Gonsolin was named a candidate for the 2020 rotation Sunday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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).
