Dodgers decide between Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May for Opening Day rotation
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation for the 2025 season is taking shape, with increased depth but missing key pitchers like Shohei Ohtani and Clayton Kershaw initially. Manager Dave Roberts affirmed Dustin May as the fifth starter over Tony Gonsolin, who is sidelined by a minor back injury. Bobby Miller, a contender for the role, is currently held back due to a concussion. While May prefers being a starter, he remains flexible about his role on the team, indicating team-first mentality despite the competition.
Dustin May is back. Big Red is back, which is great. Tony Gonsolin had a little hiccup with his back lifting weights, but he'll be back.
Manager Dave Roberts indicated the competition for the fifth starter spot narrowed down to Gonsolin and May, particularly after Bobby Miller’s concussion put him on protocol.
Prior to his injury, there were beliefs that Gonsolin had the inside track over May for the final spot in the Dodgers' starting rotation.
Dustin May stated his preference was to remain a starter but would embrace any role within the team as needed.
