Club option picked up The Royals exercised Gonsolin's $2.5 million club option for 2027 on Thursday.

Impact 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.

Lands on IL The Royals placed Gonsolin on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to an allergic reaction.

Impact 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.

Tagged for five runs in team debut 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.

Impact 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.
