Gio Gonzalez helps pitch White Sox to 11-5 rout of Royals

Gio Gonzalez made his first start for the Chicago White Sox more than 16 years after drafting him, and the left-hander responded by holding Kansas City scoreless into the fourth in...

Delivers 3.2 scoreless frames Gonzalez allowed five hits and three walks over 3.2 scoreless innings Saturday against the Royals. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor qualify for the decision.

Impact The veteran southpaw wasn't especially sharp as he needed 77 pitches to record 11 outs, but he generated 10 swinging strikes and was able to keep Kansas City off the board. Gonzalez should continue to fill the rotation spot of Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) and lines up to pitch against the Brewers on Thursday.

Getting 10 days of treatment The White Sox are hoping 10 days of treatment will allow Lopez (shoulder inflammation) to recover, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact An MRI on his right shoulder revealed inflammation, and sometimes treatment and rest can lead to recovery, but often such a diagnosis precedes an extended absence. In the meantime, Gio Gonzalez has stepped into Chicago's rotation.

Returns to rotation Gonzalez will fill Reynaldo Lopez's (shoulder) spot in the rotation going forward, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's not yet clear how many turns Gonzalez will make in the rotation, as the team has yet to provide a timeline after an MRI revealed shoulder inflammation for Lopez on Monday. Lopez's spot is due to come up Saturday in Kansas City, though the White Sox have an off day Thursday and could presumably move things around.

Impact Gonzalez had been ticketed for the starting rotation back in spring training, but the delayed start to the season bought enough time for Carlos Rodon to rehab from Tommy John elbow surgery. That meant Gonzalez was to be a bulk-inning reliever; however, Lopez's injury opens a spot that could be filled by Gonzalez.

Headed to bullpen Gonzalez will pitch out of the bullpen to start the season, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Carlos Rodon (elbow) will occupy the team's final spot in the rotation while Gonzalez will provide "length and insurance" out of the bullpen. The southpaw is coming off a 2019 season during which he compiled a 3.50 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 87.1 innings.

JULY 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Penciled in for fifth game Rodon (elbow) is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Indians, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodon, who underwent Tommy John surgery 14 months ago, will be ready to take his first turn through the rotation. His presence in the rotation will push Gio Gonzalez to the bullpen. Across seven starts before getting injured last season, Rodon posted a 5.19 ERA and 46:17 K:BB in 34.2 innings.

Throws three innings Gonzalez hurled three innings in an intrasquad game Sunday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez, who didn't throw an inning during spring training, has thrown five combined innings in a simulated and intrasquad game. "I promise you it would have been difficult to do that in spring training earlier this year," Gonzalez said. "Now we're up to date and we're kind of doing what we can. These three innings were huge for me. I think it was a step in the right direction." Gonzalez had a serviceable season for the Brewers in 2019, logging a 3.50 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 87.1 innings and 17 starts. He'll open the season as Chicago's No. 5 starter but is susceptible to be replaced by the returning Carlos Rodon (elbow).

Healthy but behind Gonzalez is behind the rest of the White Sox's pitchers in his readiness for the upcoming season, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gonzalez battled shoulder discomfort over the offseason and into spring training, though he's considered fully healthy. He's expected to throw two innings of live batting practice Tuesday, but with Opening Day less than three weeks away, it's possible his workload will be limited for his first start or two this season.
