Marwin Gonzalez on the paternity list on Monday and recalled outfielder
Tim Locastro from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Gonzalez will be away from the team for a few days. The 33-year-old veteran switch-hitter has been a super-utility guy for the Yankees in 2022 but is hitting just .200/.271/.323 with three homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and two stolen bases in 130 at-bats. This will be Locastro's fifth stint in New York this year. In 26 games, he has seven stolen bases and 10 runs scored. The 30-year-old is also slashing a meager .176/.243/.353 with two long balls and four RBI in 34 at-bats.

Marwin Gonzalez agreed to a minor league deal with the New York Yankees on Sunday, according to a source. Gonzalez will report to big-league camp when the deal becomes official. The 33-year-old switch-hitter was with the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros last year, combining to hit just .199/.275/.304 with five home runs, 28 RBI and 30 runs scored in 307 plate appearances over 91 games. He's played for the Astros in eight of his 10 major league seasons and is a career .256 hitter with 101 homers and 397 RBI in 1,053 games. Gonzalez can play almost any position on the diamond and will bring that versatility to the Bronx as a super-utility player off the bench.

3 years agoHouston Astros infielder/outfielder
Marwin Gonzalez was added to the World Series roster after being left off both the ALDS and ALCS rosters. He started the year with the Boston Red Sox before they designated him for assignment on August 13. He then signed with Houston after spending seven seasons with the club from 2012-2018. He struggled at the plate this season, slashing .199/.275/.304 with five home runs across 91 games. He was better against left-handers, though, posting a much higher .713 OPS. Don't expect Gonzalez to see much playing time, but he should get some pinch-hitting opportunities while playing in Atlanta.
