Out · expected back around Feb 1

Latest news
Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said Tuesday that Gonzalez is still recovering from a hyperextended elbow injury suffered at Triple-A Worcester but is "very much in play" for the ALDS roster if Boston advances, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Gonzalez slashed just .185/.264/.308 in 19 games for the Red Sox this season and spent the final two months of the year at Worcester. However, the 30-year-old had a .978 OPS versus lefties in 2025, so he could be a useful reserve for the Red Sox in subsequent rounds if he can get healthy.

The Red Sox optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports
Gonzalez will head back to the minors to help make room on the active roster for the additions Boston made prior to the trade deadline. The 29-year-old utility man has taken a step back in the big leagues this year, slashing just .185/.264/.308 with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 73 plate appearances.

Gonzalez started at second base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.
Gonzalez got the start at second base in the first game since Boston lost Curtis Mead to a fractured left wrist. Mead was expected to be the primary starter at the keystone, but that role will now be filled by a combination of Gonzalez (against lefties) and Anthony Seigler (against righties).

Gonzalez entered Friday's game as a pinch hitter and had a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 6-4 win over Toronto.
Gonzalez, who had snapped an 0-for-23 stretch in his previous game Wednesday, delivered the go-ahead run in the eighth inning. Since a midseason return from shoulder surgery following a truncated rehab assignment, Gonzalez has been grinding. He entered Friday with a .189/.271/.321 slash line across 60 plate appearances.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Gonzalez had been included in the lineup in four of the Red Sox's last five games, but three of those starts came against left-handed pitching. The 29-year-old looks like he'll have to settle for more of a part-time role versus righties, especially while Masataka Yoshida (1.117 OPS in July) is swinging a hot bat.
