Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said "it's gonna be a slow process" for starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) coming off a sprained left ankle. It's safe to assume that Ryan Pepiot and Michael Grove are the first options if the Dodgers need spot starts in Gonsolin's rotation spot to begin the 2023 season. Gonsolin rolled his ankle during drills in camp on Monday and is unlikely to be ready for the start of the season now. The 28-year-old right-hander had a breakout season for the ...

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin's left ankle is still "tender," according to manager Dave Roberts. However, X-rays came back clean for any fractures. Roberts said he "doesn't feel good" about Gonsolin being ready for Opening Day, but he continues to be listed as day-to-day in spring camp. Gonsolin suffered a sprained ankle doing drills in camp and will not throw for at least a few more days. The 28-year-old All-Star might not be able to make his first turn through the ...

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) is being listed as day-to-day with a left ankle sprain that he suffered during drills in spring training on Monday, and he won't make his scheduled Cactus League start on Wednesday. Gonsolin has a noticeable limp, although this injury shouldn't cause him to miss Opening Day later this month. The 28-year-old right-hander had by far the best season of his career for the Blue in 2022, going 16-1 with a career-best 2.14 ERA (3.28 FIP), 0.88...

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) appeared to roll his left ankle during a drill in spring training on Monday. He spent time with the training staff before heading back into the clubhouse. It's unclear exactly how serious the ankle injury is, but we should have an update either later on Monday or Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers avoided arbitration with starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin on Tuesday by agreeing to a two-year, $6.65 million deal. Per the agreement, Gonsolin will be paid $3.25 million in 2023 and $3.4 million in 2024, with built-in incentives around how many starts he makes in 2024. The 28-year-old had an All-Star 2022 season, going 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 23.9% strikeout rate in 24 starts and 130 1/3 innings pitched. However, Gonsolin did miss almost two months with a ...

Right-hander Tony Gonsolin had a breakout season for the Los Angeles Dodgers during his first full season in the majors. He won 16 games while posting a 2.14 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 23.9% strikeout rate across 24 starts and 130.1 innings. Regression is coming in 2023, though. Gonsolin's .207 BABIP was the lowest of any pitcher with at least 70 innings, and he allowed just 0.76 HR/9 despite an inflated fly ball rate (26.5%) and a home park that's third in home run factor over the past three seasons....

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (forearm) has been activated from the 15-day injured list and is starting on Monday against the Colorado Rockies.

The 28-year-old was only able to throw two innings on a minor league rehab start, so fantasy managers ...

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) threw 27 pitches over two innings in Tuesday's start with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Gonsolin allowed no runs on a hit and no walks with two strikeouts. This is a small but encouraging step forward for the 28-year-old, who has been sidelined by a forearm strain since Aug. 24, but he also threw a two-inning simulated game on Monday. It remains to be seen when Gonsolin will be ready to return to the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should keep an ...

The veteran hurler's velocity reportedly "ticked up" in the session, according to manager Dave Roberts. Gonsolin could be activated off of the injured list before the end of the regular season but Roberts is unsure what exactly the right-hander's next step will be.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday. According to manager Dave Roberts, the 28-year-old's bullpen results were "encouraging," and he feels Gonsolin can come back and contribute "in some capacity" this year. The right-hander owns a 16-1 record with a 2.10 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and a 116:35 K: BB across 128 1/3 innings in 2022.
