Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin has begun a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, marking his first game since undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2023. Gonsolin had previously struggled with an elbow injury during the 2023 season, resulting in a disappointing 4.98 ERA. His return is particularly timely as the Dodgers face pitching challenges due to injuries to Clayton Kershaw and Gavin Stone. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that while Gonsolin's return to the majors this season is possible, it would likely be in a relief role. Gonsolin remains optimistic about his comeback, expressing a desire for a fresh start and better performance. His experience and past success, including an All-Star season in 2022, could be vital for the Dodgers' pitching depth heading into the postseason.
