Dodgers News: Tony Gonsolin Injury Update is Less Than Ideal

Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin has been on the injured list since August 29 with a proper forearm pressure, and whereas the unique studies had been that the group caught it early and solely expected Gonsolin to miss the minimum 15 days, the optimism appears to have been misplaced.

Final week, we received information that Gonsolin’s arm wasn’t “responding” the way in which that they had hoped, and he went for an MRI. The MRI came back clean, however we received phrase on Tuesday that the righty’s restoration goes extra slowly than that they had hoped.

#Dodgers Tony Gonsolin performed a bit of little bit of catch at present. Wasn’t fully letting it go. Dave Roberts stated they’re nonetheless optimistic Gonsolin may have sufficient time to construct up, however acknowledged that he’s not progressing as shortly as they initially thought.

With Gonsolin’s IL stint backdated to August 26, he will likely be eligible to return to the energetic roster on September 10. Now, with this announcement 4 days earlier than that date, it seems that the goalposts have shifted a bit. As a substitute of aiming to have him again on September 10, the hope now could be to have him again in time to prepare for the postseason.

Dave Roberts acknowledged that Tony Gonsolin isn’t progressing as shortly as they’d initially hoped, and that the calendar to get him again is tight, however stated he nonetheless has confidence Gonsolin can come again and be absolutely stretched out to begin.

Assuming they’d need Gonsolin to get three begins earlier than the postseason, we will rely backwards. The final begin might come on the ultimate day of the season, because the Dodgers may have a bye within the first spherical and doubtless wouldn’t be planning on Gonsolin for Recreation 1 anyway. So if Gonsolin had been to return someday through the sequence with the Cardinals on September 23-25, that might give him time to get three begins earlier than the tip of the season.

That’s nearly three weeks, so Gonsolin enjoying catch on Tuesday might be step in that path. We gained’t be seeing him as quickly as we had hoped, however it nonetheless appears possible we’ll see him in October, when it actually issues.
