Jun 29 2025Gonzales is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzales will get his first day off since June 12, opening up the keystone for Adam Frazier. While starting the prior 14 games, Gonzales batted .333 with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs.
Jun 24 2025Gonzales went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzales was the lone source of offense for Pittsburgh when he slugged a three-run home run in the sixth inning. After looking rusty in his return from the injured list in early June, he has at least one hit in five of his last six starts while tallying seven RBI with two home runs and four runs scored in that span.
Jun 23 2025Gonzales went 5-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Monday's 5-4 win versus Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Pittsburgh second baseman completed the first Pirates five-hit game performance since Oneil Cruz accomplished the feat Aug. 2, 2024. In the process, Gonzales roped his second and third two-baggers of the season as he raised his average from .271 to .320 across 19 total games. The 26-year-old has been locked into a starting role at second base since returning from an ankle injury June 3.
Jun 19 2025Gonzales went 4-for-10 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's doubleheader split with the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 1-for-5 with a double in Thursday's opener, Gonzales opened the scoring in the nightcap with a homer off Tyler Holton, his second of the season and first since Opening Day. Gonzales has gone 7-for-22 (.318) over his last five games, boosting his slash line to .259/.290/.448 with four RBI and seven runs scored through his first 62 plate appearances this year.
Jun 12 2025Gonzales is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 6-for-23 with an RBI and three runs scored over his last six games, Gonzales will step out of the lineup Thursday while Adam Frazier covers second base, opening up left field for Tommy Pham.
Jun 6 2025Gonzales went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Thursday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzalez has started two of three games since being activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. He hit sixth against a right-handed starter Tuesday but slotted into the cleanup spot with southpaw Framber Valdez on the mound Thursday. Despite the ugly effort, Gonzales should remain a key part of the Pittsburgh lineup moving forward.
Jun 4 2025Gonzales is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzales appears to be getting a pre-planned rest day after he made his return from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. Playing for the Pirates for the first time since Opening Day after completing his recovery from a non-displaced fractured left ankle, Gonzales went 1-for-3 at the dish in Pittsburgh's 3-0 loss in the series opener. Adam Frazier will get the nod at second base Wednesday, but Gonzales should see the bulk of the playing time at the position now that he's healthy again.
Jun 3 2025The Pirates activated Gonzales (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzales has been shelved since late March with a fractured ankle and more recently missed time on his rehab assignment with a sore hand as a result of a hit-by-pitch. However, he's ready to go now. Gonzales played both middle-infield positions on his rehab assignment but should settle in as the Pirates' primary second baseman.
May 31 2025Gonzales (ankle) went 3-for-5 on Friday in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Indianapolis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzales is returning from a fractured ankle, but he was also briefly sidelined with a hand injury after being hit by a pitch. He returned to action May 23 and has gone 7-for-26 across six games since.
May 21 2025Gonzales (ankle) hasn't appeared in any rehab games for Triple-A Indianapolis since Sunday after being hit by a pitch on his right hand, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzales was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, but the transaction seemingly wasn't reflective of any major concern about the hand issue being a major concern for the 25-year-old infielder, who has been on the shelf since March 28 due to a non-displaced left ankle fracture. X-rays on Gonzales' hand came back negative, and he's expected to be reassessed Thursday before the Pirates decide whether the soreness and swelling in his hand has subsided enough for him to return to game action at Indianapolis. Given the length of his absence due to the ankle injury, Gonzales will likely need at least a few more games in the minors to stack up at-bats and regaining his timing at the dish before the Pirates activate him. He's first eligible for reinstatement next Tuesday.
May 20 2025The Pirates transferred Gonzales (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The club needed to free a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Isaac Mattson. Gonzales is on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis and should be ready to go when first eligible for activation May 27.
May 16 2025Gonzalez (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzalez fractured his left ankle on Opening Day in late March, and it wasn't until early May that he was able to shed a walking boot and take part in baseball activities. He's taking the next step in his recovery by starting a rehab assignment, and how his ankle responds after this weekend's games will determine a timeline for his return to the majors.
May 7 2025Gonzales (ankle) ran on the field Monday and took batting practice Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gonzales was finally able to take part in baseball activities this week after ditching the walking boot on his left foot this past weekend. The infielder is working his way back from a fractured ankle, an injury he initially suffered during spring training before aggravating the injury Opening Day. The Pirates haven't etched out a timeline for Gonzales' return from the 10-day injured list, but he's expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis next Tuesday, per Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
