Dodgers’ Tony Gonsolin Undergoes Season-Ending Tommy John Revision

The procedure carries an 8–10 month recovery that is likely to delay his return until mid-2026, deepening the team’s rotation shortfall.

Overview

  • Tony Gonsolin underwent a Tommy John revision surgery Tuesday that included an internal brace procedure and flexor cleanup, Dodgers president Andrew Friedman confirmed.
  • The club projects an 8–10 month recovery timeline, which will sideline him for the rest of 2025 and push his comeback into the middle of the next season.
  • After recovering from spring-training back issues, the 31-year-old made seven starts this year—posting a 3-2 record and 5.00 ERA—before elbow pain returned in early June.
  • This latest setback follows his 2023 Tommy John surgery and the entire 2024 season lost to recovery, extending a multi-year pattern of arm injuries that has strained Los Angeles’s pitching depth.
  • With Gonsolin earning $5.4 million in 2025 and poised for his final arbitration-eligible season, his prolonged absence presents both financial and roster-planning challenges for the Dodgers.
