Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said pitcher Tony Gonsolin, pictured, is “still a longshot” to figure into the team’s October plans. But the Dodgers have become more open to all possibilities with recent injuries to Tyler Glasnow and Gavin Stone making the postseason pitching staff very unclear. MIAMI — The Dodgers are holding the door open to a potential postseason role for a player who is rehabbing from elbow surgery last September.
Gonsolin threw 50 pitches in 2⅔ innings in his most recent rehab start and will try to get through four innings in his next start. He could return as a starter or reliever. “If that’s where we’re at, that’s what we’ll do,” Roberts said. “Whatever gives us the best chance to win a particular game is what we’re gonna do.”Veteran left-hander Clayton Kershaw has not given up hope on pitching again this year even though the pain in his left big toe persists.
Kershaw hasn’t pitched in a game since August 30 when he left after one inning due to the pain in his toe.During the series in Atlanta, Roberts dropped Freddie Freeman to fourth in the batting order in the two games started by left-handers , putting two right-handed hitters between the left-handers Shohei Ohtani and Freeman.
