Tony Gonsolin did not look like himself on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. In what was by far the worst outing of his career, the 29-year-old lasted just 3.1 innings, allowing 10 earned runs and five home runs. The start ballooned his ERA to 4.98, and put his status in the Dodgers’ rotation very much in question.
After the game, though, we got some clarity on his recent struggles. While it wasn’t an excuse, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made it clear that he’s been dealing with some sort of injury for the last four to six weeks.
