The Los Angeles Dodgers activated
right-handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin
from the 60-day injured list and placed
infielder/outfielder Yoshi Tsutsugo on
the 10-day injured list with a right calf
strain. In order to make room on the
40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred
Scott Alexander to the 60-day injured
list.
Gonsolin, 26, missed 60 games with
right shoulder inflammation. He made
three rehab starts for the Oklahoma
City Dodgers, allowing four runs on six
hits in 10.1 innings. He struck out nine
and allowed three walks. Last season,
he went 2-2 with a 2.31 ERA (12
ER/46.2 IP) and 46 strikeouts in nine
games (eight starts) for the Dodgers.
The Vallejo, CA native has been with
the Dodgers parts of two seasons and
is 6-4 with a 2.60 ERA (25 ERA/86.2
IP) and 83 strikeouts in 20 games (14
starts). He was originally drafted by the
Dodgers in the ninth round of the 2016
First Year Player Draft by the Dodgers
out of Saint Mary’s College.
Tsutsugo, 29, went 3-for-25 with two
RBI in 12 games for the Dodgers. In his
Major League career, he has played in
89 games, batting .155 (47-for-260)
with nine doubles, eight homers and
31 RBI. Prior to coming to the United
States, he was a five-time All-Star
(2015-19) in the Nippon Professional
Baseball League and was three-time
Central League Best of Nine Award recipient
(2015-17). In 10 seasons in the
NPB, he hit a combined .285 (977-for-
3426) with 205 homers and 613 RBI.
