Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) is throwing out to 120 feet in spring training and is able to put some weight on his sprained left ankle, according to manager Dave Roberts. However, there is still no update on Gonsolin's timetable for a return to games. The 28-year-old isn't expected to be ready to take his first turn in the regular season rotation, but barring a setback with his ankle, he shouldn't miss too many starts early on for the Dodgers or fantasy managers. Gonsolin had a career year in 2022 but dealt with an injury down the stretch and wasn't as effective to close things out. He will once again be a key member of LA's rotation, but fantasy managers would be wise to expect some regression.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said "it's gonna be a slow process" for starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) coming off a sprained left ankle. It's safe to assume that Ryan Pepiot and Michael Grove are the first options if the Dodgers need spot starts in Gonsolin's rotation spot to begin the 2023 season. Gonsolin rolled his ankle during drills in camp on Monday and is unlikely to be ready for the start of the season now. The 28-year-old right-hander had a breakout season for the Dodgers in 2022 with 16 wins, a 2.10 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 116 strikeouts in 128 1/3 innings, but he wasn't as good down the stretch and also dealt with a forearm strain. His 2023 season is off to a bad start, and it wouldn't be wise for fantasy managers to expect better numbers from him this year.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin's left ankle is still "tender," according to manager Dave Roberts. However, X-rays came back clean for any fractures. Roberts said he "doesn't feel good" about Gonsolin being ready for Opening Day, but he continues to be listed as day-to-day in spring camp. Gonsolin suffered a sprained ankle doing drills in camp and will not throw for at least a few more days. The 28-year-old All-Star might not be able to make his first turn through the rotation in the regular season, but barring a setback, he shouldn't miss too much time early on. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect even better numbers from Gonsolin in 2023, but he should be a rotation staple for the Dodgers.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) is being listed as day-to-day with a left ankle sprain that he suffered during drills in spring training on Monday, and he won't make his scheduled Cactus League start on Wednesday. Gonsolin has a noticeable limp, although this injury shouldn't cause him to miss Opening Day later this month. The 28-year-old right-hander had by far the best season of his career for the Blue in 2022, going 16-1 with a career-best 2.14 ERA (3.28 FIP), 0.88 WHIP and 23.9 percent strikeout rate in 130 1/3 innings over 24 starts. However, fantasy managers should expect some regression in 2023, although pitching for one of the best teams in baseball certainly helps.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) appeared to roll his left ankle during a drill in spring training on Monday. He spent time with the training staff before heading back into the clubhouse. It's unclear exactly how serious the ankle injury is, but we should have an update either later on Monday or Tuesday. The 28-year-old right-hander was a staple in the Dodgers' starting rotation last year and had an All-Star campaign by going 16-1 with a career-best 2.14 ERA (3.28 FIP), 0.87 WHIP and 23.9 percent strikeout rate in 130 1/3 innings over 24 starts. Gonsolin was injured late in the year, though, and appeared to be running out of gas after a previous career high of only 55 2/3 innings pitched in 2021. Pitching for the Dodgers gives him more appeal for wins, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect an improvement over last year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers avoided arbitration with starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin on Tuesday by agreeing to a two-year, $6.65 million deal. Per the agreement, Gonsolin will be paid $3.25 million in 2023 and $3.4 million in 2024, with built-in incentives around how many starts he makes in 2024. The 28-year-old had an All-Star 2022 season, going 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 23.9% strikeout rate in 24 starts and 130 1/3 innings pitched. However, Gonsolin did miss almost two months with a right forearm injury, and he dealt with right shoulder injuries in 2021. Given his career numbers and the strong offense supporting him, Gonsolin should be a solid fantasy contributor in all formats as long as he is healthy.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said there will be some limitations on how deep right-hander Tony Gonsolin can go in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Friday against the San Diego Padres, but he's built up to "upwards of 75 pitches." As a result, they won't necessarily have a "bulk" innings guy paired with Gonsolin on Friday. If Gonsolin isn't able to go deep in Game 3, the Dodgers will have right-hander Dustin May and left-hander Andrew Heaney available in long-relief roles out of the bullpen. Gonsolin didn't pitch at all in September due to a right forearm strain, so he could be rusty and not as sharp. The 28-year-old was great during the regular season, though, going 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA (3.28 FIP), a 0.87 WHIP, 119 strikeouts and 35 walks in 130 1/3 innings over 24 starts.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Friday against the division-rival San Diego Padres, according to skipper Dave Roberts. Gonsolin was named an All-Star for the first time in his fourth big-league season in 2022, going 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA (3.28 FIP), a 0.87 WHIP, 119 strikeouts and 35 walks in 130 1/3 innings over his 24 starts. He was even better in his two starts against the Padres this year, allowing just one earned run on seven hits while walking one and striking out 14 in 12 2/3 innings to go 2-0. Gonsolin's last outing came against San Diego on Aug. 5, when he threw five shutout innings while allowing just three hits and striking out six.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (forearm) has been activated from the 15-day injured list and is starting on Monday against the Colorado Rockies. In a corresponding move, Andre Jackson will head back to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Gonsolin was sidelined for over a month with a right forearm strain, but he'll get a little tune-up on Monday for one last start in the regular season. The 28-year-old was only able to throw two innings on a minor league rehab start, so fantasy managers still playing for something this week shouldn't expect much length from the returning starter. In his last four starts in August before getting injured, Gonsolin allowed just two earned runs on 10 hits while striking out 20 and walking seven in 23 2/3 frames.