Tony Gonsolin (elbow) threw five shutout innings for Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, allowing just three hits and striking out two.

Gonsolin threw 64 pitches in this one, with 66 percent of them landing for strikes. His four-seamer sat just 91.9 mph, but he commanded it well and got a few whiffs. The splitter was his best swing-and-miss offering, and he commanded that well too. He also showed off slightly different movement profiles on his curve and slider, which could be worth keeping an eye on. Coming off last year’s elbow surgery, it seems likely that Gonsolin could be up with the Royals for his next start or the one after.
