47 Gio Gonzalez SP

Gonzalez has been named the starting pitcher for Game 4 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Gonzalez opened the NLCS for Milwaukee, tossing two innings while giving up a run on a solo homer off the bat of Manny Machado. This could turn out to be yet another short start for Gonzalez, with manager Craig Counsell likely attempting to keep some of the Dodgers' left-handed bats out of the starting nine. Brandon Woodruff figures to relieve Gonzalez after not pitching since Friday.

Gonzalez will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Friday.

Gonzalez will make his first appearance of the postseason opposite the Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw in Friday's series opener. Wade Miley will follow Gonzalez in Game 2, while Jhoulys Chacin is slated to start Game 3 in Los Angeles. Since being acquired from the Nationals at the end of August, Gonzalez has posted a 2.13 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB in five starts (25.1 innings) for the Brewers.

Gonzalez will start for the Brewers against the Tigers on Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Gonzalez has excelled with a 2.66 ERA in four starts with Milwaukee, but the Brewers might have a quick hook in order to sub in one of their elite bullpen options if Gonzalez struggles. Either way, a matchup with Detroit makes him a favorable option for fantasy players chasing a title, even if they should have a conservative estimation of his pitch count or innings workload.

Gonzalez allowed three runs on three hits in four innings Tuesday against the Cardinals, striking out two and walking two in a no-decision.

Gonzalez pitched decently outside of a three-run homer allowed to Yadier Molina and was lifted for a pinch hitter in the top of the fifth inning. In four starts now for the Brewers, Gonzalez is 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 20 strikeouts against nine walks in 20.1 innings. The lefty is not currently slated to start again this season, but things could change depending on the Brewers' playoff situation and if they need him take the mound for the final game of the season at home against the Tigers.

Gonzalez will start Saturday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez will make his first start for the Brewers over the weekend after being acquired from the Nationals at the waiver deadline. The veteran southpaw posted a lackluster 4.57 and 1.53 WHIP across 27 starts with the Nationals before being dealt to Milwaukee, but the Brewers are hoping a change of scenery can help him pitch closer to his 2017 form (2.96 ERA across 32 starts).