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) threw 27 pitches over two innings in Tuesday's start with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Gonsolin allowed no runs on a hit and no walks with two strikeouts. This is a small but encouraging step forward for the 28-year-old, who has been sidelined by a forearm strain since Aug. 24, but he also threw a two-inning simulated game on Monday. It remains to be seen when Gonsolin will be ready to return to the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for more news but should prepare for the possibility that they may not get one more start from him. This would be unfortunate, as Gonsolin has an excellent 16-1 record with a 2.10 ERA in 23 starts this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (forearm) threw a two-inning simulated game on Monday. Gonsolin, who has been sidelined by a forearm strain since August 24, threw approximately 30 pitches in the outing. The veteran hurler's velocity reportedly "ticked up" in the session, according to manager Dave Roberts. Gonsolin could be activated off of the injured list before the end of the regular season but Roberts is unsure what exactly the right-hander's next step will be.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday. According to manager Dave Roberts, the 28-year-old's bullpen results were "encouraging," and he feels Gonsolin can come back and contribute "in some capacity" this year. The right-hander owns a 16-1 record with a 2.10 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and a 116:35 K: BB across 128 1/3 innings in 2022. Gonsolin will continue to build up his workload and look to return before the end of the year. Fantasy managers with an open IL spot should continue to stash Gonsolin.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Sunday but he is still reportedly experiencing soreness in his right forearm. Gonsolin has been sidelined since August 29 with a strained forearm. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that he is confident that Gonsolin will be back by the playoffs, although he went on to say that he gets less confident every day that goes by that Gonsolin is not at full strength. Gonsolin is expected to throw again on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (forearm) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Sunday. This will mark the first time Gonsolin will throw off the mound since landing on the injured list with a forearm strain at the end of August. If all goes well, the 28-year-old could head off on a rehab assignment after Sunday's session. Gonsolin has a 16-1 record, 2.10 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 116 strikeouts over 128 1/3 innings of work in 2022.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) played light catch Tuesday, per MLB.com's Juan Toribio. Manager Dave Roberts said that the Dodgers are optimistic that Gonsolin will have enough time to build up from right forearm soreness before the end of the season, but acknowledged that he has not progressed as quickly as initially hoped for. While this is good news for the Dodgers, it is not for fantasy managers, who may not get Gonsolin back in time for any of the fantasy playoffs. The 28-year-old has been fantastic this season, going 16-1 with a 2.10 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 23.7% strikeout rate in 23 starts.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin's forearm soreness has not responded as well as the team had hoped, and he's still shut down from throwing. Gonsolin will undergo an MRI exam on Friday, according to skipper Dave Roberts. The 28-year-old right-hander was put on the injured list on Monday, but the team isn't considering this to be a setback just yet. The Dodgers remain optimistic that he'll miss only two turns through the rotation, but his MRI results will shed more light on a potential timeline for a return. Gonsolin has already far exceeded his innings total in the big leagues in 2022 with 128 1/3 frames. His previous career-high was 55 2/3 innings in 15 appearances in 2021. Gonsolin has been great, though, going 16-1 with a 2.10 ERA (3.34 FIP), a 0.86 WHIP and a 116:35 K:BB in 23 starts.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday. The right-hander mentioned that he felt some tightness after his last start. Luckily, Gonsolin won't need an MRI and this doesn't sound too serious of an injury. He believes that he'll be ready to return to the field after his 15-day stint on the injured list. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see how he recovers from this forearm tightness.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) on the 15-day injured list on Monday due to a right forearm strain. The move was made retroactive to August 26. The 28-year-old has enjoyed a breakout season for both the Dodgers and fantasy managers this season, pitching to a 2.10 ERA and a 3.34 FIP in 128.1 innings for Los Angeles this season. He's also struck out 116 batters in those 128.1 innings while allowing just 35 walks and 11 home runs. The Dodgers recalled right-hander Michael Grove to take Gonsolin's place on the active roster.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin did not have the outing he was hoping for in his home ballpark during Tuesday's 3-2 All-Star Game loss to the American League. Gonsolin allowed all three of the AL's runs in the fourth inning on four hits (including back-to-back home runs) with a strikeout. Despite this, Gonsolin's inclusion in the All-Star Game is a testament to how well he has pitched this season. The 28-year-old has finally gotten a routine spot in the rotation and has gone 11-0 with a 2.02 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 24.2% strikeout rate over 17 starts. He has been a fantasy All-Star so far and hopefully will continue to be one in the second half as well.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin continued his charmed season against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, earning his eighth win against zero losses. Gonsolin lasted 6 1/3 innings of shutout ball, giving up just one hit and two walks with six strikeouts. He now has a 1.42 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with 60 strikeouts in 63 1/3 innings and 12 starts this year. Gonsolin has functionally been the ace of the Dodgers' staff, and while he's bound to give up some runs at some point, he's well-positioned for plenty of wins (and fantasy value) for one of the premier teams in the majors.
