Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin was a Cy Young candidate until a strained forearm landed him on the injured list at the end of August. While the initial hope was that he would only be out a couple weeks, Gonsolin’s recovery has been slower than he and the Dodgers had hoped.
Gonsolin threw a bullpen session on Wednesday, and Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said it was “encouraging,” according to Bill Plunkett in the Orange County Register.
Roberts also left the door open for Gonsolin’s role on the postseason pitching stuff to be in the bullpen, rather than the starting rotation.
