Gonzalez exited Wednesday's game against the White Sox after getting hit by a pitch on the head, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was a scary moment as Gonzalez was helped off the field by a pair of trainers after taking a Rob Scahill fastball off his helmet. More should be known as he's further evaluated in the coming days.

Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez plated three runs in the sixth inning with a double to center, pushing Cleveland's lead to five. He's seen inconsistent playing time so far this season, but he's managed to put together a .360/.396/.580 batting line with a .976 OPS through 29 games. Gonzalez figures to continue serving as a second-string utility infielder for the Indians as the season progresses.

Gonzalez will likely be on the major-league roster to start the 2018 season, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez was battling for a reserve infielder role with Giovanny Urshela (hamstring) all spring, but with the latter expected to open the season on the disabled list, Gonzalez is the lone competitor for the spot. The 26-year-old batted .297 in 17 games this spring.

Gonzalez is not expected to miss any additional time after suffering an ankle contusion during Wednesday's split-squad contest, Chris Assenheimer of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez limped off the field after suffering the injury sliding into second base during the spring game. He was cleared to play in Thursday's Cactus League outing, but the Indians will be cautious with their utility man and give him a day off to rest and recover.

Gonzalez limped off the field during Wednesday's split-squad game after appearing to injury his ankle while sliding into second base, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez should be considered day-to-day with an ankle injury, and an update on his status is expected following Wednesday's contest. The 26-year-old is competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster in a utility role, which would obviously take a hit if he's unable to see the field for an extended period of time.

Gonzalez will compete for one of the final active roster spots during spring training, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

For now, it seems like his main competition for the reserve utility infielder role is Giovanny Urshela. Both 26-year-old players are out of options, so that situation provides little clarity heading into the spring. Gonzalez does have a bit of an edge when it comes to speed, as he logged double-digit steal seasons in four of the past five years compared to Urshela's goose egg in that category the last three years. The speedy middle infielder also hit better than Urshela in the majors, as his batting average over the past two seasons is roughly 40 points higher. Past stats aside, Gonzalez will still need to perform well in Cactus League action to land a spot on the Opening Day roster.

Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's 11-2 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez took fill-in starter Mike Pelfrey deep for a two-run shot in the third inning after Edwin Encarnacion got him in the first and Francisco Lindor hit one out in the second. He later added a sacrifice fly in the seventh and a solo homer in the ninth. Despite this performance, the 26-year-old middle infielder doesn't have the offensive capabilities of his fellow infielders, which is why he usually bats ninth when he's inserted into the lineup. Gonzalez's .281/.293/.469 line in 100 plate appearances is respectable, though.

Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

For the third time this season, Jason Kipnis (hamstring) landed on the DL. Gonzalez owns a .272/.400/.672 slash line over 39 games with the Tribe this year. He'll fill the reserve role at second and third base while Kipnis is sidelined.

Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just a day after he was summoned back to the big club, Gonzalez will head back to the minors to clear room for recently acquired Jay Bruce. The 25-year-old, who has slashed .263/.272/.400 in 80 at-bats for the Indians this season, will rejoin Columbus with his eyes set on a September call up.

Gonzalez was recalled by the Indians on Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez returns to the big leagues just days after being sent down to Triple-A Columbus, taking the roster spot of the injured Michael Brantley (ankle). The 25-year-old has mainly served in a utility role for Cleveland this year, slashing a respectable .263/.272/.400 over just 80 at-bats and playing four different positions in the field. He'll likely find himself relegated to a reserve bat off the bench, however, only to be optioned down once Brantley is able to return from his mild ankle sprain.
