Chicago White Sox second baseman Romy Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with his second home run in as many days, an RBI, run scored and a strikeout in the 6-4 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Memorial Day on Monday evening. Gonzalez didn't record a single hit in his first 58 trips to the plate this year, but he's now cleared the fences for his first two home runs in the last two days. The 26-year-old is now hitting .206 (13-for-63) with two doubles, two triples, two homers, 10 RBI, two steals and six runs scored in 31 games played in his third year in the majors. Gonzalez has earned more playing time at the keystone of late, but he's expected to head right back to the bench once Elvis Andrus (oblique) returns from the injured list sometime this weekend.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (back) is fine after being involved in a collision in Wednesday's win over the visiting Texas Rangers at Fenway Park, according to manager Alex Cora, but he was pulled after his back stiffened up on him. Gonzalez was down on the ground for several minutes after he tripped and collided with Rangers utility man Josh Smith at first base. Before being replaced at first by Abraham Toro in the seventh inning, the 28-year-old went 0-for-3 at the plate to drop his season average to .308 and his OPS to .785. Gonzalez appeared to avoid a serious injury, but don't be surprised if he's held out of Thursday's series finale against Texas. The BoSox can ill-afford to lose another option at first base with Triston Casas (knee) expected to miss the rest of the season. Gonzalez is off to a strong start at the plate with a .308 average, but he lacks power upside, making him mostly an option in AL-only fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez will take a seat on Tuesday against the visiting Texas Rangers at Fenway Park. Abraham Toro is getting the start at first base and will hit seventh against Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. It appears to just be a normal breather for Gonzalez, who has become Boston's primary option at first base in the wake of Triston Casas' serious knee injury. The 28-year-old doesn't have any home runs on the season yet, but he's swung the bat well otherwise by going 16-for-49 (.327) in limited at-bats with six RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored. The former 18th-round pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2018 out of the University of Miami should at least be rostered in AL-only leagues. Toro will be making his first start of 2025 and should be avoided for DFS lineups. The Canadian switch-hitter has gone hitless in five career at-bats against Eovaldi.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Per Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, Boston Red Sox second baseman Romy Gonzalez (oblique) took swings on Thursday and felt "fine" afterward. The 28-year-old left Monday's split-squad game against the Atlanta Braves with a tight oblique, but it's excellent news that he could swing a bat just a few days later. According to Gonzalez, he expects to play again in a few days. The former eighteenth-round pick is unlikely to be selected in fantasy drafts over the next week, though his underlying 2024 metrics point to some sleeper appeal. Gonzalez's average exit velocity of 92.3 MPH a season ago would rank in the top 20 batters if he qualified, and his hard-hit rate jumped nearly ten points from 2023 to a robust 51%. The utility bat was particularly effective against lefties last season, sporting a .302/.362/.517 triple-slash across 130 plate appearances.--Alex Ciulla

Boston Red Sox utility man Romy Gonzalez (oblique) is undergoing an MRI exam on Tuesday after leaving the team's spit-squad game against the Atlanta Braves on Monday with a tight oblique, according to manager Alex Cora. The level of concern is low, but the team is proceeding cautiously with only nine days before Opening Day next week. If the 28-year-old is healthy, MassLive's Chris Cotillo writes that Gonzalez is nearly certain to make the Opening Day roster because he is the top backup behind Triston Casas at first base. He projects as Boston's top super-utility option after playing seven different positions in 2024. But if Gonzalez opens the year on the injured list, Nick Sogard or Abraham Toro could break camp with the BoSox. When healthy, most of Gonzalez's playing time will come against lefties after he hit .266/.306/.417 with six home runs, 29 RBI and 11 steals in 199 at-bats a year ago.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
