Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin (forearm) will throw two innings against live hitters Thursday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The road back has been a slow journey for Gonsolin after he landed on the 15-day injured list at the end of August. He's thrown a handful of bullpen sessions over the past week and could still make a return before the end of the regular season, but it will almost certainly be in a bullpen role.

Gonsolin (forearm) threw a two-inning bullpen session Monday, with the team noting an increase in velocity, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is positive news for Gonsolin, who continues to battle his way back from a right forearm strain suffered in August. While his latest throwing session brings positive news, the team has been unclear about the next step in his rehab. If he is activated prior to the end of the regular season, Gonsolin will likely be brought back as a bullpen arm, as he won't have enough time to build back up to a starting role.

Gonsolin (forearm) threw a successful bullpen session Saturday, but the team doesn't expect him to be built up to a full starter's workload before the postseason, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin has had an outstanding season, posting a 2.10 ERA in 23 starts, but he might not get the chance to add to that total down the stretch. He's been out since late August with a strained forearm, and the Dodgers have no incentive to rush him given that they've already clinched their division and face no real competition for the top seed in the National League. While Gonsolin seemingly has time to make it back for an outing or two, those appearances could come in relief or as very short starts.

Gonsolin (forearm) is encouraged by his recent progress and will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin's recovery from a right forearm strain has been slower than initially expected, but the All-Star hurler appears to be turning a corner. Saturday's bullpen will mark his third over the past seven days, and Gonsolin indicated that his forearm is responding much better after he throws than it did when he was initially shelved. The right-hander also had a conversation with manager Dave Roberts and indicated that he's comfortable with any role he's asked to fill after returning. Given the lack of time left in the regular season and the fact that Gonsolin hasn't thrown in a game since Aug. 23, that may mean that he'll be used out of the bullpen upon his activation from the injured list.

Gonsolin (forearm) threw a bullpen session Wednesday which manager Dave Roberts described as "encouraging," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was unable to throw at full intensity during his bullpen over the weekend, but he quickly returned to the mound Wednesday for a positive session. Roberts expects Gonsolin to return before the end of the regular season, but whether the right-hander comes back as a starter or reliever will depend on how well he's able to build up his workload in the near future.

Gonsolin (forearm) wasn't able to throw at full intensity during his bullpen session Sunday, but he'll have another such session Wednesday, and the team still believes the hurler will be able to return by the end of the season, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The results of Gonsolin's Sunday bullpen were mixed, as he wasn't able to throw without restrictions but is still expected to toss another session three days later. The right-hander last pitched in a game Aug. 23 and was initially expected to have a short stint on the IL, so it's discouraging that he's not yet back to full strength. However, manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism that Gonsolin can return as a starter before the end of the campaign.

Gonsolin (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonsolin has not thrown from a mound since landing on the injured list, but it appears he is ready to get back on the bump. It's unclear if Gonsolin will require a rehab assignment before rejoining the big club, but the Dodgers figure to release an update on his status following Sunday's session.

Manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin (forearm) isn't progressing as quickly as the Dodgers have hoped, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After receiving encouraging MRI results on Gonsolin's forearm, the Dodgers have hit a bit of a wall in the process of bringing the 28-year-old righty back. Roberts said he is still optimistic Gonsolin will have time to build back and make his return, it just may take longer than the team originally thought.

Gonsolin (forearm) is not ready to throw off a mound, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He pitched from 90 feet recently but needs to be throwing at 150 feet at least for him to get back on the mound. Gonsolin is trending toward returning in mid-to-late September.

Gonsolin (forearm) threw in the outfield Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis
