Gonsolin will be promoted to start Sunday in Atlanta, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers seem to be moving Dustin May to the bullpen for the stretch run in an effort to manage his workload, so Gonsolin will work as the fifth starter for the time being. His last big-league start was an Aug. 5 gem against the Cardinals, but he was not as sharp in his two other appearances in the majors. It's a tough matchup for Gonsolin, but he has big-time velocity and should get solid run support, so he's not a bad streamer.

Manager Dave Roberts said that Gonsolin could be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday against the Braves, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beyond noting that Dustin May -- who had initially been scheduled to start Sunday -- would work in relief, Roberts wouldn't fully commit to his plans for the Los Angeles pitching staff in the series finale in Atlanta. The Dodgers' decision on who will start Sunday may hinge on how much relief help is needed in Saturday's contest, when Hyun-Jin Ryu's turn in the rotation comes up. If limited relief help is needed behind Ryu, the Dodgers could treat the series finale as a bullpen game rather than calling up Gonsolin, who gave up five runs while posting a 13:1 K:BB across 14 innings in the big leagues earlier this season.

Gonsolin was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a bit of a bummer that Gonsolin has to head back to the minors after an excellent start Monday against the Cardinals, during which he allowed just two hits and a walk over six scoreless frames while fanning seven. However, it was also an anticipated move, given the imminent return of Hyun-Jin Ryu (neck) and Ross Stripling (biceps). He is not the caliber of pitching prospect that Dustin May is, but Gonsolin is a very solid prospect in his own right. He features a plus mid-90s fastball -- he has hit triple digits before in shorter bursts -- a high-spin splitter and a swing-and miss slider. Look for him to be back in the majors this season, likely pitching out of the bullpen. He should get a call after rosters expand in September at the latest.

Gonsolin (1-1) allowed two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings Monday, striking out seven batters and earning the win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin dominated the Cardinals on Monday, allowing just one runner to reach scoring position. The rookie right-hander now owns a solid 13:1 K:BB over his fist 14 MLB innings. With Hyun-Jin Ryu (neck) and Ross Stripling (biceps) both expected to return from the injured list sometime around this weekend, Gonsolin may not get another turn in the rotation during this big-league stint.

Gonsolin has been named the starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin was brought back to the big leagues Friday, though he's not expected to see action until he toes the rubber Monday night. He's appeared in two contests this season for the Dodgers, surrendering five runs while fanning six over eight innings (one start).

Gonsolin was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin had only just been sent down to Triple-A on Wednesday. He's allowed to return just two days later with Hyun-Jin Ryu (neck) landing on the injured list. Gonsolin has made two appearances for the Dodgers this season, allowing seven runs (five earned) in eight innings of work.

Gonsolin was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin is unavailable to pitch for a few days after recording a four-inning save against the Rockies on Tuesday, so the Dodgers opted to send him back to the minors to free up a roster spot for Dylan Floro (neck), who was activated from the injured list. The right-hander's solid outing Tuesday -- he allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out three -- should earn him another look with the big club down the stretch.

Gonsolin threw four innings and was credited with the save against the Rockies on Tuesday, giving up one earned run on three hits, striking out three with no walks as the Dodgers won 9-4.
EDGE Analysis
Julio Urias started the contest, but Gonsolin wound up tossing the most innings and picking up a seldom-seen four-inning save in just his second big-league appearance of 2019. It remains to be seen how the Dodgers choose to use him since he was a starter for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but this solid relief effort may have bolstered Gonsolin's case for a more extended look coming out of the bullpen.

Gonsolin was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin is expected to join the Dodgers as a reliever despite making 12 starts at Triple-A this season. He's posted a 4.95 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with 41 strikeouts over 36.1 innings for Los Angeles' Triple-A affiliate in 2019.

Gonsolin has not yet been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin is currently with the Dodgers, though he's not expected to be added to their active roster until Tuesday. The right-hander is a candidate to start Tuesday's game against the Rockies, though it would likely be an abbreviated outing if he does get the ball, as Julio Urias is expected to cover the majority of innings.
