Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Sunday that scans of Gonsolin's injured right elbow showed that his UCL is intact, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery late in 2023, and there was concern about the health of his UCL when he experienced right elbow discomfort following his most recent start June 5. Despite the good news, Gonsolin will stop throwing for an undetermined period. He was placed on the 15-day IL on Saturday, but it's not clear how long he will be out of action.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Lands on IL with elbow injury
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Gonsolin on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Gonsolin last started Wednesday when he allowed three runs (two earned) over five innings in a loss to the Mets. The right-hander began the campaign on the IL due to a back injury, but this is the first word of Gonsolin dealing with an elbow issue. It's unclear how Los Angeles will immediately replace Gonsolin in the rotation, as the team activated a pair of relievers -- Michael Kopech (shoulder) and Kirby Yates (hamstring) -- from the IL on Saturday.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Gets little run support in loss
Rotowire
Gonsolin (3-2) took the loss against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out six batters over five innings.
In Gonsolin's previous start, he served up four home runs but was still able to earn a victory behind a potent Dodgers offense. The right-hander had a better stat line Wednesday with only one long ball and two earned runs allowed, but Los Angeles didn't score until the ninth frame, saddling Gonsolin with his second loss of the campaign. There were some positive takeaways despite the defeat, as he racked up an impressive 17 whiffs and tied a season-low mark with three hits allowed. He's still struggling with his control, though, as Gonsolin has walked multiple batters in six straight starts and has a poor 5.4 K/9 over 30 innings during that span.
Gonsolin (3-1) allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win Friday over the Yankees.
Gonsolin served up four home runs in this outing, but he was fortunate that three of them were solo shots. After a positive start to the season, Gonsolin has allowed at least four runs while walking at least three batters in each of his last three outings. He's now at a 5.23 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 31 innings through six starts. The right-hander's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Mets.
Gonsolin (2-1) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Gonsolin allowed a constant stream of baserunners in the outing and didn't retire the side in order until his fifth and final frame. The right-hander wasn't hit all that hard, however -- only one of the knocks (a Juan Soto two-run double) against him went for extra bases. Gonsolin looked very good in beginning the campaign by allowing just five runs with a 21:4 K:BB over 16 innings across his first three starts, but he's scuffled since, yielding eight runs with a 7:8 K:BB across nine frames in his past two appearances. He'll look to get back on track in what's projected to be a tough home matchup against the Yankees next weekend.
Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Struggles with bloody finger
Rotowire
Gonsolin didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Angels, allowing four runs on four hits and five walks with three strikeouts over four innings.
Per Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Gonsolin picked some dead skin off the thumb on his throwing hand following his pregame bullpen, which led to frequent bleeding while he was on the mound. As a result, he walked five batters, matching his previous career high that was set in 2021. Gonsolin missed the first month of the season due to a back injury, but the veteran right-hander has made four straight starts since being activated. Sunday's outing ballooned his ERA from 2.81 to 4.05. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Mets in New York next weekend.
Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Tosses five scoreless frames
Rotowire
Gonsolin (2-0) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four over five scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.
Gonsolin landed just 48 of 84 pitches for strikes but still put together a strong start. It was his first scoreless outing in 2025, and he's now at a 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 16 innings through three starts. Gonsolin is providing quality innings for a Dodger rotation that's been battered by injuries in the early going. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Angels.
Gonsolin will start Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Gonsolin was slated to start Tuesday against the Athletics, but the Dodgers will bypass a bullpen game Sunday and instead start him on regular rest. Gonsolin has been sharp in two starts this season, maintaining a 17:2 K:BB across 11 frames of work.
