Roberts said Gonsolin suffered the back injury while lifting weights, and now won’t be the team’s No. 5 starter. Instead, right-handed pitcher Dustin May has won the competition.
“I think it’s Dustin because, he’s obviously pitched well, getting back,” Roberts said. “Tony with the little hiccup, just not being able to build up. I think Dustin makes a lot of sense.”

Gonsolin and May were competing for the No. 5 starter spot along with right-handed pitcher Bobby Miller, who got hit with a comebacker off the forehead in the Cactus League opener which ultimately took him out of the running for the job.
