Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin pitched five scoreless innings in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out four. Although his strikeouts decreased in this outing, holding a tough Diamondbacks offense to no runs is certainly something to be happy about. Gonsolin had two easy matchups against the Marlins in each of his first two starts, so this outing proved that those weren't flukes. The 30-year-old has been nothing but solid since returning to the mound for the first time since 2023, and should be rostered in most fantasy leagues with the Dodgers' offense backing him.

Instead of rolling with a bullpen game in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Tony Gonsolin will make his next start on four days of rest. Gonsolin was originally scheduled to take his next turn in the starting rotation on Tuesday against the Athletics, so this move represents a downgrade for fantasy streaming purposes. Not only will the 30-year-old veteran be pitching on short rest, but he'll be facing a Diamondbacks team that has the fourth-best OPS (.762) at their home ballpark. After a late start to the 2025 season due to injury, Gonsolin has been solid in two starts against the lowly Miami Marlins, allowing five earned runs on 10 hits (two homers) while walking only two and striking out 17 in 11 innings pitched.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin made his season debut against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The right-hander made his first start since 2023 after recovering from Tommy John surgery and a back issue this spring. He didn't seem to miss a beat as Gonsolin made easy work of the Marlins lineup. The right-hander went six innings, allowing three earned runs on six hits while striking out nine batters in the win. Gonsolin only threw 77 pitches in this one as the Dodgers likely wanted to limit him during his first game back. Fantasy managers who are seeking help in the pitching department should take a look at Gonsolin. He's currently scheduled for a rematch against the Marlins in his next outing.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin (back) was officially activated off the injured list ahead of his season debut on Wednesday afternoon against the Miami Marlins. Gonsolin has missed the first month of the campaign due to a back injury. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers optioned pitcher Matt Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Throughout his 14 innings of rehab work, Gonsolin has posted a 3.21 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP. During this stint, Gonsolin has struck out 16 batters and served up six walks. In his last rehab outing, Gonsolin logged a season-high five innings against Triple-A Salt Lake. The 30-year-old has not pitched in an MLB game since the 2023 season, when he logged 103 innings to the tune of a 4.98 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP. He missed all of 2024 after recovering from Tommy John. He does have a favorable matchup this evening against Miami, but it is best to fade in DFS as he may be given a limited workload.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (back) will be activated from the 15-day injured list this week and is expected to make his first start of the season and in 20 month against the Miami Marlins at home on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. Gonsolin's last start in the big leagues came on Aug. 18 of 2023, when he allowed 10 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings in a loss to the Marlins at Dodger Stadium. He had season-ending Tommy John surgery two weeks later and didn't pitch at all in 2024 as a result. In his four minor-league rehab starts, the 30-year-old veteran went 1-1 with a 3.21 ERA, 16 strikeouts and six walks in 14 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City. Gonsolin was a first-time All-Star in 2022 when he went 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 24 starts. If he pitches well, he could keep a rotation spot in L.A. with Blake Snell (elbow) on the IL and Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) potentially joining him there.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (back) needs at least three more rehab outings with Triple-A Oklahoma City and ramp-up to five or six innings before rejoining the Dodgers pitching staff. While it is encouraging that Gonsolin is ramping up, it's still unclear how he will fit into the starting rotation for the Dodgers upon his return. The Dodgers still have Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Dustin May, and Blake Snell (shoulder). It's possible that the Dodgers could deploy a six-man rotation once they are fully healthy. Still, fantasy managers will want to keep their eyes on any updates regarding the six-man rotation as Gonsolin approaches a return. In the meantime, the Dodgers have been leaning on Landon Knack to spot-start in the rotation to help with some of the injuries.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (back) threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out one and walking two in a rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. Gonsolin landed on the injured list on March 15 with back tightness but appears to be nearing a return to the mound for the big-league club. Gonsolin posted an 8-5 record with a 4.98 ERA in 2023 for the Dodgers before he missed all of the 2024 season after Tommy John surgery.