Gonsolin (back) is likely to join the Dodgers next week after allowing two runs in five innings Wednesday in his fourth rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers are likely to need a starting pitcher or two the next week with no designated fifth starter currently on the roster. With Blake Snell (shoulder) shut down from throwing, there's a decent chance Gonsolin could stay in the rotation if he makes a strong impression. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had said he wanted the 30-year-old right-hander to pitch into the fifth inning before being activated from the injured list.
