47 Gio Gonzalez SP

Gonzalez allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out seven across 5.1 innings Saturday against the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.

Gonzalez suppressed the Mets' offense, allowing only one extra-base hit on the night, an RBI triple by Amed Rosario in the second inning. Though his seven strikeouts were supported by only nine called strikes and 12 swinging strikes, Gonzalez has walked just one batter across his 10.1 innings as a member of the Brewers. Given the current state of the Milwaukee pitching staff, it's almost certain Gonzalez will get another turn in the rotation, with his next start likely to come Friday at Wrigley Field.

Gonzalez is slated to make his next start Saturday against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Freddy Peralta's (shoulder) announced return from the 10-day injured list for Thursday's series finale against the Rockies temporarily left the back end of the Milwaukee rotation in flux, but the crowding was eased Wednesday, when Chase Anderson (finger) was forced to the IL. Anderson's absence should allow Gonzalez to stick in the rotation for at least two more starts after the 34-year-old fared well in his initial outing with the big club last weekend. Gonzalez will get a second straight matchup with the Mets squad he limited to two runs on six hits and a walk over five innings.

Gonzalez surrendered two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in Sunday's no-decision against the Mets.

Gonzalez toed the rubber in a big-league game for the first time this season after starting three games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre while with the Yankees. Milwaukee, who was in desperate need of an experienced starter, signed the veteran lefty Wednesday and immediately moved him into the starting rotation. The 33-year-old didn't disappoint in the series finale, as he kept the Brewers in the ballgame and departed in a tie after tossing 82 pitches, 55 for strikes. Gonzalez's next outing is scheduled for Friday, also against the Mets.

Gonzalez will start Sunday against the Mets, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Gonzalez started the season in the minors after signing late in camp with the Yankees. Released from the team less than a week ago, he's already in the majors with Milwaukee and set for his season debut. It's unclear if his place in the rotation will last long, as Freddy Peralta is nearing a return from his shoulder injury, though it could be Chase Anderson who heads to the bullpen at that point rather than Gonzalez.

Gonzalez agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Brewers on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Gonzalez is headed back to Milwaukee -- where he ended the 2018 campaign -- after being cut loose by the Yankees earlier in the week. The southpaw figures to immediately join the Brewers' beat-up starting rotation, though it's still unclear when his first start might come. Across five starts with the Brewers in 2018, Gonzalez went 3-0 and posted a 2.13 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB in 25.1 innings.
