Dodgers place Tony Gonsolin on injured list with forearm strain
LA TimesThe Dodgers pitching staff took another hit Monday. “I’m definitely feeling optimistic with it, that whenever the IL stint is done, I’m going to be coming off and feeling 100 percent,” Gonsolin said. “It’s overall just kind of playing it safe and really let it heal.” Gonsolin said he’s felt forearm tightness at various points this season, but that the sensation lingered longer than usual after his most recent start last Tuesday. And I think we’re being extra cautious right now putting him on the IL, to be quite honest.” Roberts said the team already had been considering giving Gonsolin some sort of break down the stretch this season, as he’d already doubled his previous MLB-high workload with more than 128 innings this year. “So, now when there’s a little smoke,” Roberts said, “we felt that this is that opportunity.” Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin sits in the dugout with teammates during the fourth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 26 in Phoenix.
