Gonsolin (shoulder) tossed three scoreless frames in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He gave up one hit (a double) and struck out three while walking none over his 38-pitch appearance.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers initially planned for Gonsolin to cover only two innings in his first rehab outing, but because he was economical with his pitch count over the initial two frames, he was allowed to work an extra inning. Gonsolin looked about as sharp as the Dodgers could have hoped in his first game action of the season, and he should be cleared to push his pitch count above 50 when he makes his second rehab start later this week. Gonsolin appears on track to return from the 60-day injured list and join the big-league rotation at some point in early June.

Gonsolin (shoulder) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Oklahoma City Dodgers broadcaster Alex Freedman reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old is expected to throw two innings during his first rehab appearance as he builds up his stamina. The Dodgers previously indicated they want Gonsolin stretched out to at least four innings before being activated from the injured list, so he's poised to make a few starts in the minors.

Gonsolin (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City this week for a rehab assignment and could start Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old is expected to cover two innings in his first rehab start as he builds up to a starter's workload. The Dodgers previously said they want the right-hander built up to at least four innings before bringing him back from the shelf, so he's ticketed for at least a few starts in the minors. Gonsolin was also transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, so he isn't eligible to be activated until May 31.

Gonsolin (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin has been out since the start of the year with right shoulder inflammation, so he's already served most of the required 60 days. He's nearing a return to action, as he's already thrown one simulated game and is set to throw another this week, but he now can't rejoin the active roster before May 31. The move clears a spot on the Dodgers' 40-man roster for the team to add new signing Albert Pujols.

Gonsolin (shoulder) will throw three innings in a simulated game during the middle of the upcoming week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin appears to be progressing as he works his way back to the big-league squad. He reportedly threw a two-inning bullpen last week, and his upcoming three-frame session will be another step in the right direction. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Gonsolin could be activated once he's stretched out to four innings, so his return is on the horizon but not imminent.

Gonsolin (shoulder) is scheduled to pitch two innings against live hitters this week, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old is building up as a starter after being shut down from throwing in early April. Gonsolin should receive a look in the starting rotation once fully cleared with Dustin May (elbow) lost for the season.

Gonsolin (shoulder) is slated to throw a bullpen session Sunday and a simulated game later in the week, Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was placed on the 10-day injured list and shut down from throwing in early April, but he has since been cleared to begin tossing bullpens. Upon his return, Gonsolin is likely to be looked at as a rotation option to replace the injured Dustin May (elbow).

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin (shoulder) is being built up as a starter and is about 3-to-4 weeks from being available, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old will need to be built up to about five innings and 75 pitches before being available, which will take a few weeks after he was forced to delay the start of his throwing program in mid-April. Gonsolin figures to go on a minor-league rehab assignment and could be a rotation option for the Dodgers once cleared, depending on the severity of Dustin May's arm injury.

Gonsolin (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin made the Dodgers' Opening Day roster but landed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation before he got the chance to make his season debut. An attempt to start his throwing program in mid-April was halted due to continued soreness, but he's making progress again now. The Dodgers have yet to provide a clear timetable for his return.

Gonsolin (shoulder) began a throwing program at the Dodgers' alternate training site Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin attempted to start throwing two weeks ago but was still feeling too much soreness in his shoulder. He's still in the early stages, throwing long toss but not yet advancing to mound work, so it will still be a while before he's ready to return to the active roster.
