Takes no-decision in solid start Gonzalez gave up one run on four hits and three walk during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Giants. He had one strikeout and didn't factor in the decision.
Impact It wasn't an electric performance by any means, but the right-hander exited in line for the victory before the bullpen coughed up a three-run homer during the sixth innings. Gonzalez is in the rotation after working out of the bullpen for the first week of the season, and he lines up for another start next weekend against the Mets.

Moving into rotation Gonzalez is scheduled to start Saturday's game in San Francisco, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gonzalez has been working out of the bullpen for the first week of the season while the Rockies' schedule has allowed them to get by with a four-man rotation, but he'll transition into a starting role with Saturday's game marking Colorado's fifth in as many days. Over his 22 outings (16 starts) with the Rockies across parts of the last three seasons, Gonzalez has posted a 5.65 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 5.1 K-BB% in 87.2 innings.

Sent down by Colorado Gonzalez was optioned to the Rockies' alternate training site Friday.
Impact Gonzalez made his final start of the regular season Thursday, and he'll be removed from the active roster to add another reliever for the final series of the regular season. Jose Mujica was recalled by the Rockies in a corresponding move.

Allows three runs in no-decision Gonzalez allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks across 5.1 innings in the 5-4 win over the Giants on Thursday. He fanned four and did not factor in the decision.
Impact All things considered, the right-hander was probably fortunate to allow just three runs while scattering 11 base runners. The Giants scored a pair of runs in the first and added one more in the second, but Gonzalez was able to keep San Francisco scoreless in his last 3.1 innings. The 28-year-old will finish the season with a record of 0-2 and a 6.86 ERA.

Takes loss Saturday Gonzalez (0-2) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over five innings while striking out two.
Impact Gonzalez did reasonably well against a potent Dodgers offense but was outshined by future Hall-of-Famer Clayton Kershaw to end up with the loss. The right-hander may have fared better if not for Dodgers utilityman Chris Taylor, who hit a triple and a a home run to account for all three runs against Gonzalez. It remains to be seen whether Gonzalez will stick in the rotation moving forward; if he does, his next start should come at San Francisco on Thursday.

Staying in rotation Rockies manager Bud Black confirmed that Gonzalez would start Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact After failing to escape the first inning while giving up four runs in his last start Sept. 8, Gonzalez looked poise to move into a bullpen role. However, with Jon Gray (shoulder) having since been shut down for the season, the Rockies will give Gonzalez the opportunity to stick in the rotation for at least one more turn. The right-hander, who owns an 8.68 ERA and 1.82 WHIP over four outings this season, makes for an unappealing fantasy option against a powerful Los Angeles lineup.

Doesn't make it out of first frame Gonzalez (0-1) gave up four earned runs on zero hits, three walks and one hit-by-pitch while recording just one out via strikeout Tuesday against the Padres. He took the loss.
Impact All four of the baserunners he allowed came across to score after he was quickly pulled. He clearly didn't have his command in this one and it's unclear if he will stick in the rotation going forward.

Slides back into rotation Gonzalez is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Padres in San Diego.
Impact After appearing out of the bullpen in his last two outings, Gonzalez will pick up his second start of the season Tuesday as he joins the Colorado rotation as a replacement for Jon Gray (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend. Gonzalez's most recent appearance came back on Sept. 2, when he tossed 46 pitches in long relief of Kyle Freeland. Look for Gonzalez to handle between 60-to-75 pitches Tuesday upon rejoining the rotation.

Set to piggyback Castellani The Rockies plan to use a tandem of Gonzalez and Ryan Castellani to cover the majority of the innings during Sunday's road game against the Dodgers, Nick Groke of The Athletic repo...
Impact Unless either or both pitchers are economical with their pitch counts, don't expect Gonzalez or Castellani to work more than three innings since they'll be returning to the mound on only three days' rest. After starter Kyle Freeland lasted just two innings in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Giants, both Castellani (26 pitches) and Gonzalez (46 pitches) worked two frames apiece out of the bullpen. Gonzalez opened the season in the Colorado rotation, but he experienced biceps tendinitis in his first start and subsequently landed on the injured list. With Castellani taking over the fifth spot in the rotation, Gonzalez has pitched in long relief in both of his first two outings back from the IL, giving up three runs (two earned) over six frames.

Lands on injured list Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day injured list with right biceps tendinitis Friday.
Impact The right-hander was slated to make his second start of the season Saturday, but he experienced a biceps issue during a bullpen session that will keep him off the mound. Right-hander Ryan Castellani was recalled in a corresponding move and will start in Gonzalez's place Saturday. Gonzalez wasn't expected to start next week since the Rockies have an off day, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return to the rotation.

Impact Gonzalez tossed two scoreless frames to start the contest before yielding home runs to Chadwick Tromp and Mike Yastrzemski in the third inning. The 28-year-old right-hander has a loose grip on the Rockies' fifth starter job and his biggest competition, Jeff Hoffman, threw 1.2 scoreless innings in relief Monday. Gonzalez should get another turn in the rotation this weekend against Seattle, but he's likely working with a short leash.
