Gonsolin threw 79 pitches (50 strikes) in his likely final rehab outing. It’s unclear what exact role he’ll have upon returning to Los Angeles, but the Dodgers wanted him to build up to five innings before bringing him back from the injured list. He should join their mix, likely in a versatile swingman-type role, early next week.

Gonsolin threw 66 pitches (43 strikes) in his latest tune-up and should be ready to return to Los Angeles’ pitching mix next week. The 30-year-old righty opened the regular season on the shelf after suffering a back injury while lifting weights during spring training.

Gonsolin threw 34 of 46 pitches for strikes while piling up seven strikeouts and only issuing one walk. The 30-year-old righty might need another rehab outing next week unless the Dodgers decide he’s ready to return without ramping up his pitch count any further. We’ll see.

Gonsolin landed on the injured list at the outset of the regular season after suffering a back injury last month while lifting weights. The 30-year-old should be ready to rejoin Los Angeles’ pitching staff, most likely in a versatile swingman role, after making a handful of rehab outings.
