Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told media that relief pitchers Tony Gonsolin and David Price won't be utilized out of the bullpen on consecutive days. He also threw reliever Jimmy Nelson into the discussion. He said that he wouldn't inform the three pitchers which games they should expect to pitch, explaining that he has to, "watch the game, see how it goes." All three members of the trio are former starters who will be the prime candidates for spot-starts or a consistent rotation spot when ...

This time last year, I provided RotoBaller readers with some sleeper prospect names for 2020 redraft leagues. The advice aged quite well despite the stunted major league season and lack of minor league games.Among my predictions, I spoke glowingly about Tony Gonsolin a pitcher that had not received much love from others. However, if you listened to the advice, then you ended up with a pitcher that outperformed the more-heralded Dustin May. Another prediction, Jared Walsh, slugged nine home runs...

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin is coming off another strong, albeit short, campaign that earned him fourth place in NL Rookie of the Year voting. Gonsolin initially broke into the majors in 2019 and pitched to a 2.93 ERA, 1.03 WHIP over 40 innings, retaining rookie eligibility. In 2020, he was even better with a 2.31 ERA and 0.84 WHIP across 46 2/3 innings. Gonsolin posted an elite walk rate of 4% while upping his K% to 26.%. While he has been extremely effective every time he steps ...

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Tony Gonsolin will start Game 6 of the World Series against the Rays on Tuesday. He'll be opposed by left-hander Blake Snell for Tampa Bay. Snell, who won the American League Cy Young in 2018, didn't allow a hit to the Dodgers through the first four innings of Game 2 but ended up with a no-decision in the eventual Rays win. Gonsolin was essentially the opener for the Dodgers in Game 2, and he has a rough 9.39 ERA in 7 2/3 postseason innings after a ...

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin will start Game 2 of the World Series against the Rays on Wednesday. Gonsolin faced 11 batters and tossed 41 pitches in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series against Atlanta on Sunday, so he may only be able to go a couple of innings. Manager Dave Roberts said that youngsters Julio Urias and Dustin May will also be available out of the bullpen on Wednesday, although Urias and May combined to face 14 batters in Game 7. ...

The abbreviated, wild-ride known as the 2020 MLB season has come to an end and the playoffs are in full swing. Sadly, that means fantasy baseball seasons are finished. And prospects watchers have turned their attention towards the 2021 season.The 2020 season saw a significant number of key contributions from rookies and, had you been reading Rotoballer all season long, you would have had the opportunity to get in early on the likes of Kyle Lewis, Willi Castro, Tony Gonsolin, Dane Dunning, and ...

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin allowed one run on four hits across seven innings of work during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the San Diego Padres. He struck out two batters without issuing a walk. It was a brilliant performance for Gonsolin, against one of the league's highest-powered offenses. The 26-year-old now owns a 1.51 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, and 30/6 K/BB rate through 35 2/3 innings in 2020. Gonsolin heads to Coors Field to take on the Colorado Rockies in his next projected start, but he ...

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin will be called up to start Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 26-year-old has not allowed a run through 14 2/3 innings in 2020, but the depth of the Dodgers' rotation has prevented him from earning a full-time spot. Nevertheless, Gonsolin is worthy of an immediate pickup in all formats, even if it is just for one start. He has proven to be a highly effective fantasy asset over the past two seasons and has a fantastic matchup against an anemic ...

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin was optioned back to the team's alternate training site on Wednesday afternoon. Right-handed reliever Victor Gonzalez was recalled as a corresponding move. Gonsolin has yet to allow a run across 14 2/3 innings in 2020, but the Dodgers are so deep they can afford to shuffle him around. It is a frustrating situation for fantasy owners, but the 26-year-old will get another start sooner rather than later.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin sprinkled two hits across six scoreless innings during Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. He struck out three batters without issuing a walk. Gonsolin has enjoyed a brilliant start to the 2020 season. He has not given up a run across 14 2/3 innings, owning a sparkling 0.55 WHIP and 12/2 K/BB rate. It is unclear whether Gonsolin has a guaranteed rotation spot yet, but he is worthy of a speculative add in most standard leagues.
