2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gonzalez visited the IL twice in the first half of the 2024 season, first for a wrist issue and then for a sore hamstring. When healthy, he served as the right-handed part of a platoon, appearing everywhere but catcher. He usually hits left-handers better than righties and did so again last season. For the first time, well over half of Gonzalez's plate appearances were versus left-handers, fueling a 97 wRC+, by far a career high. Gonzalez hits the ball hard, but he's an extreme groundball hitter (career 54.4 percent rate) with a high strikeout rate (26.9 percent last season). A low fly-ball rate caps power while the punch-outs hurt his batting average. He sports 90th percentile sprint speed, helping him swipe 18 bases in 21 tries over the past two seasons. Gonzalez' versatile glove work will keep him employed. Fantasy-wise, he's best-suited for daily leagues when he's facing a southpaw. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting due to stiff back
Gonzalez (back) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez has been serving as Boston's primary option at first base since Triston Casas suffered a ruptured patella tendon Friday, but the former was forced out of Wednesday's 6-4 win due to back stiffness and will need at least one game off to recover. Abraham Toro will step in at first base in Thursday's series finale.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Gonzalez has spent back-to-back seasons in the majors with the White Sox, but has made only 206 plate appearances including a .194/.208/.376 slash line in 2023. The 27-year-old's main value to the team seems to be in a utility role as he saw starts in right field, left field, shortstop and also filled in at third base and centerfield while seeing the bulk of his playing time at second base. Gonzalez will compete for the utility man role again in 2024, but his struggles at the plate combined with multiple additions in the infield could see him on the outside looking in for playing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stint on injured list likely
The Red Sox are expected to place either Gonzalez or Rafael Devers on the injured list to make room on the roster for Bobby Dalbec, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cotillo hears that Gonzalez, who is battling a left wrist sprain, is the more likely IL move of the two, but Devers is also a possibility due to a left shoulder issue. Gonzalez was just recalled earlier this week and suffered the injury Wednesday in his first start. If he does go on the IL, it's expected to be a relatively brief absence.
