Dodgers News: Victor Gonzalez Released by Yankees, Now a Free Agent Seeking New Opportunity After being released by the Yankees, Victor Gonzalez seeks to revitalize his MLB career as a free agent.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Cut loose by Yanks The Yankees released Gonzalez on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander has been with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since being DFA'd by the Yankees in June, but he's now been let go during the closing stretch of the campaign. Gonzalez made 27 appearances for New York this year and had a 3.86 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 11:13 K:BB across 23.1 innings.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A The Yankees outrighted Gonzalez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Impact It's a bit of a surprise there wasn't interest in Gonzalez via trade or waivers given his career 3.22 ERA and 86:31 K:BB in 89.1 innings coming into 2024. As it is, he will remain in the Yankees organization and give them left-handed relief depth at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Dodgers open roster spots for Shohei Ohtani, Joe Kelly via Yankees trade

Recalled from OKC The Dodgers recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez will give the Dodgers additional bullpen depth to close out the season as Lance Lynn is away from the team on bereavement leave. Gonzalez holds a 4.13 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 32.2 innings in the majors this season.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to OKC The Dodgers optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Impact Gonzalez has pitched well over the last handful of weeks, but he'll get the boot Tuesday with swing-and-miss maestro Kyle Hurt arriving in Los Angeles. Gonzalez, 27, holds a 4.13 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB in 32.2 major-league innings this year.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Recalled from Triple-A The Dodgers recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday, but he will come back up to the majors to replace Yency Almonte (knee) on the active roster. The 27-year-old southpaw holds a 5.32 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 23.2 innings in the majors this season and will likely be limited to middle relief while in Los Angeles.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in minors The Dodgers optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact With the return of Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Gonzalez will be sent back to the minors to free up a roster spot. The 27-year-old lefty has been effective out of the bullpen for Oklahoma City with a 2.60 ERA through 17.1 frames, and he could return to Los Angeles if the Dodgers need a fresh arm down the line.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Dodgers recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Impact Gonzalez was sent down to Triple-A on July 3 and has since put up a 3.48 ERA and 1.55 WHIP through 10.1 innings with Oklahoma City. Despite Gonzalez's lack of production in the majors this season, he'll be called upon to replace Bryan Hudson, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Tripe-A Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gonzalez was knocked around for three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one over 1.1 innings Monday in Kansas City, and he'll now head to Triple-A to make room for a fresh arm in Gavin Stone. Gonzalez owns a 5.32 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with a 22:7 K:BB across 23.2 frames so far this season with the Dodgers.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to be opener again Sunday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Saturday that a left-hander will be the opener against the Phillies on Sunday, and it could be Gonzalez, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.co...

Impact Gonzalez was the opener for the Dodgers for Friday's game, and with Los Angeles going with a bullpen game for the series finale on Sunday, it seems likely that Gonzalez will be on the bump for the first inning or two for that contest. He won't qualify for a decision, so there's no reason to have him in a fantasy lineup Sunday.

Faces three batters as opener Gonzalez did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one walk over two-thirds of a scoreless inning in a 5-4 loss against the Phillies. He didn't record a strikeout or give u...

Impact It appears the Dodgers simply wanted the left-handed Gonzales to handle Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper the first time through the order, as he faced just three batters before being replaced by Michael Grove. Gonzales has been solid as a lefty specialist this season, posting a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 17 appearances (16.2 innings).

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Friday's game Gonzalez will serve as an opener for the Dogers on Friday in Philadelphia, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Michael Grove had been the projected starter but instead will now be in line for bulk relief innings. With Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper slated to hit for the Phils in the first inning, using the left-handed Gonzalez as an opener makes sense.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss Saturday Gonzalez (1-1) was tagged with the loss against St. Louis on Saturday, surrendering three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one batter over one-third of an inning.

Impact Gonzalez entered in the eighth inning of a tie game and allowed a double and an intentional walk before serving up a three-run homer to Nolan Gorman. The southpaw had been dominant coming into the contest, tossing 11.1 scoreless frames and posting a 12:3 K:BB over his first 10 appearances of the campaign. Given that context, it's unlikely that his rough outing against the Cardinals will impact manager Dave Roberts' trust in Gonzalez.

MAY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Dodgers Gonzalez was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact Gonzalez owns a 2.75 ERA in 55.2 career major-league innings, but he missed all of last season with elbow troubles and failed to win an Opening Day roster spot this year. After striking out seven batters in 12 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City while allowing just one run, he'll get the chance to prove himself at the highest level again. Jake Reed was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Optioned to minors Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gonzalez is a bit of a surprise demotion to Triple-A, but his poor spring training (10.38 ERA, 1.85 WHIP) will see him open the year in Oklahoma City where he'll try and work things out. With Gonzalez now in the minors, Ardaya speculates that Andre Jackson now has a path to be the multi-inning relief option for the Dodgers to begin 2023.
