23 Sep
Summary
- Tony Gonsolin returns from elbow surgery to pitch for the Royals.
- He aims to impress the team for a potential 2027 contract.
- Gonsolin was an All-Star with the Dodgers in 2022.
Tony Gonsolin has been reinstated from the injured list by the Kansas City Royals. The veteran right-hander underwent internal brace surgery on his right elbow in 2025. He is now looking to impress the Royals over the next week, essentially auditioning for a spot on the team in 2027.
Gonsolin, who was an All-Star with the Dodgers in 2022, previously had Tommy John surgery that caused him to miss the 2024 season. He pitched 16 1/3 innings on a rehab assignment with Omaha before joining the Major League club for their final homestand of the 2026 season.
Royals manager Matt Quatraro stated that Gonsolin will pitch out of the bullpen during this upcoming week. The team is eager to see him perform, given his proven track record and successful rehabilitation.
