Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Friday that right-hander Tony Gonsolin won't be ready for opening day because of a sprained ankle.

The 28-year-old had his best season in 2022 - earning his first All-Star nod in the process - and finished with a 16-1 record and 2.14 ERA in 130 1/3 innings while giving up just 79 hits.

The Dodgers have several options to fill Gonsolin's spot. The most likely candidates are Ryan Pepiot, Michael Grove, and Andre Jackson.
