BREAKING: In a shocking turn of events for Los Angeles Dodgers fans, pitcher Tony Gonsolin has been placed on the injured list with discomfort in his right elbow, just weeks after making a highly anticipated return to the starting rotation. The veteran right-hander, 31, had only recently rejoined the team following an arduous 20-month recovery from Tommy John surgery, a comeback that was expected to bolster the Dodgers’ already beleaguered pitching staff.
This latest injury adds to a growing list of setbacks for the team in 2025, which already includes key players Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Roki Sasaki. The Dodgers’ management had hoped Gonsolin would provide stability in the rotation, especially after he competed for the fifth spot during spring training. However, this unexpected setback raises urgent concerns about the depth and resilience of the Dodgers’ roster.
With Gonsolin sidelined, the pressure now mounts on the remaining pitchers: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Dustin May, and Clayton Kershaw—who must shoulder the burden of keeping the team competitive in the face of mounting adversity. Dodgers management is now racing against the clock to devise a plan, whether it be through internal adjustments or seeking reinforcements from the market.
As fans grapple with this devastating news, the looming question remains: Can the Dodgers’ bullpen handle yet another significant loss? Or will they need to look outside the organization for help? The urgency to find solutions has never been greater. Stay tuned for updates as the situation unfolds.
