Back in June, Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman acknowledged the possibility of Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May both potentially making their MLB debut this season and contributing out of the bullpen.
Months later, the organization’s top two pitching prospects figure to factor heavily into the Dodgers’ outlook for October. Each helped fill the void in the starting rotation while Rich Hill recovered from a flexor strain, and now the young right-handers are being viewed as candidates for the bullpen.
Gonsolin was scheduled to start Wednesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays but instead pitched in relief.
