Red Sox 1B Romy Gonzalez leaves game after collision at first, running out grounder

Boston Red Sox first baseman Romy Gonzalez left the game after colliding with Texas Rangers first baseman Josh Smith while trying to beat out an infield hit on Wednesday

Exits after collision Gonzalez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers after a collision with Josh Smith, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Gonzalez was down on the ground for a few minutes immediately after running into Smith, but the former was able to walk it off. He then jogged out to play first base at the top of the seventh inning but was quickly called back into the dugout in favor of Abraham Toro. The fact that Gonzalez was willing to go back out on defense is a good sign that his removal was precautionary, but the Red Sox should offer some clarity after the game.

Alex Cora Saw This Growth From Red Sox First Base Option Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora trusts the growth he's seen from infielder Romy Gonzalez at first base over the last year.

Out of Tuesday's lineup Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old started the past two games at first base in the wake of Triston Casas' knee injury, but Abraham Toro will make his first start of the season Tuesday. Gonzalez has a .327/.382/.449 slash line with six RBI and three steals through 55 plate appearances this season, and he's likely to operate as Boston's primary first baseman as long as he continues to carry a hot bat.

Starts at first base again Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Gonzalez started at first base for both games since Triston Casas went down with a season-ending knee injury Friday. Gonzalez is relatively new to the position -- he played 18 games there last season and was part of platoon in 2025 -- and it's unclear that he'll be the permanent fill-in for Casas. He's been consistent all season, hitting safely in nine of 11 starts and enters Monday's day off with a .327/.382/.449 line, three steals, six RBI and 10 runs scored over 16 games.

Hits three singles Saturday Gonzalez went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.

Impact Gonzalez got the start at first base Saturday and belted three singles while batting in the sixth spot in the lineup. He's expected to see the bulk of starts at first base in the short term after Triston Casas ruptured his left patellar tendon in Friday's game, with Abraham Toro providing depth at the position. How Gonzalez plays over the coming days and weeks will play a factor in how the Red Sox address the position, either internally through the farm system or externally via trade, per Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Red Sox 1B Triston Casas out for rest of season after rupturing left knee tendon

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas has suffered a ruptured tendon in his left knee and is out for the remainder of the season

Fills in at first base Gonzalez entered for an injured Triston Casas (knee) and went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Minnesota.

Impact Casas sustained what Red Sox manager Alex Cora described as a "significant knee injury," per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. The Red Sox have limited organizational depth at first base, so it looks like Gonzalez, who was a platoon partner at the position with Casas, will be the immediate fill in. Gonzalez is batting .279/.340/.419 with six doubles, two steals, five RBI and nine runs scored over 43 at-bats.

Starts at first base Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Gonzalez replaced the lefty-hitting Triston Casas at first base against Toronto southpaw Easton Lucas. It was the second time this season the Red Sox have faced a left-handed starter, and Gonzalez started both games. Red Sox manager Alex Cora talked during spring training about Casas being the everyday starter -- against righties and lefties -- but it hasn't played out that way thus far in a small sampling. Gonzalez has hit in four consecutive outings (7-for-15, five runs) and has reached base safely in all five games played.

Impacts Sunday's doubleheader Gonzalez went a combined 4-for-7 with an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's doubleheader sweep over St. Louis.

Impact Gonzalez entered the matinee as a pinch hitter, singling in place of starting second baseman David Hamilton in the seventh inning, and finished out at the keystone. The utility infielder then had a big hit in Boston's two-run ninth inning against Cardinals closer Ryan Hensley, delivering a one-out double that plated the first run and put the tying run in scoring position. Boston eventually won the first game in the 10th inning. Gonzalez finished an impactful day by starting the nightcap at first base, contributing two more hits and two runs.

Makes first start Gonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-5 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Gonzalez made his first start of the season, filling in for Triston Casas against a lefty. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said during spring training that Casas would not be subject to a platoon, but he was on the bench with Boston facing its first lefty of the season. The decision to sit Casas may have more to do with his slow start. Including his pinch-hit appearance Monday, Casas is 1-for-17 with seven strikeouts.

Cleared for Opening Day Gonzalez (oblique) will be on the Red Sox' active roster for Opening Day, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez was held out of the Boston's final six Grapefruit League games as he dealt with right oblique soreness, but he's been working out in recent days and convinced the team he doesn't need a trip to the injured list. The 28-year-old will be part of the Red Sox' bench and will see some starts against southpaws.

Swings bat Gonzalez (oblique) took some swings Thursday and is expected to return to game action in a few days, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez underwent an MRI on his right oblique this week, but those results evidently came back negative and he's poised to return soon. The 28-year-old Gonzalez will operate in a reserve role for the Red Sox, getting the occasional start versus lefties.

MARCH 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoing MRI on oblique Gonzalez will undergo an MRI Tuesday after feeling tightness in his right oblique Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Gonzalez "feels like there's nothing there" but wanted to get tested as a precaution. Any injury to the oblique is cause for some concern, but at the moment this appears to be more of a day-to-day situation. More will be known about Gonzalez's condition after the MRI results are in. If healthy, Gonzalez will see some starts versus lefties this season for Boston.

Sitting Sunday Gonzalez is absent from Sunday's lineup against Tampa Bay, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Emmanuel Valdez will start at third base and bat ninth in the Red Sox's regular-season finale. Unless he comes in to pinch hit, Gonzalez will end his first season with the Red Sox slashing .266/.306/.417 with 11 stolen bases, six home runs and 29 RBI across 216 plate appearances.

Riding pine Monday Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact After Rafael Devers suffered a right shoulder injury Friday before landing on the injured list a day later, Gonzalez picked up each of the ensuing three starts at third base, going 3-for-10 with a home run, a stolen base and five RBI across those contests. Though he'll give way to Nick Sogard at the hot corner Monday, Gonzalez still looks to be the Red Sox's preferred option at the position entering the final week of the season.