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handers Tony Gonsolin (back) and Evan Phillips (shoulder) are both scheduled to begin minor-league rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. Gonsolin is scheduled to start on Thursday and pitch around two innings. Gonsolin is recovering from a back injury that he suffered in early March while lifting weights, but both he and Phillips are getting close to rejoining the big-league roster in the month of April. Given L.A.'s stacked starting rotation, though, it's unclear if the 30-year-old Gonsolin will serve as a starter or long reliever for the Blue when he's cleared to be activated. Phillips, 30, didn't pitch at all during spring training due to a right-shoulder injury that had been bothering him since the World Series last October. He led the Dodgers in saves the last two years but has lost considerable fantasy value after the team added Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates to the bullpen in the offseason.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers Clayton Kershaw (toe), Tony Gonsolin (back), and Michael Kopech (shoulder) were all placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday night. These were part of a flourish of roster moves the Dodgers made prior to their opening game in Tokyo, Japan. None of these moves came as a surprise, as these injuries have been known for a while. Kershaw is expected to require an extended absence as he recovers from toe surgery, but Gonsolin and Kopech figure to be in the mix much sooner. Kopech is an arm the Dodgers will definitely be eager to get back after he posted a 1.13 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 24 innings after being dealt to them last season from the Chicago White Sox.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (back) is reportedly dealing with a back injury he picked up while lifting. It is unfortunate news for the righty, as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts notes that although it is thought to be a minor issue, Gonsolin won't be in the rotation for opening day. Roberts also reported that pitcher Dustin May will take Gonsolin's place as the team's fifth starter. The 30-year-old former ninth-round pick hasn't pitched in a big-league game since 2023 after requiring Tommy John surgery that stemmed from inflammation reported in mid-August. However, he was superb the season prior, compiling a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP for the team across 24 starts (16-1). It's unclear when Gonsolin will be ready to rejoin the rotation. Still, he could be a valuable arm for fantasy managers if he can recapture his form from a few seasons ago.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (elbow) will start the team's second Cactus League game on Friday against the Chicago Cubs, with Nick Frasso starting on Saturday versus the Kansas City Royals. Gonsolin had Tommy John surgery in September of 2023, which caused him to miss the entire 2024 season with the Dodgers. The 30-year-old did make three minor-league rehab starts late last year and is ready to go for the start of the 2025 campaign. However, he's not a lock for a starting rotation spot and is competing with Dustin May, Bobby Miller, Landon Knack and Justin Wrobleski this spring. Gonsolin was an All-Star in 2022 and went 28-7 with a solid 3.36 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 266:109 K:BB in 289 innings over 59 outings (57 starts) from 2021-23, though, which could give him a leg up on a rotation spot.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handers Tony Gonsolin (elbow) and Dustin May (elbow) could begin the 2025 regular season in bullpen roles, according to manager Dave Roberts. Although Shohei Ohtani (elbow, shoulder) won't make his debut this year as a starting pitcher right away, both Gonsolin and May could be ticketed for relief roles. The 30-year-old Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2023 and didn't pitch at all in the big leagues in 2024, so it would be a way to limit his innings this season. May also missed all of the 2024 campaign and made only 20 starts from 2021-23 due to injury, so it would make sense if L.A. wanted to manage his innings in a relief role. The 27-year-old also is out of minor-league options, so if he doesn't win the No. 5 rotation spot in spring training, he'll almost certainly start the year out of the bullpen.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (elbow) is set to make his second rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. Gonsolin pitched two scoreless innings in his first rehab start on Tuesday while allowing just two hits and striking out three batters. The 30-year-old has yet to pitch in 2024 as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. The progress in his rehab assignment gives a slight chance that Gonsolin could pitch in the Dodgers' postseason run, but the likelihood is still minimal given the stakes of the postseason. At best Gonsolin could be used as a bullpen arm instead of a starter in October. