Romy González's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (wrist) is not progressing as the team had hoped and is not close to a return from the 10-day injured list. Gonzalez landed on the injured list with a left-wrist sprain on April 13, but the good news is he's not dealing with any structural damage. There's no timetable on the 27-year-old's return since he has yet to resume baseball activities. Once he is able to come back from the injured list, Gonzalez will serve as infield depth for the BoSox up the middle behind Ceddanne Rafaela, and eventually, Vaughn Grissom (hamstring). So far in his first season in Beantown, Gonzalez has only seen action in two games and has gone 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez's (wrist) MRI exam came back clean, according to manager Alex Cora. The Red Sox sent Gonzalez for testing after he felt pain in his left wrist when swinging the bat on Wednesday, but the 27-year-old has dodged a bullet in terms of structural damage in his wrist. He's still on the 10-day injured list, though, and probably isn't going to be ready to return to the big-league club when he's eligible to return. Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in his two games played with the BoSox this year before getting hurt. When healthy, he'll serve as middle-infield depth (mainly at second base) and isn't much of a fantasy asset.

The Boston Red Sox have claimed utility player Romy Gonzalez off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. The 27-year-old had been designated for assignment by Chicago in order to make 40-man roster space for relief pitcher John Brebbia. Gonzalez appeared in 44 games for the White Sox in 2023, hitting .194 with three home runs, seven stolen bases, and a .584 OPS across 97 trips to the plate. He struck out in a hefty 37.1% of his plate appearances and drew walks at a measly 2.1% clip. He spent the bulk of his time with the White Sox at second base but also appeared at third base, shortstop, and all three outfield spots with the club in 2023. He could battle for a utility role in Boston with Vaughn Grissom set to handle the bulk of duties at the keystone in 2024.

To make room on the 40-man roster for recently signed right-hander John Brebbia, the Chicago White Sox designated infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez for assignment on Friday. If Gonzalez clears waivers, he could be outrighted to the minors and remain in the White Sox organization. The 27-year-old utility man played in a career-high 44 games in Chicago last season and slashed just .194/.208/.376 with a career-high three home runs, 14 RBI, seven stolen bases and 11 runs scored in 97 plate appearances. Gonzalez had surgery in July to fix a torn labrum in his right shoulder, and it remains to be seen if he'll even be ready for Opening Day in 2024. In his three big-league seasons with the White Sox, he's gone 51-for-230 (.222) with five home runs, 27 RBI and seven steals in 86 games played.
