ST. LOUIS – The injured list giveth and the injured list taketh away.
The Dodgers welcomed two injured relievers back Saturday, activating Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech from the injured list. But right-hander Tony Gonsolin went back to the injured list with right elbow discomfort.
Even with the activations of Yates and Kopech, the Dodgers currently have 14 players on the IL, all pitchers.
Gonsolin missed all of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. His return to the mound this season was delayed by a back injury late in spring training. He made seven starts, going 3-2 with a 5.00 ERA. Most recently, he gave up three runs in five innings in a loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday.
Gonsolin becomes the eighth Dodgers starter currently on the IL, joining Blake Snell, Tyler Glas
