Just when the injuries to the Los Angeles Dodgers' pitching staff couldn't get any worse, it does.
Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman confirmed to the media before Tuesday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels that right-handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin has undergone elbow surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season, along with missing some time in 2026.
Gonsolin underwent an internal brace procedure and flexor repair. According to Freidman, the expected recovery time will range between 8-10 months.
The 31-year-old right-hander has had himself an injury-riddled 2025 that spans even further than that. After his 2022 season, in which he went 16-1 and posted an ERA of 2.14, Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023, which followed him in 2024 and missed the season entirely.
Fast forward to 2025, Gonsolin was set to return to the Dodgers starting rotation before succumbing to a back injury that would sideline him until April.
Gonsolin leaves his 2025 tenue with seven starts under his belt, posting an ERA of 5.00 and a record of 3-2.