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues will still want to hold onto Gonsolin but any managers that hoped for and needed the righty to return in 2024 can cut bait. Those looking for immediate help can look to Landon Knack, who has posted a 3.00 ERA in 54 IP coming into Friday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Tony Gonsolin (elbow) on the 60-day injured list on Friday to make room on the active roster for the signing of left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder), who will soon enough join Gonsolin on the 60-day IL. The 29-year-old Gonsolin will miss all of the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, so he will be completely off the fantasy radar in single-year leagues. An ankle sprain caused Gonsolin to get a late start to the 2023 campaign, and he ended up making only 20 starts, going 8-5 with a career-worst 4.98 ERA (5.43 FIP) and 1.22 WHIP while walking 40 and striking out 82 in 103 innings. It was a big disappointment after he was a first-time All-Star in 2022 and a Cy Young candidate after winning 16 games.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Monday that right-hander Tony Gonsolin (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery on Friday. No timetable has been given for his return, but it's now unlikely that he'll pitch at all in 2024. Fantasy managers already knew that Gonsolin wasn't going to pitch again for the Dodgers this year after they moved him to the 60-day injured list, and elbow reconstruction was always a strong possibility. The 29-year-old was a first-time All-Star in 2022, when he went 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 24 starts, but he came back to Earth in 2023, posting a career-worst 4.98 ERA (5.45 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, 40 walks and 82 strikeouts in 103 innings over 20 starts for the Blue.

The Los Angeles Dodgers moved right-hander Tony Gonsolin (forearm) to the 60-day injured list on Sunday and claimed pitcher Tyson Miller off waivers from the New York Mets in a corresponding move. Gonsolin will officially missed the rest of the 2023 season unless the Dodgers make a deep postseason run. Even then, the 29-year-old probably won't make a return and could need surgery on his right arm after undergoing an MRI exam over the weekend. Depending on what kind of surgery Gonsolin might need, most, if not all, of his 2024 season could be compromised as well. It was a tough year for him, going 8-5 with a career-worst 4.98 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 82 strikeouts in 103 innings over 20 starts for LA.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) had an MRI on his forearm and could require surgery, according to manager Dave Roberts. Roberts also told reporters that the potential surgery could affect Gonsolin's availability for 2024. The Dodgers placed the 29-year-old hurler on the 15-day injured list back on August 19 and stated that he would not pitch again for the rest of the season. This is a bit of a murky situation and it's starting to sound like Gonsolin could miss a portion of 2024. The Dodgers would provide more information again before the regular season comes to a close.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (forearm) had an MRI exam and could need surgery. A final decision has yet to be made, though, but it could impact his availability for the start of next season, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 29-year-old is not expected back again this year after he was place don the injured list on Aug. 19, especially if he has to go under the knife. He made the All-Star team for the first time in his career in 2022, when he went 16-1 with an excellent 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 24 starts. However, he has posted a career-worst 4.98 ERA (5.44 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, 40 walks and 82 strikeouts in 103 innings over his 20 starts this season. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues should have already dumped Gonsolin.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list and is likely done for the season, according to manager Dave Roberts. Gonsolin was shelled by the Marlins on Friday for 10 earned runs and later told reporters that his elbow was bothering him. The elbow issue likely attributed to his poor performance and now it sounds like said issue could end his season. He will undergo more tests to determine the severity of the injury but Roberts did not sound optimistic about the 29-year-old pitcher. The team should provide an update on him later this week but this is another blow to a battered Dodgers' rotation. Ryan Pepiot looks to be the next man up to replace Gonsolin. He's got some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (elbow) said that his elbow has been bothering him for several weeks and it affects his stuff more than his command. He plans to talk to the coaching and the training staff about taking a step back with a stint on the injured list. It helps explain why he was blasted by the Miami Marlins on Friday night to the tune of 10 earned runs on eight hits (five homers surrendered) while walking four and striking out two in just 3 1/3 innings. The nightmare outing pushed the 29-year-old's season ERA to 4.98 in 20 starts covering 103 innings pitched. Gonsolin has been inconsistent of late on the mound, and now we know why. Fantasy managers need to prepare for an upcoming absence.
