Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin is making strides towards a return after Tommy John surgery, with a recent bullpen session fueling hopes for his comeback this season.
When manager Dave Roberts was asked about Gonsolin, his response was more tight-lipped. However, he did say that if Gonsolin returned this season then he would be in the bullpen.. “If all things line up, great, and if it doesn’t then we can pivot to ’25. But I think that his mindset that the door is not completely closed on ’24 is a good thing.”
There isn't a clear timetable for Gonsolin's return but it could become a little clearer during the first week of September.. “We have to see how I am recovering after each live BP and go from there.” Gonsolin was a ninth-round selection in the 2016 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft and made his big league debut on June 26, 2019. He slowly earned more innings each season until he finally broke through in 2022.
The right-hander was 16-1 with a 2.14 earned run average in 24 starts and was named an All-Star for the first time. Because of his success in 2022, Gonsolin had high expectations for the 2023 season but he ended up pitching through elbow discomfort. It resulted in an 8-5 record with a 4.98 ERA in 20 starts. The Dodgers placed him on the 15-day injured list a few times that season but he was transferred to 60-day IL on Aug. 27, 2023, which ended his season.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn.
