Relegated to Triple-A The Twins optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Impact With Austin Martin (hamstring) returning from the injured list Thursday, Gonzalez will end up as the odd man out of a spot on the Twins' 28-man roster. The 22-year-old went 2-for-8 with two walks while appearing in seven games for the Twins, and he'll likely play out the rest of the season at St. Paul, barring an injury to another one of Minnesota's outfielders.

Promoted to Minnesota The Twins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Impact Gonzalez will make his second stint with the big-league club this season after appearing in one game against Boston in late May. With St. Paul, the 22-year-old has a slash-line of .254/.318/.423 with 15 homers and 51 RBI over 444 plate appearances this season. The Twins sent Byron Buxton (hip) to the injured list, creating room for Gonzalez to join the active roster.

Optioned to Triple-A The Twins optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gonzalez was with the big club for its weekend series in Boston while Tristan Gray was on paternity leave. The rookie made one start and picked up his first major-league hit during his brief time in the majors, but with Gray back in the fold, Gonzalez will return to St. Paul.

Recalled to big leagues The Twins recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Impact Gonzalez was added to the 40-man roster over the offseason and is receiving his first big-league promotion. His stint in the majors could be brief, however, as there's a good chance he'll be sent back down in a few days when Tristan Gray returns from paternity leave. Gonzalez has slashed only .216/.294/.392 with eight home runs in 44 games this season with St. Paul.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minor-league camp The Twins optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

Impact Gonzalez was one of nine players sent out of big-league camp in the Twins' latest round of roster cuts. Minnesota added the 22-year-old outfielder to the 40-man roster this offseason after he slashed .329/.395/.513 with 15 home runs and eight steals across stops with High-A Cedar Rapids, Double-A Wichita and St. Paul. Gonzalez is likely on track to make his MLB debut at some point in 2026, and his bat will be the key to him gaining a long-term foothold in the Minnesota lineup. He's a below-average defender who was moved off center field early in his minor-league career and is limited to a corner spot or designated hitter.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Added to 40-man roster The Twins selected Gonzalez's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Impact Gonzalez worked his way up from High-A to Triple-A by the end of the 2025 season, during which he slashed .329/.395/.513 with 15 homers, 66 RBI, 75 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 549 total plate appearances. The 21-year-old outfielder's breakout campaign will grant him protection from the Rule 5 Draft in the form of a 40-man roster spot, and he may be able to win a place on the Twins' Opening Day roster if he continues to hit well in spring training.

Twins' Gabriel Gonzalez Rebounds With Breakout Season Gabriel Gonzalez bounced back with a dominant season across three levels in the Twins' system, batting .329 with 15 homers and a .908 OPS.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • BASEBALLAMERICA.COM

Promoted to Triple-A Gonzalez was promoted to Triple-A St. Paul, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Gonzalez began the season at High-A and was promoted after hitting .319 with five home runs and a .907 OPS in 34 games for Cedar Rapids. He then hit .344/./429/.509 with four home runs in 55 games for Double-A Wichita. After missing extended time with a back injury last season, he's re-established himself as one of the better hitting prospects in the Twins organization.

AUGUST 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted to Double-A Gonzalez is hitting .333 (6-for-18) with a .762 OPS in five games for Double-A Wichita since his promotion from High-A Cedar Rapids.

Impact Gonzalez was promoted after hitting .319 with five home runs and a .907 OPS in 34 games. He took a step backward last season by hitting just .255 with a .706 OPS at High-A Cedar Rapids. However, he played just 76 games as he missed about two months with a back injury. It looks like a return to full health has him back on track as one of the better hitting prospects in the Twins organization.

MAY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action for High-A club High-A Cedar Rapids reinstated Gonzalez (back) from its 7-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Gonzalez made starts in each of Cedar Rapids' first three games following his return from the IL, going 3-for-12 with a triple and two RBI. The 20-year-old outfielder -- who missed about two months with the back injury -- is slashing .263/.302/.450 over 86 plate appearances on the season for Cedar Rapids.

RBI machine at High-A Gonzalez is 5-for-13 with one home run, one double and six RBI in three games since getting promoted to High-A Everett.

Impact A career .324 hitter in the minors, Gonzalez slashed .348/.403/.530 with nine home runs and eight steals in 73 games for Single-A Modesto, where he also logged 32 games in 2022. Even with all that experience in full-season ball, Gonzalez doesn't turn 20 until January and is looking like one of the best pure hitters in the minors.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tearing cover off ball at Modesto Gonzales owns a .342/.397/.500 slash line with 24 extra-base hits and 37 RBI across 252 plate appearances with Single-A Modesto.

Impact Gonzales' robust offensive resume also includes seven steals, 17 walks and 41 runs, seemingly leaving him with nothing left to prove at the Single-A level after also putting in a solid 32-game stint at Modesto last season. The precocious 19-year-old is also carrying an impressively modest 15.9 percent strikeout rate, and he figures to ascend to High-A Everett before too much longer.
