Returns to minors Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Impact Gonzalez was called up to the big club in late July but posted just a .232/.260/.337 slash line in 27 games. The 25-year-old will head back to Triple-A -- where he has an .808 OPS this season -- with Josh Naylor (oblique) returning from the injured list.

Out of lineup again Friday Gonzalez is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Rays.
Impact Gonzalez has now been out of the lineup three times in the Guardians' last four games, as the regular role he held for the last few weeks appears to be dissipating. He managed just a .595 OPS in August.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting again amid slump Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Impact Gonzalez will take a seat for the second time in the series while he's gone 5-for-42 with no walks and 18 strikeouts over his last 11 games dating back to Aug. 16. His ongoing slump appears to have cost him an everyday role in the corner outfield or at designated hitter, with waiver-wire pickup Ramon Laureano having seemingly supplanted him in the Guardians' regular lineup.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gets breather Monday Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Impact Gonzalez posted a meager .368 OPS over his last 10 games, so he will get a day off after starting three straight contests.

The outfielder has hit a modest .250 with six extra-base hits, six RBI and eight runs scored over 21 games since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. Overall, he's at a .221/.250/.331 slash line with two homers, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored across 46 contests, and he's yet to attempt a stolen base in the majors this year. Between designated hitter and the corner outfield spots, Gonzalez is maintaining steady playing time.

Ropes three doubles in win Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over Tampa Bay.
Impact Gonzalez doubled in three consecutive at-bats, doubling his previous season total in that department. Gonzalez had started every game in August prior to being relegated to the bench on Thursday and Friday. However, he's responded with five hits in 10 at-bats over the past two contests. Just as importantly, he appears to be locked into a spot in the heart of the Guardians' lineup.

Sitting out Thursday Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Blue Jays.
Impact Gonzalez had started each of the last eight games, with all but one of them coming from the cleanup spot. He'll get a breather for this one, though, as the Guardians go with Jose Ramirez in the designated hitter spot and Brayan Rocchio at third base.

Garners fifth straight start Gonzalez will start in right field and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Gonzalez appears to be one of the beneficiaries of Josh Naylor's (oblique) recent move to the 10-day injured list, as the 25-year-old will garner his fifth consecutive start, with two coming at designated hitter and three coming in right field. Since being called up from Triple-A Columbus on July 27, Gonzalez has gone 8-for-20 with a triple, three walks and three runs.
AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Knocks three hits Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Astros.
Impact Gonzalez has gone 5-for-13 with two walks and two runs scored over four games since his recall from Triple-A Columbus on July 27. He's gotten in the starting lineup in three of the seven games in that span, all in right field. That playing time has come at the expense of Myles Straw, as Will Brennan has moved to center field when Gonzalez plays. It's not a strict platoon, but it appears manager Terry Francona is trying to limit both Gonzalez and Straw against right-handed pitchers. Over 30 contests this season, Gonzalez has a .221/.256/.302 slash line with a home run, five RBI and seven runs scored.
