Briefly

Tony Gonsolin Elects Free Agency
"Now 31 years old, Gonsolin looked like a potential rotation stalwart with the Dodgers early in his career. From 2019-22, he pitched a combined 272 2/3 innings with a 2.51 ERA while fanning nearly one quarter of his opponents and posting a solid 8.5% walk rate. A pair of IL stints due to shoulder inflammation, plus time off due to an ankle sprain and forearm inflammation, limited Gonsolin's workload in that four-year period."
"Still, Gonsolin avoided major injury until the 2023 season, when recurring elbow troubles limited him to 103 frames with a 4.98 ERA. He eventually required Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for the entire 2024 campaign. A back injury hobbled him early in 2025, but Gonsolin did return to the mound for the Dodgers in late April. He started seven games, totaled 36 innings and posted a 5.00 ERA before landing back on the injured list with renewed elbow discomfort in early July."
Tony Gonsolin went unclaimed on waivers and elected free agency after being designated for assignment. He underwent a flexor repair and internal brace procedure on his right UCL in August with an eight-to-ten-month recovery timetable. From 2019-22 he produced 272 2/3 innings with a 2.51 ERA, strong strikeout numbers and a solid walk rate, but shoulder inflammation, an ankle sprain and forearm inflammation limited his workload. Recurring elbow troubles in 2023 led to Tommy John surgery that cost him 2024. He returned in late April 2025, made seven starts (36 innings, 5.00 ERA), then went back on the injured list with renewed elbow issues.
