Tagged for 10 in Tampa Stone did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits over two innings against the Rays. He struck out three.

Impact It was a nightmare of an outing for Stone, who allowed seven runs on 10 hits over just two innings. Stone has allowed 16 earned runs over his first three MLB starts (10 innings), putting his ERA at 14.40 with a 3.00 WHIP and 5:7 K:BB. The Dodgers still view Stone as a long-term rotation piece, but he doesn't seem ready to face MLB lineups yet.

Picking up another start Stone is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Impact In his return to the majors Monday in Atlanta, Stone took a no-decision in the Dodgers' 8-6 win after working four innings while allowing five earned runs on five hits and five walks. Despite his poor results in his first two big-league starts, Stone will get at least one more chance to prove he belongs in the rotation while the Dodgers are short on healthy starting options. Michael Grove (groin) looked sharp in his first rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City last weekend, and once he's activated from the 15-day injured list, he could be an option to take Stone's spot in the rotation if the rookie's struggles continue in Tampa.

Stumbles early Stone yielded five runs on five hits and five walks over four-plus innings in Monday's win over Atlanta. He struck out one and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Atlanta jumped on Stone early, plating four runs in the first inning. He tossed a few scoreless frames before walking two batters to begin the fifth inning. Stone was charged with one more run after leaving the game. The right-handed rookie has given up nine runs with an ugly 2:7 K:BB through his first two career MLB starts. It's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation.

Recalled for start Stone was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Stone will start Monday in Atlanta and will have an opportunity to prove he should stick around for a while as the Dodgers battle injuries in their rotation. The right-hander struggled in his major-league debut earlier this month and has been up-and-down at OKC, although he pitched better there lately. Stone's upside warrants him being rostered, although it would be wise to keep him on the bench for Monday's outing.

Starting Monday Stone will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Monday in Atlanta, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact It won't be just a spot start for the 24-year-old, as manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander will fill the rotation spot of Dustin May (forearm) for the "foreseeable future." Stone made his big-league debut May 3 versus the Phillies and surrendered four runs on eight hits with two walks and one strikeout over four frames, but he posted a 2.45 ERA with 14 strikeouts in two starts since returning to Triple-A.

MAY 19, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Likely rotation replacement Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Stone "makes the most sense" to replace Dustin May (forearm) in the starting rotation, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Michael Grove (groin) is traveling with the Dodgers, but only on the taxi squad for now, and it sounds like he'll be used in relief if -- or when -- he is activated. Stone racked up 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings in his last start Tuesday at Triple-A Oklahoma City and can comfortably slot into May's spot Monday at Atlanta. May is out for at least a month with a flexor strain, so both Grove and Stone could ultimately get rotation turns. Bobby Miller might eventually be an option as well.

Optioned to Triple-A Stone was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact Stone struggled in his MLB debut against the Phillies on Wednesday while allowing five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits and two walks over four innings. He's considered one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, and while he's heading back to Oklahoma City for now, he has a good chance of making starts for the Dodgers again in the summer months.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in debut Stone did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over four innings against Philadelphia. He struck out one.

Impact It certainly wasn't the debut Stone would have imagined, but he was spared the loss as the Dodgers overcame a 5-0 deficit to beat the Phillies. Stone featured a fastball that averaged 93 MPH, countered by an 82 MPH changeup that he threw 43 percent of the time. The 24-year-old right-hander should get another shot in the Majors at some point this year, though he'll likely head back to Triple-A for the time being.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Promotion official The Dodgers selected Stone's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies in Los Angeles.

Impact Los Angeles already had a spot open on the 40-man roster for Stone, but reliever Alex Vesia was optioned to Oklahoma City to clear room on the 26-man active roster for the 24-year-old righty, who is one of the organization's top pitching prospects. The addition of Stone gives the Dodgers six starters for the time being, but a strong debut outing could earn the rookie a more permanent spot in the rotation, given that Noah Syndergaard is on an expiring contract and has mostly struggled through his first six starts (6.32 ERA, 1.40 WHIP in 31.1 innings). Stone's numbers at Triple-A weren't eye-popping (4.74 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 14.3 K-BB% in six starts), though it comes with the caveat that he was pitching in largely hitter-friendly venues in the Pacific Coast League.

Gavin Stone’s MLB debut signals next wave of Dodgers pitching prospects

Confirmed to start Wednesday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Stone will start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Dodgers played things coy for as long as they could, but it's not official that Stone will make his MLB debut against Philadelphia on Wednesday. The right-hander ranks as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, and he allowed just one over his last two outings while forging a 15:4 K:BB. Stone has three pitches that can miss bats and has shown the ability to command those offerings, but those who are considering using the 24-year-old in fantasy should be aware of the risk that comes from an MLB debut.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

MLB debut likely Wednesday Stone will be called up by the Dodgers to start against the Phillies on Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stone will be flying to Los Angeles in preparation for that start against Philadelphia. The right-hander is considered one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, and while he's posted a 4.74 ERA over 24.2 innings thus far with Triple-A Oklahoma City, he's allowed just one run over his last two outings while registering a 15:4 K:BB ratio. Stone's stuff is good enough for him to find immediate success, but the Phillies will present a challenging first test for the 24-year-old's MLB debut.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In consideration for start Stone is being considered for a start with the Dodgers next week, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact A spot opened up with Michael Grove (groin) landing on the injured list. Stone is just one of the options to fill in, as the Dodgers are also mulling bringing Tony Gonsolin (ankle) back early or skipping the turn. It might not be the best timing for Stone's debut, as he's off to a slow start with Triple-A Oklahoma City with a 7.20 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 15 innings. However, he remains one of the best pitching prospects in baseball so there would be plenty of intrigue if he does garner the call.
