs across two innings in his previous outing. Gonsolin will likely make one more relief appearance before the end of the season as he auditions for a postseason bullpen role. |

| Sep 24 2019 | Gonsolin will throw two innings in relief against San Diego on Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rich Hill is scheduled to start and toss the first two innings with Gonsolin coming on in relief at some point thereafter. The outing is likely to be viewed as an audition for the playoffs as Gonsolin is in contention for a postseason bullpen role. |
|
| Sep 19 2019 | Gonsolin is being considered for a postseason bullpen role, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was originally scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Rays, but the Dodgers decided to bring him out of the bullpen instead in preparation for his possible postseason role. Gonsolin responded by allowing two runs on one hit in two innings and walking three batters while picking up a pair of strikeouts while being charged with a blown save. If the 25-year-old makes the postseason roster, he would most likely be used in a piggyback situation in a potential fourth game, as the Dodgers seem committed to forgoing a traditional starter should the NLDS stretch that far. |
|
| Sep 18 2019 | Gonsolin will not start Wednesday as scheduled, according to J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin was in line to take the mound for the start of Wednesday's game, but the Dodgers decided to switch things up at the last minute for the second day in a row, so Casey Sadler will get the start instead. While Gonsolin will not start Wednesday, he said he will be summoned from the bullpen at some point, so he could still pick up a win if the Dodgers put him in position to do so. |
|
| Sep 13 2019 | Gonsolin will start Wednesday's game against the Rays, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin will take the place of Rich Hill, who suffered a knee injury during Thursday night's start. The right-hander may be on a pitch count, considering he's worked just three and four frames in his last two outings, respectively. |
|
| Sep 12 2019 | Gonsolin will serve as the bulk reliever Thursday against the Orioles, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rich Hill (forearm) is only expected to pitch two innings in his first start back from the 60-day IL, leaving Gonsolin to cover the majority of innings behind him. The rookie has been sharp across 32 big-league innings this season, posting a 2.81 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB in seven appearances (six starts). |
|
| Sep 11 2019 | It is unclear when Gonsolin will pitch next after it was announced that Hyun-Jin Ryu will start Saturday's game against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Dodgers are piggybacking Ross Stripling and Dustin May on Wednesday and then Rich Hill, Clayton Kershaw, Ryu and Walker Buehler will start the next four games. Gonsolin will likely be available to relieve Ryu on Saturday, but it's unclear if he will make any more starts in the near future. |
|
| Sep 7 2019 | Gonsolin (2-2) allowed one run on two hits and four walks whole striking out five in four innings. He took the loss in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin made a mess of the first inning, loading the bases with two singles and a walk. He then allowed a run on Kevin Pillar's groundout, which would account for the only run of the game. The 25-year-old would only allow two more walks over the next three innings. He's pitched to a 2.81 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 32 innings this season. With the return of Rich Hill (forearm) to the rotation Thursday, Gonsolin's next start is expected to come on six days rest versus the Mets next Saturday. |
|
| Sep 4 2019 | Gonsolin is available out of the bullpen Wednesday and won't starting Friday's game against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonsolin isn't making an official move to the bullpen as he's still in play to start Saturday -- assuming he doesn't pitch Wednesday -- but the Dodgers will remain flexible with their starting rotation since the three-game set versus San Francisco is bookended by scheduled off days. The 25-year-old has a 2.89 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over his first six major-league outings. |
