The Twins optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.
With Austin Martin (hamstring) returning from the injured list Thursday, Gonzalez will end up as the odd man out of a spot on the Twins' 28-man roster. The 22-year-old went 2-for-8 with two walks while appearing in seven games for the Twins, and he'll likely play out the rest of the season at St. Paul, barring an injury to another one of Minnesota's outfielders.

The Twins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
Gonzalez will get his second stint with the big-league club in 2026 after appearing in one game against Boston in late May. With St. Paul, the 22-year-old has a slash line of .254/.318/.423 with 15 homers and 51 RBI over 444 plate appearances this season. The Twins sent Byron Buxton (hip) to the injured list in a corresponding move.

The Twins optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Gonzalez was with the big club for its weekend series in Boston while Tristan Gray was on paternity leave. The rookie made one start and picked up his first major-league hit during his brief time in the majors, but with Gray back in the fold, Gonzalez will return to St. Paul.

The Twins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.
Gonzalez was added to the 40-man roster over the offseason and is receiving his first big-league promotion. His stint in the majors could be brief, however, as there's a good chance he'll be sent back down in a few days when Tristan Gray returns from paternity leave. Gonzalez has slashed only .216/.294/.392 with eight home runs in 44 games this season with St. Paul.

The Twins optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.
Gonzalez was one of nine players sent out of big-league camp in the Twins' latest round of roster cuts. Minnesota added the 22-year-old outfielder to the 40-man roster this offseason after he slashed .329/.395/.513 with 15 home runs and eight steals across stops with High-A Cedar Rapids, Double-A Wichita and St. Paul. Gonzalez is likely on track to make his MLB debut at some point in 2026, and his bat will be the key to him gaining a long-term foothold in the Minnesota lineup. He's a below-average defender who was moved off center field early in his minor-league career and is limited to a corner spot or designated hitter.

The Twins selected Gonzalez's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.
Gonzalez worked his way up from High-A to Triple-A by the end of the 2025 season, slashing .329/.395/.513 with 15 homers, 66 RBI, 75 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 549 total plate appearances. The 21-year-old outfielder's breakout campaign will grant him protection from the Rule 5 Draft in the form of a 40-man roster spot, and he may be able to win a place on the Twins' Opening Day roster if he continues to hit well in spring training.
