Tony Gonsolin - Thursday bullpen scheduledManager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin (shoulder) will throw a fastball-only bullpen session Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
ImpactIf the Thursday session goes well, Gonsolin figures to incorporate off-speed pitches into his bullpen work and ultimately progress to facing live batters. Assuming he requires a minor-league rehab assignment, the righty should be back with the Dodgers near the end of August, if not a bit later.

Danny Duffy - Will join bullpen upon returnManager Dave Roberts said Duffy (forearm) will serve as a long reliever when he's activated from the injured list in September, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
ImpactThe lefty is eligible to return from the IL on Sept. 15, although it's unclear whether he'll be ready then. Duffy's ability to provide length out of the bullpen, or potentially as a spot starter, should prove valuable for the playoff-bound Dodgers near the end of the regular season.
