Dodgers ActivateTony Gonsolin

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.
