Rays left-hander Blake Snell, a former American
League Cy Young Award winner, will start Wednesday.
Gonsolin enters the Game 2 appearance with just two days of rest
after a poor outing Sunday in Game 7 of the National League
Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves. He lasted
two-plus innings and gave up two runs on two hits and three
walks with one strikeout, but the Dodgers went on to win 4-3.
Right-hander Dustin May and left-hander Julio Urias, who also
pitched Sunday, will be available for relief duty Wednesday,
Roberts said.
Right-hander Walker Buehler, who fired six shutout innings to
beat the Braves in Game 6 on Saturday, is scheduled to start
Game 3. The Dodgers' pitching plans for Game 4 are uncertain.
In Gonsolin's only other postseason outing, he started Game 2 of
the NLCS, and the Braves tagged him for five runs on three hits
in 4 1/3 innings. He walked three, struck out seven and was the
losing pitcher as Atlanta prevailed 8-7.
Gonsolin, 25, went 2-2 with a 2.31 ERA in nine games (eight
starts) during the 2020 regular season. He broke into the majors
with the Dodgers in 2019, when he finished 4-2 with a 2.93 ERA
in 11 games (six starts).
The Rays had not confirmed their rotation plans beyond Game 2.
