2023 Fantasy Outlook
When Gonzalez is in the batter's box, he's interested in one thing: swinging the bat. His walk rates were routinely in the 3% range in the minors and his debut was no different as he walked at a 3.9% clip. That lack of patience is something opposing pitchers will be looking to exploit in the years to come. Gonzalez likes to go fishing but enjoyed quite a bit of success as a rookie, in particular after his return from an intercostal injury in August (.301/.333/.477, nine homers in his final 59 regular-season games). He's not a particularly good defender but does have a great arm, and Cleveland will need his bat in the lineup behind Jose Ramirez. Gonzalez puts the ball in play enough (19.6 K% as a rookie) despite the chase rate to think he should be able to hold his own as the league adjusts to him, but there may be an adjustment period in 2023.

Sent to Triple-A
Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez hit .296/.327/.461 with 11 homers in .382 trips to the plate last season, making him a somewhat interesting sleeper over the winter. His follow-up act has been a big disappointment thus far, as he'll lose his roster spot after hitting .192/.213/.288 in 25 games. Tyler Freeman was recalled to take Gonzalez's place on the bench.
