Dodgers Place Tony Gonsolin On 10-Day Injured List

By Mark Polishuk | April 4, 2021 at 10:54pm CDT

Prior to today’s game, the Dodgers placed righty Tony Gonsolin on the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder.  The placement was retroactive to April 1.  Right-hander Dennis Santana was called up from the alternate training site to take Gonsolin’s spot on the active roster.

Manager Dave Roberts told reporters (including Jorge Castillo of the L.A. Times) that Gonsolin has been dealing with the shoulder problem “the last few days,” which explains why Gonsolin has yet to make his 2021 debut.  Gonsolin had been ticketed for a multi-inning bullpen role to begin the season, though given the Dodgers’ penchant for managing pitchers and the right-hander’s own track record over his short MLB career, Gonsolin is likely in line to receive some proper starts as the year goes along.

Gonsolin has a 2.60 ERA/4.11 SIERA over 86 2/3 innings as a big leaguer, starting 14 of his 20 career games over the 2019-20 seasons.  He also started both Game 2 and Game 6 of the World Series last fall, though both of his outings were essentially bullpen games as the Dodgers mixed and matched pitchers throughout the Fall Classic.  With generally above-average career metrics, the 26-year-old Gonsolin would likely be seen as promising rotation building block on a team that wasn’t so deep in pitching, and it’s possible the Dodgers might still use him in a more traditional starter role down the road.

      McGriff is a HOF. Any shoulder issue early in the season on a young starter is not good.

      Here we go with padres homers thinking the worst on a dodgers post. Gotta love it. Imagine thinking gonsolin is crucial to winning another chip.

        He did start two WS games for the Dodgers last year.

          and even beyond that he’s at the very worst excellent depth, which you need in 162. crutial? maybe not, but at the very least quite useful. not a good loss.

        TAT -At least no one is proclaiming that he needs TJ surgery like you and a few of your friends say about all of the Padres pitchers every time. You think it is only the Padres homers saying “not good”? Ask a Dodger fan -“Is this good?” I suspect any with any reasonable sense would say “no, not good”. Which I might point out is what the above posters said.

          Almost like when lamet who’s had a history of Tommy John missing the end of last season being unable to pitch in playoffs. That guy? So far most dodgers fans were right about Clevinger too….padres fans just don’t want to hear bad news.

          Tony has shoulder inflammation which most likely means he ramped up too fast. He didn’t play much during spring training and this guy is posting “yikes not good?”

          I’d be more worried about darvish reverting back to 2018 darvish and lamet making it through a full 162 game season with the threads he calls his ucl.

          Are shoulder injuries ever good? Do you think the Doyers want Santana on their roster instead of Tony? He’s done nothing but pitch great since he became a dodger. Hopefully he is just behind and a little sore. Last year it was May who wasn’t ready to start the year but didn’t matter because of how well Tony G pitched. I would love the Angels to have this guy. Angel fans would not be surprised to hear of an Angel pitcher hurt either. Goo Angels!

    It’s pretty common actually, though obviously not ideal for bullpen arm in particular.

    I would not worry at all about 10 days for shoulder inflammation. Besides Gonsolin is their #7 or so starter and if any team can lose a starter without it being a problem, it’s the Dodgers.

    Don’t the Dodgers always do this? Rotate starters (I’m classifying Gonsolin as a starter because that was and will be his role eventually) by shuffling them on and off the 10-day IL so they can effectively run with a 6-man rotation and not be short a bullpen arm? It’s a savvy but tired trick they’ve played since the 10-day IL’s introduction.

      They do, but this isn’t a case of giving a starter a rest with a phantom injury, if only because Gonsolin hasn’t pitched yet this season.

    Going to be lots of injuries to pitchers. Unfortunately the 60 game season will have a real impact this year

    He hurt his arm trying to wrestle that cat away from security at Coors Field.

    The Dodgers staff veterinarian was optimistic that he’d be back soon.
