Gonsolin returns from injury and has a quality starting remedy, and the Dodgers start rotate The team completed the sweep of the Marlins

The long-awaited Rej3ctz melody to "Cat Daddy" resounded at Dodgers Stadium before the game — a signal of Tony Gonsolin's return to major league pitching.

On Wednesday afternoon, Gonsolin missed three points on six innings in a 12-7 win over the Marlins and sent nine strikeouts to help the Dodgers complete a three-game sweep. It was his first major league appearance since Aug. 18, 2023, and apart from Kyle Stowers' two-point shot and a second-base hit with a putted hit, he was incisive and made 17 free runs (the most in a single game since 2022). After each strikeout, a string of cat meows is played on the stadium radio.

Gunthorin missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, and 2025 spring training was expected to be a five-day starter, but he was on the 15-day injured list late in training with a weight room injury and a back injury. "It was a great game, but it was hit by a non-baseball injury," Gonsorin admitted last month, "but it was a small setback and I will use it to strengthen my form." "

The Dodgers didn't think of it as a regular TJ postoperative shooter — his rehab was nearing completion at the end of last season, and could even be a contingency option for the 2024 playoffs. The return was crucial for the injured Dodgers: Blake Snell, the opening left pitcher, and Tyler Glasnow, the right pitcher, both had an undecided return date due to a shoulder inflammation on the pitch.

The addition of Gonthorin gives the Dodgers four healthy starters on the active roster that will be crucial for the upcoming 10-day tri-city away games (Atlanta, Miami, Phoenix). "His return is significant," head coach Dave Roberts stressed, "and we need starting pitchers to eat more innings, and Tony is the answer." "

In terms of hitting the line, Mookie Betts doubled with 4 RBIs, and Teoscar Hernández continued his hot hand with 3 hits and 2 RBIs. Dodgers have won seven of their last eight games and lead the National League West with a 20-10 record.
