Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) won’t be activated from the injured list for Saturday’s game against the Yankees.
All signs point to Gonzalez making his season debut by facing veteran lefty Carlos Rodón during Sunday’s series finale at Fenway Park. The 29-year-old missed the first three months of the year recovering from shoulder surgery. His presence should provide a significant lift for the Red Sox against left-handed starters.
