White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Might start opener in right field
Gonzalez could start in right field for the White Sox in Thursday's opener versus the Astros, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Oscar Colas is in line for the bulk of the playing time in right field, but with the Astros starting southpaw Framber Valdez, the left-handed hitting Colas might start on the bench in favor of Gonzalez, with Eloy Jimenez handling the designated hitter spot. Gonzalez clubbed five homers this spring, and while it's a small sample, he sports an .874 OPS versus lefties in the big leagues.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Could lose out on roster spot
Gonzalez could lose out on a roster spot to begin the season in favor of Leury Garcia, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Gonzalez has had an inconsistent spring, leaving his status for Opening Day in flux. On one hand, he's slugged four home runs and added a double across 40 Cactus League at-bats. However, Gonzalez has also struck out 15 times in 43 total plate appearances. While Gonzalez's defensive versatility has been praised by the club, Garcia is also capable of playing many positions, either in the infield or outfield.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Headed for utility role
General manager Rick Hahn praised Gonzalez's defensive versatility when speaking to the media at the beginning of spring training, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
For much of the offseason, Gonzalez was projected to start at second base for the White Sox. That changed when the team signed Elvis Andrus on Feb. 19, but Gonzalez could still make the big-league club out of spring training as a utility option. He's played every defensive position for the organization except first base, catcher and center field, which caused Hahn to draw a comparison between Gonzalez and Ben Zobrist.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Tallies 11th RBI
Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Twins.
Gonzalez lined a ball to right field in the third inning, which turned into an RBI triple after it was misplayed by Matt Wallner. It was Gonzalez's first run batted in across his last 10 starts, and he's hit only .114 across his last 35 at-bats. Despite his struggles, Gonzalez should continue to get consistent run at second base to close the regular season.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Remains on bench
Gonzalez will sit for the second straight game Saturday against the Tigers.
Gonzalez has been the White Sox's primary second baseman since late August, but his playing time may be slipping. Going 2-for-25 with 11 strikeouts over his last nine games presumably isn't helping his case for starts. Josh Harrison will handle the keystone Saturday.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Offensive explosion in rout
Gonzalez went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three runs scored and three RBI in a 14-2 win Thursday in Oakland.
Gonzalez singled and scored in the second, doubled and scored in the fifth and smashed a three-run homer in the sixth. It was the first four-hit game of his career and his second game with at least three hits in his last five starts. After struggling with a .198/.282/.339 slash line in 33 games for Triple-A Charlotte before his promotion, the 25-year-old has attacked big-league pitching, posting a .339/.356/.500 line in 15 contests. He's started 11 of Chicago's last 12 games and should continue to see regular playing time over the final weeks of the season.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Heads to bench Wednesday
Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle.
Gonzalez went 9-for-26 (.346 average) with a home run and four RBI while starting in each of the White Sox's last seven games, but an 0:8 BB:K over that stretch suggests he wasn't completely dialed in at the plate. He'll take a seat for the series finale in Seattle, and Gonzalez could be in danger of moving into more of a part-time role now that Yoan Moncada is back from the injured list. With Moncada taking over as Chicago's primary third baseman, Gonzalez now has to contend with Elvis Andrus, Josh Harrison and Leury Garcia for one of the two everyday roles in the middle infield.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Hits first big-league homer
Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-0 win over the Twins.
Gonzalez went deep in the fourth inning to stretch Chicago's lead to 7-0. It was his first big-league homer in his 21st game, and he also doubled his RBI output for the year to six. The 25-year-old infielder has added a .317/.341/.439 slash line through 11 contests this season, but he could be at risk of losing playing time once Yoan Moncada (hamstring) returns, which is likely to happen early next week.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Heads to bench Tuesday
Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
Gonzalez served as the White Sox's starting second baseman and leadoff man in each of the past three contests, going 2-for-12 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI. Though normal table setter Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the lineup, AJ Pollock will get a spin as the White Sox's leadoff man Tuesday, while Leury Garcia replaces Gonzalez in the infield.

White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Third straight turn as leadoff man
Gonzalez will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
With usual leadoff man Luis Robert (wrist) sidelined for the entire series against the Diamondbacks and with the White Sox having an opening in the infield following Yoan Moncada's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list, Gonzalez will make a third straight turn out of the table-setting spot. He was able to capitalize on the opportunity in Saturday's 10-5 loss, going 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run. With Josh Harrison set to serve as Moncada's primary replacement, Gonzalez could end up settling in as the White Sox's main option at second base. Gonzalez's main challenger for playing time, Leury Garcia, returned from an IL stint of his own Saturday and is slashing a lowly .209/.234/.271 in 292 plate appearances on the season.
