James Kaprielian - Spring debut coming SundayKaprielian (shoulder) will make his Cactus League debut Sunday against San Diego, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
ImpactAfter impressing during a sim game Tuesday without feeling any pain in his shoulder, Kaprielian's return to Cactus League action is another good sign that he will be ready for the start of the season. The 29-year-old righty finished last year with a 4.23 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 134 innings across 26 starts.

Bobby Miller - Won't appear in games this springMiller is not expected to pitch in any Cactus League games this spring, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ImpactMiller upped his workload significantly in the minors last season, so the Dodgers are slow-playing him this spring. He remains one of the team's better prospects and should push to debut at some point in 2023.

Tony Gonsolin - Team to go slowly with recoveryGonsolin's (ankle) rehab is going to "be a slow process," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times on Friday.
ImpactGonsolin managed to avoid a fracture when he injured his left ankle during a fielding drill Monday, but the sprain he suffered seems to have been a fairly significant one. The plan is for the right-hander to be shut down for several more days and he'll then need to be built back up. Roberts wouldn't offer a timetable for Gonsolin's return, but it sounds like he could wind up missing the first several weeks of the season. Ryan Pepiot and Michael Grove are the candidates to fill Gonsolin's rotation spot.

Michael Grove - Might get a shot at rotation spotGrove is an option to fill in for Tony Gonsolin (ankle) if Gonsolin needs to miss time, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times on Friday.
ImpactRoberts said that if Gonsolin requires an injured list stint, which appears likely at this point, it would probably be either Grove or Ryan Pepiot filling in. Grove put up a 4.60 ERA over seven appearances (six starts) for the Dodgers last season in his first taste of the big leagues. He's one of the team's better young arms and would be worth a late-round dart throw in fantasy leagues if he joins the rotation.
