Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin is currently facing elbow pain but has received reassuring news that his UCL is intact. Although he is sidelined from throwing, manager Dave Roberts emphasized that the injury might stem from past surgeries or inflammation. Gonsolin's situation is part of a larger challenge for the Dodgers, as they navigate a crowded injured list yet maintain their lead in the NL West. Despite a 5.00 ERA, his performance this season has shown promise with 38 strikeouts across 36 innings.
"The UCL is intact ... which is great news," Roberts said. "He's going to be down from throwing. I don't know when that is going to be again. I think the main takeaway is the UCL is intact."
Gonsolin likely will go through a period where the goal is to get the pain calmed down. Scans indicate no real issue, which means the pain could be managed with rest and recovery.
