Luis González Stats

The San Francisco Giants placed outfielder Luis Gonzalez (back) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a lower-back strain and recalled infielder Donovan Walton from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Gonzalez has missed the team's last two games, and he was put on the IL on Thursday after an MRI exam showed a back strain. The 26-year-old might not be back with the Giants until the start of the second half of the season. In his first year in San Francisco, he has swung the bat well, slashing .302/.361/.447 with an .808 OPS, three home runs, 24 RBI, 20 runs scored and seven RBI in 180 plate appearances over 49 games. Austin Slater, who is starting in center field on Thursday, should see more playing time in the near future with Gonzalez on the shelf.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Gonzalez (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday. He is dealing with lower back tightness, so he'll sit this game out against the Atlanta Braves. This issue is believed to be minor, so Gonzalez isn't expected to need a trip to the injured list. Evan Longoria will take his spot in the lineup for Wednesday's outing against right-hander Charlie Morton. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday for another update on Gonzalez.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases in a 7-5 win over the Pirates on Saturday.

The 26-year-old is slashing .300/.364/.650 with a homer, two RBI, five runs, and two stolen bases over 22 plate appearances during the streak. He continues to see everyday at-bats and should be added in all league formats while the former third-round selection wields a hot bat. Gonzalez is slashing .306/.367/.449 with three home runs, 23 RBI, 18 runs, and seven stolen bases over 46 games in 2022.
