Anthony Gonsolin: Everything you need to know

Gonsolin (elbow) elected to become a free agent Wednesday. Gonsolin passed through waivers unclaimed after the Dodgers designated him for assignment, and he's exercised his right to hit the free-agent market. The 31-year-old underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow in August, so it's unlikely he'll be available to pitch until at least the second half of the 2026 season.

The Dodgers designated Gonsolin (elbow) for assignment Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. A back injury prevented Gonsolin from pitching in the first month of the regular season, and he suffered an elbow injury in June that ultimately required season-ending surgery and will keep him sidelined for the first few months of the 2026 campaign. Assuming the injury-prone righty clears waivers, he will have the right to elect free agency and attempt to find another opportunity elsewhere.

Gonsolin underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Gonsolin has been on the injured list since early June with elbow soreness. After making minimal progress in his recovery, the 31-year-old opted to go under the knife to address the issue, which will officially end his 2025 campaign after just seven starts. His recovery is expected to take roughly 8-to-10 months, putting him in line to return sometime during the first half of the '26 season.
