2025 Player Outlook
Gonsolin is working his way back from August 2023 Tommy John Surgery. He is expected to be ready for Spring Training and will compete with Bobby Miller and Dustin May for the final spot in the rotation.
Player News
Making his 2025 debut, Tony Gonsolin fanned nine while allowing three runs over six innings Wednesday in a win over the Marlins.
He would have had an even better line if not for some outfield hijinks behind him. Gonsolin’s stellar showing included 17 missed swings and a 43% CSW over 77 pitches. Nine strikeouts stands alone as the second-highest total of his career behind a 10-strikeout game against the Rockies in 2020. Gonsolin probably won’t stay healthy and he definitely won’t get to face Miami every time out, but given that he’s fine physically right now and he actually will take on the Marlins again next week, he should be rostered in mixed leagues.
Dodgers activated RHP Tony Gonsolin off the 15-day injured list.
Gonsolin is off the injured list and will make his first start since 2023 after recovering from Tommy John surgery and also a back injury he dealt with this spring. The 30-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance in his short career, and the Miami lineup isn’t exactly loaded with stars. He’s certainly worth adding to a roster for Wednesday’s game and beyond.
Tony Gonsolin (back) will return from the injured list and start for the Dodgers on Wednesday against the Marlins.
Gonsolin missed the entire 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery and was then sidelined by a back injury in spring after just three innings. The 30-year-old had a great season in 2022 and has been a solid starter for the Dodgers over his career. His lack of strikeouts limits his fantasy value a bit, but his velocity has been up in his rehab outings, so he could be worth a stash in deeper formats while he remains in the Dodgers’ rotation.
Tony Gonsolin (back) gave up two runs over five innings on Wednesday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City.
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.
