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.

Gonsolin suffered an apparent left ankle injury during a drill Monday, Doug Padilla of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Padilla says Gonsolin seemed to roll the ankle during the workout and eventually retreated to the clubhouse following a conversation with the training staff. The Dodgers should have more on the pitcher's condition later Monday.

Gonsolin signed a two-year, $6.65 million contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday to avoid arbitration.

EDGE Analysis

After turning in a dominant season in 2022 to the tune of a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP through 130.1 innings, Gonsolin earned himself a nice raise from his $720,000 salary last year. The 28-year-old starter will still have two years of arbitration eligibility after the 2024 season.

Gonsolin will start Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres on Friday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a stellar 2022 campaign in which Gonsolin recorded a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP, he will make his first start of the postseason in San Diego. Gonsolin's last start against the Padres was a five-inning shutout performance on Aug. 5 in which he gave up just three hits and a walk while earning the win.

Gonsolin (forearm) tossed two innings against Colorado on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while striking out three batters in a no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin missed over a month while dealing with a right forearm strain, so his start Monday was intentionally brief. The right-hander threw 40 pitches (24 for strikes) and did well by striking out three batters, though a trio of Rockies hits in the second inning resulted in a run against him. Gonsolin finished the regular season with a standout 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP over 130.1 innings, but the time missed due to injury means he won't qualify to be among the league leaders in those categories. Gonsolin will next throw a simulated game Sunday, and if that goes well, he's expected to be placed on the NLDS roster as a potential starter in Game 3 or 4, per Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA.

Gonsolin (forearm) was activated from the 15-day injured list Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending over a month on the injured list due to a strained right forearm, Gonsolin will return Monday and start against the Rockies. He threw just two innings during his rehab assignment, so he will likely be on a relatively-low pitch count. Andre Jackson will return to Triple-A with the re-addition of Gonsolin to the roster.

Gonsolin (forearm) is expected to return from the injured list to start Monday's game against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin has been out for a month with a strained right forearm, but it looks like he'll make it back in time for one tune-up start as the Dodgers get ready for the postseason. He only threw two innings in his lone rehab start Tuesday, however, so he'll likely be limited to three or four frames in his return.

Gonsolin (forearm) struck out two over two scoreless innings Tuesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He allowed one hit and no walks in the 27-pitch appearance.

EDGE Analysis

Though Gonsolin looked sharp in his first game action in more than a month, his light pitch count means he likely won't be ready to handle a typical starter's workload if the Dodgers choose to activate him from the 15-day injured list rather than having him make another rehab appearance. Since the Dodgers have already secured the top seed in the National League playoffs and won't open their postseason schedule until Oct. 11, Gonsolin will still have just under two weeks to build up his pitch count through Los Angeles' remaining regular-season games and/or simulated games.

Gonsolin (forearm) will return to the majors after just one rehab start if his outing Tuesday for Triple-A Oklahoma City goes well, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin hasn't pitched in a game in over a month due to a strained right forearm. The only way he can make it back this year is if he returns after a single rehab appearance, but it looks like that's the Dodgers' plan. While he's expected to pitch as a starter upon his return, don't expect him to pitch too deep into the game in his first start back, as he's scheduled to throw only two innings Tuesday and will likely be limited to three or four in his subsequent outing.

Gonsolin (forearm) will throw a pair of rehab innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beginning a rehab assignment gives Gonsolin at least a chance to return before the regular season, but it's unclear if there will be enough time for him to do so. If the team wants to build his workload back up with the goal of having him start games in the playoffs, he won't have time to complete that process before the end of the regular season, though he could still return in a relief role.
