Marco Gonzales Activated And Starting On Friday
5 months agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates activated left-hander Marco Gonzales (forearm) from the 60-day injured list on Friday and designated right-hander Brent Honeywell for assignment in a corresponding move to make room for Gonzales on the active roster. Gonzales will immediately return to the starting rotation and take the hill in an excellent matchup on the road against the Chicago White Sox. The 32-year-old southpaw has been out since April with a left-forearm strain and struggled in his only two minor-league rehab appearances with a 6.14 ERA in 7 1/3 innings, so although the matchup is a great one, he'll still be a pretty risky streaming option in deeper fantasy leagues in his first start back in the big leagues. Before his injury early on, Gonzales allowed only five earned runs on 15 hits (one homer) while walking five and striking out 11 in 17 innings in just three starts.
