Impact Though he'll crack the lineup for the fourth time in five games, Gonzalez no longer has a permanent home at third base like he did for all of August while Josh Donaldson was sidelined with a calf injury. Gonzalez's versatility should still allow him to pick up a handful of starts per week, as he'll get the nod at the keystone in Monday's series finale while Luis Arraez receives a breather.

Gets time in outfield Gonzalez started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's exhibition loss to the Cubs.

Impact Gonzalez looked set to start at first base when the regular season began when Miguel Sano was out with COVID-19. With Sano back, Gonzalez may begin the season in right field with Byron Buxton working his way back from a foot injury and Max Kepler moving to center field. Either way, Gonzalez should keep his near everyday spot in the lineup again this season while rotating positions based on other player's off days and injuries.

Getting time at first base Gonzalez has been getting playing time at first base during summer camp with Miguel Sano sidelined with Covid-19, MLB.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez was limited in the early stages of spring training while working back from a minor right knee procedure he required in October. With the layoff, he's back to full speed. If Sano, who is asymptomatic, isn't able to return or be ready for the start of the 60-game regular season, Gonzalez could get regular duty at first base. Gonzalez will likely keep his near everyday spot in the lineup again this season but rotating positions based on other player's off days and injuries.
