Swipes bag Tuesday Gonzales went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Cubs.

Impact Gonzales collected his fourth multi-hit effort over his last seven games since he returned from a groin injury. In that span, he's gone 11-for-32 (.344) with three doubles, two RBI and five runs scored. The infielder has a decent .268/.299/.393 slash line with five home runs, four steals, 41 RBI and 33 runs over 299 plate appearances this season. He's been the primary second baseman, when healthy, since his call-up in May.

Sitting out Wednesday Gonzales is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Cubs.

Hits in both games since return Gonzales went 1-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Cubs.

Impact Gonzales returned from the injured list Monday after being sidelined since July 28, and he has started at second base while hitting fourth and third in two games. In that pair of starts, he has gone 3-for-9 with no strikeouts, and he should be locked into a key role in the Pirates' lineup for the final month of the campaign.

Activated from injured list The Pirates activated Gonzales from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Gonzales missed a month of action with a left groin strain but is ready to roll after going 5-for-15 with one home run in four rehab contests with Triple-A Indianapolis. The 25-year-old will operate as the team's primary second baseman down the stretch. Gonzales has slashed .258/.293/.387 with five homers and three steals in 65 games for the Pirates in 2024.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Gonzales (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Impact Gonzales was placed on the 10-day IL on July 28 and has been deemed ready to appear in games. The 25-year-old will likely require multiple games with Indianapolis before being cleared to rejoin the active roster. Once activated, Gonzales will likely compete with Isiah Kiner-Falefa for work at second base.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for rehab games next week Gonzales (groin) will join Triple-A Indianapolis later this week before beginning a rehab assignment next week, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Gonzales landed on the 10-day injured list in late July with a left groin strain but is almost ready to test things out in game action. Since he's been out of commission for less than two weeks, the infielder shouldn't need too many rehab appearances before being activated. Gonzales isn't a given to regain his spot at the top of the Pirates' depth chart at second base after the club acquired Isiah Kiner-Falefa at the trade deadline.

Impact The 25-year-old is expected to return before the end of the season, but when exactly that might be remains to be seen. Gonzales suffered the groin injury during Saturday's matchup with the Diamondbacks and will now be sidelined for the foreseeable future. He got off to a hot start with a .280/.316/.439 slash line in his first 44 games of the season but posted a .533 OPS in July.

Drives in pair Gonzales went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Mets.

Impact Gonzales delivered a two-RBI single with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, accounting for Pittsburgh's only runs of the game. He's slowed since a very hot start to his stint in the majors this season, maintaining just a .227 average with eight RBI and nine runs scored in the last month. Nevertheless, he remains a key part of the Pirates' lineup and has not seen his playing time suffer.

Snaps out of slump Gonzales went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Reds.

Impact Gonzales was in a cold spell entering Tuesday's contest, as he had gone just 1-for-23 with eight strikeouts across his past seven games. He snapped out of that slump with his second three-hit performance of the season. Despite the recent downturn, Gonzales has enjoyed his most sustained success in the majors, maintaining a .282 average and .755 OPS across 161 plate appearances.
