Tony Gonsolin Sidelined To Start The Season
14 seconds agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (back) is reportedly dealing with a back injury he picked up while lifting. It is unfortunate news for the righty, as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts notes that although it is thought to be a minor issue, Gonsolin won't be in the rotation for opening day. Roberts also reported that pitcher Dustin May will take Gonsolin's place as the team's fifth starter. The 30-year-old former ninth-round pick hasn't pitched in a big-league game since 2023 after requiring Tommy John surgery that stemmed from inflammation reported in mid-August. However, he was superb the season prior, compiling a 2.14 ERA and 0.87 WHIP for the team across 24 starts (16-1). It's unclear when Gonsolin will be ready to rejoin the rotation. Still, he could be a valuable arm for fantasy managers if he can recapture his form from a few seasons ago.
