Instead of rolling with a bullpen game in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander
Tony Gonsolin will make his next start on four days of rest. Gonsolin was originally scheduled to take his next turn in the starting rotation on Tuesday against the Athletics, so this move represents a downgrade for fantasy streaming purposes. Not only will the 30-year-old veteran be pitching on short rest, but he'll be facing a Diamondbacks team that has the fourth-best OPS (.762) at their home ballpark. After a late start to the 2025 season due to injury, Gonsolin has been solid in two starts against the lowly Miami Marlins, allowing five earned runs on 10 hits (two homers) while walking only two and striking out 17 in 11 innings pitched.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher
Tony Gonsolin made his season debut against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The right-hander made his first start since 2023 after recovering from Tommy John surgery and a back issue this spring. He didn't seem to miss a beat as Gonsolin made easy work of the Marlins lineup. The right-hander went six innings, allowing three earned runs on six hits while striking out nine batters in the win. Gonsolin only threw 77 pitches in this one as the Dodgers likely wanted to limit him during his first game back. Fantasy managers who are seeking help in the pitching department should take a look at Gonsolin. He's currently scheduled for a rematch against the Marlins in his next outing.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher
Tony Gonsolin (back) was officially activated off the injured list ahead of his season debut on Wednesday afternoon against the Miami Marlins. Gonsolin has missed the first month of the campaign due to a back injury. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers optioned pitcher
Matt Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Throughout his 14 innings of rehab work, Gonsolin has posted a 3.21 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP. During this stint, Gonsolin has struck out 16 batters and served up six walks. In his last rehab outing, Gonsolin logged a season-high five innings against Triple-A Salt Lake. The 30-year-old has not pitched in an MLB game since the 2023 season, when he logged 103 innings to the tune of a 4.98 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP. He missed all of 2024 after recovering from Tommy John. He does have a favorable matchup this evening against Miami, but it is best to fade in DFS as he may be given a limited workload.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander
Tony Gonsolin (back) will be activated from the 15-day injured list this week and is expected to make his first start of the season and in 20 month against the Miami Marlins at home on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. Gonsolin's last start in the big leagues came on Aug. 18 of 2023, when he allowed 10 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings in a loss to the Marlins at Dodger Stadium. He had season-ending Tommy John surgery two weeks later and didn't pitch at all in 2024 as a result. In his four minor-league rehab starts, the 30-year-old veteran went 1-1 with a 3.21 ERA, 16 strikeouts and six walks in 14 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City. Gonsolin was a first-time All-Star in 2022 when he went 16-1 with a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 24 starts. If he pitches well, he could keep a rotation spot in L.A. with
Blake Snell (elbow) on the IL and
Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) potentially joining him there.
