[11] In the World Series, he was selected by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to start Game 2, on two days rest, against the Tampa Bay Rays.

After a few rehab starts, he was activated on June 9 to rejoin the Dodgers starting rotation. [17] His shoulder started hurting again towards the end of July and he was put back on the injured list on July 31. [18] After missing another month, he returned on September 9.

However, he allowed three runs on four hits (including two home runs) to pick up the loss in the game. [20] At the end of August, Gonsolin was placed on the injured list with a forearm strain. [21] He spent the next month recovering and did not return until he made a start on October 3, the second to last day of the regular season. [22] Despite this, his season numbers were a career best. He finished 16–1 with a 2.14 ERA and 119 strikeouts. [10]

On January 31, 2023, Gonsolin signed a two-year, $6.65 million, contract to avoid salary arbitration. [23] However, an ankle injury in spring training led to him beginning the season on the injured list. [24] He rejoined the Dodgers rotation on April 26. [25] He made 20 starts with the Dodgers in 2023, with an 8–5 record and 4.98 ERA [10] but on August 18 against the Miami Marlins he allowed 10 earned runs in 3+1⁄3 innings, including five home runs, tying a team record for most home runs allowed in a game. [26] The following day, he was placed on the injured list with right forearm inflammation. The team said Gonsolin had been dealing with arm issues all year and he was unlikely to pitch again during the season. [27] On August 28, it was confirmed that he would undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his season. [28]
