Tony Gonsolin's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (elbow) is set to make his second rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. Gonsolin pitched two scoreless innings in his first rehab start on Tuesday while allowing just two hits and striking out three batters. The 30-year-old has yet to pitch in 2024 as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. The progress in his rehab assignment gives a slight chance that Gonsolin could pitch in the Dodgers' postseason run, but the likelihood is still minimal given the stakes of the postseason. At best Gonsolin could be used as a bullpen arm instead of a starter in October. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues will still want to hold onto Gonsolin but any managers that hoped for and needed the righty to return in 2024 can cut bait. Those looking for immediate help can look to Landon Knack, who has posted a 3.00 ERA in 54 IP coming into Friday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Tony Gonsolin (elbow) on the 60-day injured list on Friday to make room on the active roster for the signing of left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder), who will soon enough join Gonsolin on the 60-day IL. The 29-year-old Gonsolin will miss all of the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, so he will be completely off the fantasy radar in single-year leagues. An ankle sprain caused Gonsolin to get a late start to the 2023 campaign, and he ended up making only 20 starts, going 8-5 with a career-worst 4.98 ERA (5.43 FIP) and 1.22 WHIP while walking 40 and striking out 82 in 103 innings. It was a big disappointment after he was a first-time All-Star in 2022 and a Cy Young candidate after winning 16 games.
