The Dodgers reinstated Gonsolin (ankle) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the first four weeks of the season due to a left ankle sprain, Gonsolin has been officially cleared to make his 2023 debut. He made only one minor-league rehab start in which he covered just three innings, so Gonsolin may not work deep enough into Wednesday's contest to factor into a decision. Once he gets fully stretched out, however, the 28-year-old should make for an excellent fantasy option coming off his breakout 2022 campaign. Gonsolin went 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 130.1 innings for the Dodgers last season.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Tuesday that Gonsolin (ankle) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday at Pittsburgh, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin could be in line for a piggyback start or even as the lead option in a bullpen day after he made only one three-inning minor-league rehab start and topped out at 57 pitches. He'll get built up on the fly and should eventually round into form as a high-impact fantasy option in the rotation, but he's not expected to cover much more than four innings Wednesday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. The 28-year-old went 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 119:35 K:BB over 130.1 innings (24 starts) in 2022. He missed the beginning of the 2023 campaign after suffering a left ankle sprain in the Cactus League this spring.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Gonsolin (ankle) will likely start Wednesday's game against the Pirates at PNC Park, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin was called off his minor-league rehab assignment and looks like he'll instead make his next start with the Dodgers in what will be his 2023 big-league debut. Since he covered just three innings in his lone rehab start, the right-hander will likely be able to work around four innings Wednesday in a game that may bear a closer resemblance to a bullpen day, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Gonsolin may have some rust to shake off, but he should be a strong fantasy option as long as he can stay healthy for the remainder of the campaign. Given his projected light workload Wednesday, however, fantasy managers are probably best off keeping him stashed on the bench or in an injured reserve slot rather than activating him this week.

Gonsolin (ankle) has joined the Dodgers in Chicago before their game against the Cubs on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin appears to be coming off his rehab assignment early to make his next appearance for the Dodgers rather than Triple-A Oklahoma City. He could slot in the rotation spot that was vacated by Michael Grove after Grove was diagnosed with a groin strain. Gonsolin was excellent in his action in 2022, and he should get a chance to show off his stuff in the majors in the coming days.

Gonsolin (ankle) could rejoin the Dodgers' rotation rather than make another rehab start, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Michael Grove (groin) has landed on the injured list, creating an opening in the rotation. The team could just skip his turn since they have an off day Monday, but bringing Gonsolin back early or promoting Gavin Stone are also options. Gonsolin went only three-plus innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday but he looked sharp, striking out seven while yielding two earned runs on one hit and two walks. He threw 57 pitches in the outing, so the righty would be on an abbreviated pitch count if the Dodgers do decide to activate him next week in Pittsburgh.

Gonsolin (ankle) allowed two earned runs over three one-hit innings in the first outing of his rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He issued two walks and struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin gave up a two-run homer in the bottom of the second, but that was the only hit he allowed in the 57-pitch outing against Triple-A Albuquerque. Having now recovered from the ankle sprain he suffered in early March and now in the process of getting stretched back out for starting duty, Gonsolin is on track to join the Dodgers rotation in early May, possibly after just one more outing on the farm.

Gonsolin (ankle) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session before Monday's game against the Mets and is scheduled to throw four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin will need to make at least one more rehab start after that effort for Oklahoma City before returning to the Dodgers. The talented starter has yet to make his season debut after suffering a sprained left ankle during Cactus League play. If all goes well, Gonsolin could be a member of the Dodgers' rotation in the early part of May.

Gonsolin (ankle) isn't expected to make a return until sometime in May, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin has been throwing bullpen sessions while traveling with the team, but his skipper's latest update isn't exactly what fantasy managers want to hear. Per Harris, the Dodgers expect it to be another 2-to-3 weeks until Gonsolin is cleared to go out on a rehab assignment, and he'll likely need at least a few appearances in the minors before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Gonsolin (ankle) threw in the bullpen at Chase Field before Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Gonsolin is continuing to make progress from his sprained left ankle, but Harris notes that the manager didn't make it sound like he had a great live bullpen at Camelback Rach earlier in the week. Gonsolin will likely have more bullpen sessions ahead before a rehab assignment, and he doesn't project to rejoin the rotation for the Dodgers until the end of April at the earliest.

Gonsolin (ankle) completed live batting practice Wednesday but will throw at least another bullpen session and live batting practice prior to beginning a rehab assignment, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin is working out at the Dodgers' spring training facility in Arizona as he continues to recover from a sprained left ankle. Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin "got through" the bullpen session, so it's unclear just how far his recovery has progressed. Regardless, it appears that Gonsolin is still at least a few weeks away from taking a big-league mound for the first time in 2023.
