Dodgers’ Tony Gonsolin Makes Return Against Marlins in Series Finale

After 20 months away from the mound, Tony Gonsolin will make his long-awaited return for the Los Angeles Dodgers when he faces the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in the series finale at Dodger Stadium.

Gonsolin’s Comeback Story

Gonsolin last pitched in the majors on Aug. 18, 2023, against the very same Marlins, exiting after 3 1/3 rough innings due to an elbow injury that led to Tommy John surgery. Now, fully recovered, he’ll look to reestablish himself in a Dodgers rotation plagued by injuries.

“We thought our starters would be a position of strength for us from a workload standpoint, and unfortunately we lead all of baseball in innings for relievers,” pitching coach Mark Prior said.

Gonsolin’s brief history against Miami hasn’t been kind: 0-1 with a 10.38 ERA across two starts. But for Los Angeles, this start is more about health and future contributions than immediate dominance.

Dodgers Bullpen Holds the Line

With starters Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Clayton Kershaw all sidelined, the Dodgers bullpen stepped up Tuesday in a 15-2 blowout win. Jack Dreyer and Matt Sauer combined for seven strong innings, with Sauer earning his first major league win after being recalled earlier that day.

The Dodgers have now won four straight and have erupted offensively with 39 runs during that span. Bettors tracking momentum should check out the latest MLB Runline Picks to weigh how Gonsolin’s return and L.A.’s offensive burst could impact today’s odds.
