CHI CHI GONZÁLEZ NEWS

Called up to start Gonzalez was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Impact Gonzalez started a game for the Twins earlier this month, and he will get a chance to make his second big-league appearance of the season Saturday. He tossed just 45 pitches in his first major-league game of the season, so there's no guarantee he goes particularly deep into Saturday's contest.

Starting for Twins on Saturday Gonzalez will start Saturday's game against the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez headed back to the minors after making a spot start for the Twins last week, but he'll make his second major-league appearance of the season as Saturday's starter. The right-hander threw 45 pitches during Friday's start against the Blue Jays and allowed three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out one in three innings.

Returned to minors Gonzalez was returned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Impact Gonzalez made a spot start against the Blue Jays on Friday and allowed three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out one in three innings. However, he'll head back to the minors after Gilberto Celestino was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list. Gonzalez will remain on the Twins' taxi squad during their road trip in Toronto before heading back to St. Paul.

Short outing Friday Gonzalez didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on four hits over three innings. He struck out one without walking a batter.

Impact While Minnesota's offense was busy launching five homers on the night, Gonzalez served up two of his own and exited after only 45 pitches (32 strikes). The right-hander had worked at least five innings in four straight starts for Triple-A St. Paul, so the early hook was purely merit-based. Gonzalez has a career 5.68 ERA in the majors, and there's no reason to think he'll keep a roster spot once any of Joe Ryan (COVID-19), Sonny Gray (pectoral) or Josh Winder (shoulder) are ready to return to action.

Promoted ahead of start Gonzalez's contract was purchased from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of his Friday start against the Blue Jays.

Impact The 30-year-old righty was once a top prospect in the Rangers system. He had a 3.44 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 13.9 K-BB% in 36.2 innings at Triple-A. This is expected to just be a spot start, but if Gonzalez impresses, he could be back up the next time the Twins need a fill-in starter.

Outrighted Wednesday Gonzalez was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Impact Gonzalez was designated for assignment Sunday. After passing through waivers unclaimed, Gonzalez lands in Triple-A, though his future with the Rockies organization is unclear. In 101.2 innings with the big-league club this season, Gonzalez posted a 6.46 ERA and 1.52 WHIP.

DFA'd Sunday The Rockies designated Gonzalez for assignment Sunday.

Reinstated by Rockies Gonzalez (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Gonzalez sustained a right oblique strain in early September but will rejoin the major-league roster for the final two games of the regular season. The right-hander has started in 18 of his 23 appearances this year, but it's not yet clear how he'll be used during the final series of the 2021 campaign.

Placed on 10-day IL Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain Wednesday.

Impact Gonzalez missed nearly a month on the COVID-19 injured list shortly after the All-Star break, and he posted an 11.00 ERA and 2.22 WHIP in nine innings across four starts since he returned. He took the loss Tuesday when he gave up five runs in 1.1 innings against the Giants, and he apparently developed an oblique injury during the appearance. The severity of the issue hasn't yet been revealed, and it's unclear whether the right-hander will have enough time to return in 2021. The Rockies reinstated Jon Gray (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, while Ryan Feltner will likely get at least one more look in the rotation.
