Carlos Gonzalez (wrist) is expected to arrive at spring training with no limitations.
CarGo was bothered by a right wrist injury for most of the second half of the 2011 season. After resting for about two months, he is now swinging a bat daily in his native Venezuela. The 25-year-old batted .295/.363/.526 with 26 home runs, 92 RBI and 20 stolen bases last season and should be one of the top outfielders off the board in fantasy leagues.

Carlos Gonzalez estimates that he is "70 percent" recovered from his right wrist injury.
CarGo was plagued by the wrist issue for most of the 2011 season's second half. He still batted .295/.363/.526 with 26 home runs, 92 RBI and 20 stolen bases, but the dynamic 25-year-old is capable of even better. He should be back to 100 percent well before the start of spring training.

Carlos Gonzalez (wrist) has been shut down for the rest of the season.
Not a big surprise, as Gonzalez hasn't played since aggravating his right wrist on September 15. He will wear a brace for three to four weeks following the season, but should be good to go for 2012. The 25-year-old outfielder batted .295/.363/.526 slash line with 26 home runs, 92 RBI, 20 stolen bases and an .889 OPS this season.

Carlos Gonzalez (wrist) will wear a cast or brace for three to four weeks following the season.
Gonzalez is doubtful to play again this year due to lingering discomfort in his right wrist, and will likely finish up having posted a .295/.363/.526 slash line, 20 steals and 26 homers. The 25-year-old is a top fantasy player when healthy.

Troy Renck of the Denver Post writes that Carlos Gonzalez (wrist) is "doubtful" to play again this season.
CarGo hasn't played since aggravating his right wrist last Thursday. It's about time (in redraft leagues, anyway) to drop him for somebody who is actually playing.
