Gio González Fantasy Stats

Left-handed starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez has announced his retirement from baseball at the age of 35. Gonzalez was with the Miami Marlins on a minor league contract, but he has decided to call it quits after 13 big league seasons and 131 career wins. He made only one official appearance with the Marlins this spring, allowing seven runs while getting just one out. The lefty hangs up his cleats with a 3.70 career ERA in 13 seasons with the A's, Nationals, Brewers and White Sox. He had hoped to catch on with his hometown Marlins this season, but he made the decision to sail off into the sunset instead. He could surface as a pitching coach somewhere soon.

Free-agent starting pitcherGio Gonzalez has just signed a minor league deal with the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Gonzalez, who had fielded offers from other organizations, was hoping to land an offer with his hometown team and has. Gonzalez compiled a 4.83 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 34 strikeouts across 31 2/3 innings pitched in 2020. While Gonzalez is certainly in the twilight of his career, he may be able to provide some matchup-based value in 2021 and benefit from pitching in Marlins Park.

The Chicago White Sox declined 2021 options on designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion ($12 million) and left-hander Gio Gonzalez ($7 million) on Friday, making them both free agents. Encarnacion's deal didn't include a buyout, while Gonzalez will receive $500,000. Chicago also exercised their $3.5 million option on utilityman Leury Garcia on Friday. Encarnacion, 37, hit just .157 with 10 home runs during the 60-game season, and his .377 slugging percentage was the lowest of his 16-year career. Even with a potential universal DH in play again in 2021, the veteran could struggle to find work. Gonzalez, 35, had a 4.83 ERA in 12 outings (four starts), striking out 9.7 hitters per nine innings, his best rate since 2009.

Chicago White Sox starter Gio Gonzalez (groin) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Tuesday afternoon. Zack Burdi was optioned as a corresponding move. Gonzalez has not pitched since August 22, but the 34-year-old may start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. He owns a 5.11 ERA and 1.86 WHIP through 24 2/3 innings this season, but projects to have some value as a streaming option against a dismal Pirates lineup if he takes the mound.

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitcher Gio Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Sundays contest against the Royals due to a strained right groin. Taking his place on the active roster and among the starting rotation is righty Dane Dunning, who will be making his second career start Sunday. Gonzalez has made six appearances with the White Sox this season, posting a 5.11 ERA but having been hit particularly hard at home where he has yielded 12 earned runs in 12 frames. Whether Dunning has a spot on the starting staff moving forward remains to be seen but Gonzalez will be out of the mix for at least the next seven days due to the injury.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez put together his strongest start of the season on Monday versus the Detroit Tigers. Over 4 2/3 innings, Gonzalez allowed six hits, two runs, two walks and struck out 10 batters. It was easily the veterans strongest start of the season, but he still owns a 6.00 ERA and should remain unowned. The lefty will look to keep it going in his next start versus the Cubs on Saturday.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez went 4 2/3 innings and allowed six hits, two runs and one walk. He also recorded two strikeouts on the evening versus the Detroit Tigers. With Michael Kopech opting out of the season and Carlos Rodon (shoulder) and Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) sidelined, the Sox are counting on Gonzalez to remain in the rotation. Even with Tuesdays solid outing, Gonzalez owns an ugly 6.61 ERA and should be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitcher Gio Gonzalez faces his former team, the Brewers, on Thursday in a tough matchup for those banking on the southpaws performance. Gonzalez excelled to the tune of a 3.20 ERA across 24 appearances for Milwaukee over the past two seasons, but in addition to facing a team that has a strong level of familiarity, he toes the rubber at one of the leagues premier hitters parks thus far in 2020. Eighth in adjusted run rate and sixth in home runs, Guaranteed Rate Field doesnt portend to be kind to Gonzalez, who has had extreme difficult recording outs against right-handed hitters (.421/.522/.684) in the early part of the year. With power right-handed-hitting bats such as Keston Hiura and Avisail Garcia leading the heart of the Brewers order, owners may want to shy away from Gonzalez for the time being.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez (shoulder) said that he has done a lot of physical therapy during the quarantine and feels as if hes around 95%. Gonzalez signed a one-year deal this offseason, but with Michael Kopech (elbow) and Carlos Rodon (elbow) returning from Tommy John surgery, its unclear what his role with the club would be. Gonzalez can be avoided by fantasy owners for now. Gonzalez acknowledged this himself and said that he would like to throw at least one pitch in a White Sox uniform.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Thursday, his first of the spring. Gonzalez is behind the other pitchers in camp, so it's unknown if he'll have enough time to be ready for the start of the regular season. The 34-year-old left-hander had a 3.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 78 strikeouts in 87 1/3 innings over 17 starts and two relief outings for the Brewers last season. He's as unpredictable as they come on a start-to-start basis and could have more trouble staying consistent in the American League. He'll probably be ignored in shallow mixed leagues and will only be worth a late-round flier in deep mixed formats. Keep an eye on his progress heading into March.
