Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The light-hitting utility infielder has never advanced past the Triple-A level and he struggled against big league competition this spring. He will likely spend the year at Columbus unless the Indians incur a serious rash of injuries to the infield.
