Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that Gonsolin (ankle) will throw a bullpen session before Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
If things go well during that bullpen session, Roberts is hopeful that the right-hander will face hitters at Camelback Ranch in Arizona on Wednesday. Gonsolin is on the injured list with a sprained ankle injury, and if things go well he could return to the Los Angeles rotation by the end of April.

Gonsolin (ankle) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin is still getting stretched out after missing most of spring training because of a sprained left ankle. The target range for his 2023 debut seems to be late April. Michael Grove has claimed the final spot in the Dodgers' starting rotation with Ryan Pepiot (oblique) also requiring an IL stint.

Gonsolin (ankle) is hopeful of rejoining the Dodgers' rotation in late April, according to MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw a 20-25 pitch bullpen session Monday but is still "a ways away," manager Dave Roberts said afterward. Gonsolin does appear to be over his left ankle sprain at this point and it's now just about rebuilding his stamina. He'll surely need a rehab start or two before returning to the Dodgers in about a month.

Gonsolin (ankle) threw a bullpen session Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first time he's been on the bump since suffering a sprained left ankle back on March 6. Gonsolin could miss most, if not all, of April as the Dodgers take things slowly with his recovery, but he seems to be progressing well.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin's (ankle) time on the injured list will span "a few weeks," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts said Friday that Gonsolin would begin the season on the IL due to his sprained ankle, and Roberts has now provided a better idea of how long the 28-year-old righty will be sidelined. While he's out, Gonsolin's spot in the rotation will be filled by either Ryan Pepiot or Michael Grove.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Gonsolin (ankle) will begin the season on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The news hardly comes as a surprise, as Gonsolin was expected to miss the first several weeks of the season, but Roberts has now confirmed it. The 28-year-old righty began throwing Wednesday, but the team will go slow with his recovery.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Wednesday that Gonsolin (ankle) has started throwing, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin has started playing long toss and was able to throw from 120 feet Tuesday in Arizona. The right-hander is dealing with an ankle sprain significant enough to potentially cost him the start of the 2023 season. It's a positive sign he's resumed throwing, however, and there should be further updates on Gonsolin's status in the coming days.

Gonsolin's rehab from his ankle injury is going to "be a slow process," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin managed to avoid a fracture when he injured his left ankle during a fielding drill Monday, but the sprain he suffered seems to have been a fairly significant one. The plan is for the right-hander to be shut down for several more days and he'll then need to be built back up. Roberts wouldn't offer a timetable for Gonsolin's return, but it sounds like he could wind up missing the first several weeks of the season. Ryan Pepiot and Michael Grove are the candidates to fill Gonsolin's rotation spot.

Gonsolin's left ankle is still swollen, but X-rays revealed there was no fracture, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Because of the swelling in Gonsolin's sprained ankle, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced the right-hander won't throw for at least several more days. The good news is there's no structural damage, so it does appear Gonsolin has avoided a serious injury. Because of the missed time, however, there is a chance that the 28-year-old will not be ready for the start of the 2023 season, with Roberts going so far as to say he "doesn't feel good" about his chances.

Gonsolin has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle and will not make his Cactus League start as scheduled Wednesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonsolin rolled his ankle while doing fielding drills Monday. The Dodgers are calling the right-hander day-to-day, but he was spotted with a noticeable limp at the team's spring training complex. Manager Dave Roberts believes Gonsolin is built up enough that this shouldn't affect his availability for Opening Day. He's currently not scheduled to have any imaging done, although that could change depending on how he progresses in the coming days.
