Gonzalez signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez spent the entire 2023 season with the Triple-A affiliate of the White Sox and slashed .272/.322/.360 with five homers and three steals across 131 games. The 32-year-old will function as organizational infield depth for Cincinnati leading into the 2024 campaign.

Gonzalez was reassigned to minor-league camp by the White Sox on Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was signed as a non-roster invite in January. The infielder was given an chance to win a backup infield spot with the White Sox, but Hanser Alberto will almost assuredly win that job with Gonzalez moved to minor-league camp.

Gonzalez signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez, 31, is a career .242/.276/.340 hitter over parts of seven major-league seasons. He most recently was with the Marlins for a brief period in 2022, appearing in 16 games. The White Sox have an opening at second base, but it won't be a good sign for the team's success if Gonzalez winds up playing a lot for them.

The Marlins outrighted Gonzalez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday after he cleared waivers.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez will stay in the Miami organization after he was cast off the 40-man roster Friday to open up a spot for outfielder Billy Hamilton, whose contract was selected from Jacksonville. Before being designated for assignment, Gonzalez saw action in 16 games for the Marlins and slashed .189/.268/.216 over 41 plate appearances.

Gonzalez was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez had his contract selected from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday and went 1-for-6 with a double and two strikeouts while appearing in three games before getting DFA'd. The move was made in correspondence with Joey Wendle (hamstring) being activated from the 10-day injured list and Billy Hamilton having his contract selected Friday. He will either report to Jacksonville, get claimed by another team or be released outright, the first of which seems most likely.

Gonzalez had his contract selected by the Marlins and is starting at third base Sunday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was up in the majors for a few weeks in May and appeared in 12 games, but he struggled at the plate with a .194/.286/.194 slash line. He'll rejoin Miami's 26- and 40-man rosters Sunday, as Willians Astudillo was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Gonzalez was returned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins selected Gonzalez's contract to fill in for Joey Wendle (hamstring) and made space for him on the roster by placing Richard Bleier (illness) on the COVID-19 injured list. With both Wendle and Bleier activated Thursday, Gonzalez will head back to Jacksonville. Across 35 plate appearances with Miami, Gonzalez maintained a .194/.286/.194 line with three RBI and four runs scored.

Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a run scored and his first stolen base of the season in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at shortstop and hitting eighth, the 30-year-old utility player was able to make a contribution in a 4-3 victory. Gonzalez is batting only .192 (5-for-26) since his promotion with three RBI and four runs, and with Jon Berti (illness) expected to rejoin the roster any day now, Gonzalez's latest stint in the majors could be drawing to a close.

Gonzalez will start at third base and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez will stay in the lineup for the third game in a row after going 1-for-6 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored over the Marlins' previous two contests. The versatile infielder has started at three different positions in the past three days, but he'll likely lose hold of his utility role -- and likely, his spot on the 40-man roster -- once Jon Berti (illness) is cleared to return from the COVID-19-related injured list.

The Marlins selected Gonzalez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Sunday's game in San Diego, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miami cleared room for Gonzalez on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster by placing reliever Richard Bleier on the COVID-19 injured list. Even though he was moved on the roster in place of Bleier, Gonzalez is expected to step into Jon Berti's role as a righty-hitting infielder off the bench after Berti was placed on the COVID-19 IL on Saturday.
