Lands on injured list Gonzalez was placed on the injured list Tuesday for undisclosed reasons.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts said earlier in the day that the Dodgers could put some players on the injured list while they deal with side effects from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, and that may be the reason behind the move. Gonzalez could be activated as soon as he feels better if he is indeed on the COVID-19 injured list, though the team didn't specify the reason for his absence.

Records crucial save Gonzalez recorded the save in Saturday's win over the Padres, walking one and recording the final two outs of the game.
Impact The 25-year-old came in shaky with a wild pitch to advance a runner and proceeded to walk Jurickson Profar, but got himself together as he retired the following two batters. Gonzalez recorded his first save of the season, partially due to a limited bullpen given last night's extra inning affair.

Yet to allow a run this spring Gonzalez has pitched in five Cactus League contests, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings.
Impact Gonzalez broke through with a 1.33 ERA and 0.74 WHIP across 20.1 innings during his 2020 rookie campaign, and his fabulous numbers were largely backed up by advanced metrics. He is rolling again this spring and figures to be the Dodgers' top left-handed bullpen option. Gonzalez will be even more important at the start of the campaign if Brusdar Graterol and Joe Kelly (soreness) aren't ready by Opening Day.

Tosses scoreless inning Gonzalez pitched a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and striking out one as the opener in Sunday's win over the Angels.
Impact Gonzalez got the opener job done with his solid first inning. HE allowed Shohei Ohtani to reach on a single in the second before Dustin May took over on the mound. Gonzalez ends the regular season with a strong 1.33 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 23:2 K:BB across 20.1 innings this season. He went 3-0 with two holds and could be a strong option out of the bullpen during the Dodgers' playoff run.

Opening in regular-season finale Gonzalez will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Angels, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Impact Though he'll be making his first big-league "start," Gonzalez shouldn't be counted on to handle much more than two innings or 32 pitches, the longest he's worked in any of his prior 14 relief appearances this season. Dustin May is expected to serve as the Dodgers' bulk reliever and is the likeliest pitcher to factor into any decision.

Credited with win Sunday Gonzalez (3-0) allowed a hit and struck out a pair over two innings to earn the win Sunday versus the Astros.
Impact Gonzalez was one of eight pitchers the Dodgers used in the contest and the only one to work multiple innings. His performance was worthy of the win in a game in which the Dodgers never trailed. Gonzalez has a 1.13 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 10 outings spanning 16 innings, mainly in the middle innings.
