Erik Gonzalez Moved To 10-Day Injured List
4 years agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates placed infielder Erik Gonzalez (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right oblique strain and recalled infielder Wilmer Difo from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. The Bucs also transferred right-hander Trevor Cahill (calf) to the 60-day injured list. Gonzalez suffered the oblique injury on Thursday night. He was hitting just .232 with two homers and 21 RBI, but he could've seen more time at first base with Colin Moran recently going on the injured list. Now Phillip Evans should see most of that playing time at the cold corner, giving him short-term appeal in NL-only leagues. Difo has hit .244/.287/.366 with a homer and six RBI in 87 plate appearances in Pittsburgh this year, but he'll serve as infield depth for one of the worst teams in the big leagues.
