Could return Thursday or Friday Gonsolin (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list to start or work as primary pitcher Thursday against the Cardinals or Friday against the Padres, Mike DiGiovanna... Impact When he met with the media Monday, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said Gonsolin "will be activated soon," after the right-hander checked out fine following his 41-pitch rehab start Saturday with High-A Rancho Cucamonga. Assuming Gonsolin is kept on a normal four-day rest schedule, he would be an option to take the hill for the Dodgers' series finale Thursday in St. Louis, if Roberts want to give Julio Urias an additional day of rest between starts. In the event the Dodgers prefer to keep Urias on a normal starting schedule, Gonsolin would likely throw a simulated game or make another rehab appearance this weekend before making his return from the 10-day injured list at some point next week. Gonsolin has been sidelined since July 31 with right shoulder inflammation.
