Gonsolin (shoulder) will be activated off the 10-day injured list Thursday and will start at St. Louis, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin has spent nearly six weeks on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation, but he'll be rejoining the active roster Thursday to start in the series finale versus the Cardinals. The right-hander threw 41 pitches over 2.1 innings during his rehab outing with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, so he'll still face some workload limitations for at least a couple starts.

Gonsolin (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list to start or work as primary pitcher Thursday against the Cardinals or Friday against the Padres, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
When he met with the media Monday, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin "will be activated soon," after the right-hander checked out fine following his 41-pitch rehab start Saturday with High-A Rancho Cucamonga. Assuming Gonsolin is kept on a normal four-day rest schedule, he would be an option to take the hill for the Dodgers' series finale Thursday in St. Louis, if Roberts want to give Julio Urias an additional day of rest between starts. In the event the Dodgers prefer to keep Urias on a normal starting schedule, Gonsolin would likely throw a simulated game or make another rehab appearance this weekend before making his return from the 10-day injured list at some point next week. Gonsolin has been sidelined since July 31 with right shoulder inflammation.

Gonsolin (shoulder) felt good after Saturday's rehab start and could be activated soon, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin likely won't pitch in the Dodgers' upcoming series against the Cardinals, but the right-hander has a chance to return after just one rehab appearance. The 27-year-old allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out one in 2.1 innings at Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday.

Gonsolin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin felt good after he threw a simulated game Monday and will now return to game action for the first time since late July. The right-hander will likely require more than one rehab appearance given the length of his absence, but he's getting closer to rejoining the major-league squad.

Gonsolin (shoulder) threw a simulated game Monday and is expected to report to a minor-league affiliate for a three-inning rehab start soon, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monday's simulated game was apparently a success, as he's now on the cusp of a rehab assignment. Gonsolin has been on the injured list for about a month with right shoulder inflammation, so he'll likely need at least a couple starts in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers.

Gonsolin (shoulder) will throw a simulated game Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin has been out for just shy of a month while dealing with shoulder inflammation. He's taking steps in the right direction, though he's only expected to throw two innings Monday, so he still has plenty of work to do being being activated from the injured list.

Gonsolin (shoulder) successfully completed a bullpen session Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin threw 20-25 pitches in the session, all of which were fastballs. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Gonsolin's shoulder felt strong Wednesday, though there has been no report of how Gonsolin was feeling after throwing. Assuming his health checks out, Gonsolin will presumably progress to throwing all of his pitches before likely embarking on a rehab assignment.

Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin (shoulder) will throw a fastball-only bullpen session Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
If the Thursday session goes well, Gonsolin figures to incorporate off-speed pitches into his bullpen work and ultimately progress to facing live batters. Assuming he requires a minor-league rehab assignment, the righty should be back with the Dodgers near the end of August, if not a bit later.

Gonsolin (shoulder) began a throwing program Aug. 9 and could throw a bullpen session at some point this weekend, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander played catch Monday for the first time since landing on the injured list July 31, and manager Dave Roberts indicated that he could be ready to toss a bullpen session in New York in the coming days. Roberts also indicated that Gonsolin will both pitch simulated games and go on a rehab assignment prior to returning to the big club, so he likely remains weeks away from a return. When Gonsolin is ready to rejoin the Dodgers, the team will evaluate whether he will work as a starter or a reliever.

Gonsolin (shoulder) has not picked up a baseball since hitting the 10-day injured list July 31, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation after walking five batters over 1.2 innings against Atlanta on July 31. He's eligible to come off the IL on Tuesday, but it's apparent that Gonsolin won't come close to returning that soon. The Dodgers' recent signing of Cole Hamels could indicate that they expect Gonsolin to remain out for a considerable period of time.
