Lasts 3.2 innings Gonsolin allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings against the Phillies on Monday. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Gonsolin looked a bit more comfortable in his second start back since returning from the injured list. He had a rocky first inning in which he gave up a run after allowing two hits and two walks but settled in pretty nicely thereafter. The 27-year-old still struggled a bit with his command, as he needed 81 pitches to get through 3.2 innings and has eight walks over 5.1 innings so far this year. He'll take a 3.38 ERA into a favorable matchup against the plummeting Diamondbacks this weekend.

Short outing in return Gonsolin (shoulder) allowed a run on two hits and five walks with four strikeouts in 1.2 innings versus Pittsburgh on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Gonsolin was expected to be on a workload limit, but he didn't make things easier on himself. The right-hander only threw 33 of his 66 pitches for strikes in the abbreviated outing. He also allowed an RBI single to Gregory Polanco, which was Pittsburgh's only run in the contest. Gonsolin will likely remain on a pitch count for a bit longer. He'll look to improve his command in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week versus Philadelphia.

Activated prior to start The Dodgers activated Gonsolin (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Wednesday against the Pirates.
Impact Los Angeles placed first baseman/outfielder Yoshi Tsutsugo (calf) on the 10-day IL and transferred reliever Scott Alexander (shoulder) to the 60-day IL to clear room for Gonsolin on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster, respectively. After tossing 3.2 innings (60 pitches) in his third and final rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City last week, Gonsolin could be subject to a workload restriction in his first start with the Dodgers of 2021. The right-hander was a key piece of the Los Angeles rotation in 2020, logging a 2.31 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 8.9 K/9 in nine outings (eight starts).

Impact It was reported Sunday that the Dodgers were expected to activate Gonsolin to make his 2021 debut Wednesday. Roberts confirmed that the right-hander will take the ball during Game 2 of the three-game set, though it's not yet known how the club will make room for him on the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Gonsolin posted a strong 2.31 ERA and 0.84 WHIP across 46.2 innings last season.

Impact Gonsolin will step into the rotation spot that has most recently been occupied by David Price, who has worked as an opening pitcher in bullpen games the last three times his turn has come up. The Dodgers will look for Gonsolin to provide more length after the right-hander built up his pitch count to 60 (over 3.2 innings) in his third and final rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City on June 3. Gonsolin could be capped at around 75 pitches as he steps into the rotation, but he shouldn't face many restrictions in any subsequent starts he makes after Wednesday.

Impact Gonsolin made the Dodgers' Opening Day roster but didn't pitch in a game before landing on the injured list in early April due to right shoulder inflammation. He's ready to go now following three rehab starts and will head straight to the starting rotation, though he's likely to be on a pitch count for his first few outings. He didn't throw more than 3.2 innings in any of his rehab appearances, as a stomach bug limited him to 60 pitches in his latest start despite the Dodgers hoping he'd get to 75.

Needs one more rehab outing Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Gonsolin (shoulder) will make one more rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City before returning from the 60-day injured list next week,...
Impact Gonsolin most recently made his second rehab start for Oklahoma City on May 28, tossing 3.2 innings (55 pitches) in that outing. The Dodgers likely want to see the right-hander get stretched out closer to 75 pitches before the team feels comfortable inserting him into the big-league rotation. If all goes well during his upcoming turn with Oklahoma City -- which will likely come Wednesday or Thursday -- Gonsolin would line up to make his first start with the Dodgers at some point during next week's three-game series in Pittsburgh, which begins June 8.
