Romy Gonzalez Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox second baseman Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) could be activated on Sunday, according to manager Chad Tracy. The 29-year-old had targeted Saturday for his return, but that timeline will ultimately fall short, possibly by just one day if things go according to plan. After suffering a shoulder injury last season, it was determined that he would need surgery to address the issue following a setback this past winter. He has yet to play this season, and given the bevy of injuries the team has endured, the Red Sox could certainly use his bat as a boost. He has struggled to the tune of just two hits over 21 plate appearances during his rehab assignment, though he has limited the damage by striking out only six times. He is worth rostering in the deepest of leagues, with the potential to provide even more value if he can recapture last season's success.

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) said that he hopes to return in late May after undergoing surgery earlier this week, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Gonzalez noted that the surgery was a clean-up procedure, and so he doesn't expect to miss more than the minimum 60 days associated with his injured list placement. The veteran infielder specialized in hitting left-handed pitching last year, so his absence through the first two months will be felt, especially since the team no longer has Rob Refsnyder, a fellow slugger against left-handed pitching. Gonzalez primarily played first base in 2025, but his injury creates more of a general void on the right side of the infield now that Boston has Willson Contreras at first base and no clear answer at second base.

The Boston Red Sox announced on Thursday that infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) had a successful left-shoulder arthroscopic debridement on Thursday. The procedure was performed by Dr. Jeffrey R. Dugas in Alabama. The Red Sox also placed Gonzalez on the 60-day injured list on Thursday, which means he will miss at least the first two months of the 2026 season. The 29-year-old had yet to make an appearance in spring training due to shoulder inflammation. In his second year in Boston in 2025, Gonzalez only had 341 plate appearances, but he was effective, slashing .305/.343/.483 with an .826 OPS, career-high nine home runs, 53 RBI, and six stolen bases in 96 games played. Gonzalez's batted-ball metrics backed up the strong season. His 2026 fantasy value obviously takes a hit because of his shoulder injury, but when back to full health, Gonzalez figures to compete for a platoon role in Beantown, primarily as a lefty killer.

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) will be evaluated on Tuesday to determine if he'll need to undergo surgery. Gonzalez hasn't participated in any baseball activities this spring due to left shoulder inflammation. This is something that continues to hinder Gonzalez, which could require surgery as the only solution. Gonzalez was already a long shot for Opening Day, but now he's looking at being on the shelf much longer. Last season, Gonzalez slashed .305/.343/.483 with nine home runs and 53 RBI in 96 games with the Red Sox. If he misses significant time, Kristian Campbell and Andruw Monasterio are candidates to see more at-bats to start the season.

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) does not see himself being ready for Opening Day, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Gonzalez expressed that his ramp-up would be "too quick" if he tried to be ready for Opening Day. Last season, Gonzalez appeared in a career-high 96 games at the MLB level and looked rather comfortable, posting a .305/.345/.483 slash line with nine home runs and six stolen bases. Under the hood, Gonzalez generated a strong .344 xwOBA with an elite .276 xBA, a 12.6% barrel rate, and a 57.3% hard-hit rate. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he works his way back from shoulder inflammation. While he remains sidelined, Marcelo Mayer could carve out a larger role in the infield.

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) is still limited to just playing catch, according to manager Alex Cora, and is unable to do any other baseball activities while waiting for the PRP injection to work on his shoulder injury. The issue first cropped up towards the end of last season and has limited Gonzalez all offseason. It's starting to look unlikely that he'll be ready for Opening Day, but the 29-year-old will still likely fit into Boston's crowded infield mix at some point, He slashed .305/.343/.483 with an .826 OPS, nine home runs, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 96 regular-season games last year and had an impressive 99th-percentile hard-hit rate and 123 wRC+ in what a breakout campaign. He especially excelled against lefties and should at least get time in a platoon when he's healthy. Monitor his recovery and keep him as a late-round deep-league value addition, especially if you need some roster versatility.

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) is dealing with shoulder inflammation that popped up during the end of the regular season and got worse in early offseason workouts, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Gonzalez said he received a platelet-rich plasma injection 2 1/2 weeks ago. He's currently behind schedule, but the goal remains to be ready for Opening Day. The 29-year-old former 18th-round pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2018 out of the University of Miami slashed .305/.343/.483 with an .826 OPS, nine home runs, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 96 regular-season games in 2025 in his second year with Boston. Gonzalez had an impressive 99th-percentile hard-hit rate and 123 wRC+ in what was a breakout year, and he also dominated left-handed pitchers with a .331 average. Playing time will be the biggest issue for Gonzalez, who figures to open the season in a utility infield role if he's healthy.

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (knee) is returning to the lineup on Saturday after a two-game absence. Gonzalez, who's riding a 12-game hitting streak, will play first base and lead off against New York Yankees left-hander Max Fried. It's Gonzalez's first time in the lineup since he exited a win over the Athletics on Tuesday with soreness in his left knee. The Red Sox will happily welcome the right-handed hitter back for a matchup against a tough lefty, as he has teed off on southpaws this season. Gonzalez owns an eye-popping .347/.396/.636 line over 134 trips to the plate versus lefties, and seven of his nine home runs have come at their expense.

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the division-rival New York Yankees at Fenway Park. David Hamilton will make another start at the keystone and will hit seventh against Yankees right-hander Luis Gil. Gonzalez is dealing with a sore left knee and also missed the series finale on Wednesday against the Athletics. The 29-year-old had another off day on Thursday, but he still isn't ready. Consider him day-to-day and check back if he's available against the Yanks on Saturday. Hamilton has 20 stolen bases in 84 games this year and a total of 53 swipes the last two years in Boston, but he'll be a low-upside DFS sleeper at the bottom of Boston's batting order. Hamilton has also gone hitless in seven career at-bats versus Gil.

Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Athletics in Sacramento. David Hamilton is starting at second base and will hit seventh for the BoSox against A's right-hander Mason Barnett. Left-knee soreness caused the Red Sox to pull Gonzalez in the second inning of Tuesday's game, and he's now day-to-day after going 2-for-2 with a home run, double, and two RBI before leaving. Boston doesn't sound too concerned about Gonzalez's knee injury for now, so he may be back at the keystone on Friday against the division-rival New York Yankees. The 29-year-old has struggled to stay healthy in 2025, but he's been a solid bat for the Red Sox when he's been available, hitting a career-best .311 (84-for-270) with a career-high nine homers, 48 RBI, and five steals in 84 games.
