Gonsolin was originally supposed to pitch Sunday, but the right-hander didn't take the ball until Thursday. In his fourth rehab start while recovering from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, the 32-year-old matched his pitch total from last time out, throwing 64 pitches with 38 going for strikes. There's still time for Gonsolin to potentially make a start for the Royals, though the longtime Dodger may ultimately not make it back to a big-league mound before season's end.

Gonsolin kept the opposition off the board in his third rehab start, throwing 42 of 64 pitches for strikes. The right-hander joined the Royals on Aug. 13 after going unsigned much of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace that he underwent in August 2025. Gonsolin is scheduled for another rehab outing Sunday, per MLB.com, and if all goes well, he could make his Kansas City debut the following time he takes the mound after that point.

Making his organizational debut after signing with the Royals on Aug. 13, Gonsolin turned in an encouraging performance in what was his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace just over a year ago. He spotted 23 of his 40 pitches for strikes and induced five whiffs on the night while averaging 92 mph with his four-seam fastball. The right-hander will likely need to build up his pitch count over at least two or three more rehab starts before the Royals bring him back from the injured list and potentially give him a look in the rotation in September.

Gonsolin (elbow) is on track to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha this week, per MLB.com.

Gonsolin signed with the Royals on Aug. 13 and is nearing the final stage of his recovery from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, which he underwent on his right elbow in August 2025. The right-hander's first outing is expected to last approximately three innings or 50 pitches. It remains to be seen how many rehab starts Kansas City plans to give him, but Gonsolin figures to receive some starting opportunities with the big-league club down the stretch in September.

Gonsolin, who underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace in his right elbow in August 2025, inked a one-year deal with the Royals on Thursday as his recovery nears its final stages. Provided the right-hander doesn't experience any renewed discomfort, Kansas City hopes to send him on a rehab assignment soon. In 86 career outings with the Dodgers, Gonsolin posted a 3.34 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 411.2 innings, though injuries have been a recurring issue for the 32-year-old.
