Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Minimum absence expected
Red Sox manager Alex Cora believes Gonzalez (back) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible May 18, MLB.com reports.
Gonzalez first suffered a back injury one week ago and officially landed on the IL this past weekend. It's unclear whether he will need to play any rehab games before being activated, but the infielder appears on track for activation Sunday. Once activated, Gonzalez should regain his standing as Boston's top option at first base.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Lands on injured list
Gonzalez (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Gonzalez began dealing with the back issue Wednesday and has sat two games since. The move is retroactive to May 8, though Gonzalez's timeline to return is unclear. Gonzalez's injury also makes Boston's first base situation even more dire, with Abraham Toro projected to see the majority of playing time at the position.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: May require IL stint
Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Gonzalez (back) could spend some time on the injured list, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
No official move has been made just yet, but the Boston skipper hinted toward possible roster moves Saturday that could involve Gonzalez, who hasn't played since colliding with the Rangers' Josh Smith on Wednesday. Abraham Toro has been filling in at first base recently with Gonzalez injured and Triston Casas (knee) out for the season.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Weekend return possible
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday that Gonzalez (back) is still sore but believes the infielder will be ready at some point this weekend, MLB.com reports.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Battling back stiffness
Gonzalez was pulled from Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to back stiffness, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Manager Alex Cora said after the game that the 28-year-old infielder is fine after his collision with Texas' Josh Smith, though Gonzalez's back stiffened up on him following the incident. The Red Sox may elect to hold him out of Thursday's series finale as a precaution, though Gonzalez should avoid an extended absence.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Exits after collision
Gonzalez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers after a collision with Josh Smith, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Gonzalez was down on the ground for a few minutes immediately after running into Smith, but the former was able to walk it off. He then jogged out to play first base for the top of the seventh inning but was quickly called back into the dugout in favor of Abraham Toro. The fact Gonzalez was willing to go back out on defense is an encouraging sign that his removal was precautionary, but the Red Sox should offer some clarity in the near future.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Sitting due to stiff back
Gonzalez (back) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Gonzalez has been serving as Boston's primary option at first base since Triston Casas suffered a ruptured patella tendon Friday, but the former was forced out of Wednesday's 6-4 win due to back stiffness and will need at least one game off to recover. Abraham Toro will step in at first base in Thursday's series finale.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The 28-year-old started the past two games at first base in the wake of Triston Casas' knee injury, but Abraham Toro will make his first start of the season Tuesday. Gonzalez has a .327/.382/.449 slash line with six RBI and three steals through 55 plate appearances this season, and he's likely to operate as Boston's primary first baseman as long as he continues to carry a hot bat.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Starts at first base again
Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota.
Gonzalez started at first base in both games since Triston Casas went down with a season-ending knee injury Friday. Gonzalez is relatively new to the position -- he played 18 games there last season and was part of platoon in 2025 -- and it's unclear if he'll be the permanent fill-in for Casas. He's been consistent all season, hitting safely in nine of 11 starts, and enters Monday's day off with a .327/.382/.449 slash line, three steals, six RBI and 10 runs scored over 16 games.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Hits three singles Saturday
Gonzalez went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.
Gonzalez got the start at first base Saturday and belted three singles while batting in the sixth spot in the lineup. He's expected to see the bulk of starts at first base in the short term after Triston Casas ruptured his left patellar tendon in Friday's game, with Abraham Toro providing depth at the position. How Gonzalez plays over the coming days and weeks will play a factor in how the Red Sox address the position, either internally through the farm system or externally via trade, per Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Fills in at first base
Gonzalez entered for an injured Triston Casas (knee) and went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Minnesota.
Casas sustained what Red Sox manager Alex Cora described as a "significant knee injury," per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. The Red Sox have limited organizational depth at first base, so it looks like Gonzalez, who was a platoon partner at the position with Casas, will be the immediate replacement. The situation will be worth monitoring over the next few days to determine how Cora and the organization plan to address this positional need. Gonzalez is batting .279/.340/.419 with six doubles, two steals, five RBI and nine runs scored over 43 at-bats.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Starts at first base
Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Gonzalez replaced the lefty-hitting Triston Casas at first base against Toronto southpaw Easton Lucas. It was the second time this season the Red Sox have faced a left-handed starter, and Gonzalez started at first base in both games. Red Sox manager Alex Cora talked during spring training about Casas being the everyday starter -- against righties and lefties -- but it hasn't played out that way thus far in a small sampling. Gonzalez has hit in four consecutive outings (7-for-15, five runs) and has reached base safely in all five games played.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Impacts Sunday's doubleheader
Gonzalez went a combined 4-for-7 with an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's doubleheader sweep over St. Louis.
Gonzalez entered the matinee as a pinch hitter, singling in place of starting second baseman David Hamilton in the seventh inning, and finished out at the keystone. The utility infielder then had a big hit in Boston's two-run ninth inning against Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley, delivering a one-out double that plated the first run and put the tying run in scoring position. Boston eventually won the first game in the 10th inning. Gonzalez finished an impactful day by starting the nightcap at first base, contributing two more hits and two runs.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Makes first start
Gonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-5 loss to Baltimore.
Gonzalez made his first start of the season, filling in for Triston Casas against a lefty. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said during spring training that Casas would not be subject to a platoon, but he was on the bench with Boston facing its first lefty of the season. The decision to sit Casas may have more to do with his slow start. Including his pinch-hit appearance Monday, Casas is 1-for-17 with seven strikeouts.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Cleared for Opening Day
Gonzalez (oblique) will be on the Red Sox' active roster for Opening Day, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Gonzalez was held out of the Boston's final six Grapefruit League games as he dealt with right oblique soreness, but he's been working out in recent days and convinced the team he doesn't need a trip to the injured list. The 28-year-old will be part of the Red Sox' bench and will see some starts against southpaws.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Swings bat
Gonzalez (oblique) took some swings Thursday and is expected to return to game action in a few days, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Gonzalez underwent an MRI on his right oblique this week, but those results evidently came back negative and he's poised to return soon. The 28-year-old Gonzalez will operate in a reserve role for the Red Sox, getting the occasional start versus lefties.
