Gonsolin (ankle) has resumed a throwing program, but the time lost means the Dodgers will need Ryan Pepiot or Michael Grove to take his spot to begin the season.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Dodgers manager Dave Roberts bowed to the obvious for the first time Friday, acknowledging that Tony Gonsolin opening the season in the starting rotation “is not going to happen.”
Gonsolin had just one start in the Cactus League before his injury, going three innings against the Angels two weeks ago. That means he will need to start his buildup from scratch once he gets cleared to throw off a mound. Pepiot started Friday against the Chicago Cubs and allowed one run over three innings. He came out of the game at that point due to discomfort in his side, Roberts said. Michael Grove is scheduled to start Saturday against the Chicago White Sox.
Vargas and shortstop Chris Taylor turned three double plays in five innings against the Cubs, two started by Vargas.
