Tony Gonsolin, a right-handed starter for the Dodgers, has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow discomfort. This injury marks yet another setback for Los Angeles, which is already dealing with multiple starting pitcher injuries across its roster. Gonsolin’s injury record raises questions, especially since he is coming off Tommy John surgery he underwent in August 2023.

In response to Gonsolin’s absence, the team activated both Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech from the injured list. Notably, Gonsolin’s injury makes him the eighth Dodger starter currently on the IL, joining several injured teammates including Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Gavin Stone among others.

With Gonsolin sidelined, the current rotation includes players like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Clayton Kershaw, and Justin Wrobleski as they continue to navigate through these challenges in their pursuit of a strong season. Speculation surrounds Shohei Ohtani’s potential return to the rotation as well. The Dodgers still maintains favorable odds to reach the World Series in spite of these setbacks.
