Dodgers All-Star Tony Gonsolin was scheduled to start the series finale this afternoon in Miami, but word just came down that he won’t be making the start.
#Dodgers Tony Gonsolin, who was scheduled to start tonight against the Marlins, has just been placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm strain. Michael Grove starts tonight.
Instead of starting against the Marlins, Gonsolin will be heading to the injured list with a forearm strain, retroactive to August 26. That means he’s out until at least September 10.
The fact that the Dodgers bothered to backdate the IL stint could be a good sign that they don’t expect Gonsolin to miss much time, but it’s unlikely that it’s a “load management” IL stint.
