Nick Gonzales sits against Cardinals on Sunday

Nick Gonzales

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

Player Stats

Nick Gonzales is not in the Pirates’ lineup for Sunday’s battle against the Cardinals in St. Louis.

The 27-year-old infielder has been struggling a bit at the plate recently, hitting .243/.347/.313 with zero homers, eight RBI and a 14/9 K/BB ratio over 95 plate appearances in the month of August. Nick Yorke will start at third base for the Pirates on Sunday and will bat ninth against Cardinals’ southpaw Matthew Liberatore.

Nick Gonzales

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

Nick Gonzales went 2-for-5 and singled in the automatic runner in the top of the 12th as the Pirates outlasted the Padres 3-2 on Monday.

Gonzales’s hit resulted in only run in the three extra innings. There were three bunts, though, none of which worked out. The first two, from the Padres, were both popped up and the initial one resulted in a double play. The last, from the Pirates after Gonzales’s go-ahead hit, saw the lead runner get retired. Gonzales also walked and stole a base in the contest. He’s fourth in the majors with his .308 average.
Nick Gonzales

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

After missing two games following a beaning, Nick Gonzales is starting at second base on Monday.

Gonzales is in the cleanup spot today. He’s playing second because Brandon Lowe is getting a partial day off as a designated hitter. Nick Yorke is starting at third in Gonzales’s usual spot.
Nick Gonzales

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

Nick Gonzales (head) remains out of the Pirates’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Red Sox.

Gonzales was removed from Friday’s game after being hit on the helmet by a pitch. He passed through the concussion protocol but was held out of action on Saturday as a precautionary measure and will get an extra day on Sunday as well. He’s expected to be available off the bench if needed.
Nick Yorke

PIT 3rd Baseman #38

Pirates recalled INF/OF Nick Yorke from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Yorke spent time with the Pirates earlier in the season where he slashed a miserable .197/.279/.276 with one homer and six RBI across 86 plate appearances. He’ll add versatility to the Pirates’ bench and can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

Nick Gonzales is available off the bench Saturday against the Red Sox.

Gonzales cleared concussion protocol. He left Friday’s game after being hit on the helmet by a pitch.
Nick Gonzales

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

Nick Gonzales was pulled from Friday’s contest against the Red Sox after being hit in the helmet by a pitch.

Gonzales was hit on the left ear flap of his helmet by Jake Bennett in the fifth inning. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but is being treated for a facial contusion. He’s considered day-to-day.
Nick Gonzales

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

Nick Gonzales went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored, and a walk on Wednesday against the Marlins.

Gonzales has just not stopped hitting. Two more knocks here raised his batting average to .307 which is the fifth-highest mark in the entire league. That hasn’t come with much power – Gonzales only has six home runs and his .093 ISO is fifth-lowest in the league – but that high average makes him an asset in many leagues.
Nick Gonzales

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

Nick Gonzales went 0-for-3 and committed his 10th error Tuesday against the Marlins.

Gonzales is 6-for-38 with no walks this month. He’s still hitting .304, but it’s a rather empty .304, what with his six homers and 28 walks in 474 plate appearances, and it’s come with poor defense at third. He’s not coming out of the Pirates lineup, but he’s just not helping right now.
Brandon Lowe

PIT 2nd Baseman #5

Brandon Lowe is out of the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Cubs.

Lowe takes a seat with lefty Shota Imanaga taking the ball for Chicago in this one. It’ll be Nick Gonzales taking over at the keystone and hitting second in this one. The 32-year-old veteran has managed to stay mostly healthy and has put together an outstanding Pirates debut with 21 homers and 65 RBI across 427 plate appearances.
Jake Mangum

PIT Center Fielder #28

Jake Mangum was scratched from the lineup for the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Yankees with right foot discomfort.

Mangum went 2-for-5 with an RBI and his 19th stolen base of the season during the front-end of the twin bill. He’ll undergo further evaluation and there should be an update on his status prior to Friday’s series opener against the Cubs. The 30-year-old has emerged as Pittsburgh’s primary leadoff hitter since rookie Konnor Griffin hit the injured list earlier this month. It’ll be Billy Cook taking over in center field with Nick Gonzales moving up to the leadoff spot.

Marlins placed INF Xavier Edwards on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain.

Edwards left Sunday’s game after colliding into Jorbit Vivas’ shoulder when he was sliding into second. He’ll now be out for at least the next 10 days, but the Marlins have not given an exact timeline for his return as of Monday afternoon. They remain just 3.5 games out of the playoffs, so we don’t believe Edwards is at risk of being shut down just yet.

Curtis Mead (wrist) played catch before Monday’s game.

Mead no longer has a cast on his left wrist after fracturing it back on July 27th. It’s nice to see him playing catch without the cast on his glove hand, but we’ll need to see him hit before we have a better sense of exactly when he’s going to return to Boston’s lineup.

Red Sox recalled C/1B Mickey Gasper from Triple-A Worcester

Gasper was just sent back to Triple-A on Sunday with Roman Anthony off the injured list, but he’s eligible to return to Boston because Willson Contreras (hamstring) is now going on the IL. Gasper has hit a solid .278/.374/.466 with five homers and 19 RBI in 156 plate appearances with the Red Sox. He’s starting at first base and batting second on Monday against the Mariners.

Red Sox placed 1B Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

According to the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey, Contreras has been dealing with a hamstring issue for about a month. Between that and getting hit in the head against the Dodgers on August 1st, Contreras has slashed 217/.330/.386 since then. Perhaps a two-week reset will help the first baseman recapture some of his previous form before the end of the season.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the White Sox are acquiring outfielder Tommy Pham from the Phillies.

Since Pham is not on the 40-man roster, he is eligible to be traded despite the fact that the trade deadline has passed. Pham is expected to join the White Sox when rosters expand on Tuesday. He was 0-for-13 in his brief stint with the Mets earlier this season, and hit .245/.330/.370 in 120 plate appearances for the Pirates last year.

The left-hander has a 3.64 ERA in 29 2/3 innings with the White Sox this season and has really struggled in his last two outings, allowing five runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Perhaps he had other, more important things on his mind. He’ll come back to a middle relief role for the White Sox.
