The Royals exercised Gonsolin's $2.5 million club option for 2027 on Thursday.
Gonsolin missed almost all of the regular season while working his way back from Tommy John surgery, but he made it back in time to make one start for the big club in late September, during which he allowed five earned runs on four hits and three walks while fanning five batters in 2.2 innings. Despite struggling in his lone MLB outing, the Royals liked what they saw enough to pay $2.5 million to bring the 32-year-old righty back for 2027 and have him compete for a rotation spot.

The Royals placed Gonsolin on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to an allergic reaction.
James McArthur (elbow) was reinstated to take Gonsolin's spot on the active roster for the final day of the regular season. Gonsolin spent most of the year on the mend from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, returning for a lone big-league appearance Sept. 22, when he allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 2.2 innings against the White Sox.

Gonsolin allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 2.2 innings of relief Tuesday against the White Sox.
Working out of the bullpen, Gonsolin got through the fifth and sixth innings unscathed before imploding in a five-run seventh frame, surrendering a two-run homer to Munetaka Murakami. In his debut with the Royals and first big-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure in August 2025, the right-hander logged 63 pitches (35 strikes). Gonsolin is likely to remain in the bullpen for the final five games of 2026, but he could compete for a role in the starting rotation in 2027 if Kansas City picks up his team option.

The Royals activated Gonsolin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Gonsolin logged a rehab start Thursday against Triple-A Iowa, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out three over five innings, and the club has determined that he's ready to return from the shelf after undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure in August 2025. It remains to be seen whether he'll draw a start before the 2026 season comes to a close or if he'll work out of bullpen for the final six games of the year.

Gonsolin (elbow) allowed three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out three over five innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.
Gonsolin was originally supposed to pitch Sunday, but the right-hander didn't take the ball until Thursday. In his fourth rehab start while recovering from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, the 32-year-old matched his pitch total from last time out, throwing 64 pitches with 38 going for strikes. There's still time for Gonsolin to potentially make a start for the Royals, though the longtime Dodger may ultimately not make it back to a big-league mound before season's end.

Gonsolin (elbow) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out two over five scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Gonsolin kept the opposition off the board in his third rehab start, throwing 42 of 64 pitches for strikes. The right-hander joined the Royals on Aug. 13 after going unsigned much of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace that he underwent in August 2025. Gonsolin is scheduled for another rehab outing Sunday, per MLB.com, and if all goes well, he could make his Kansas City debut the following time he takes the mound after that point.
