Gonzalez's injury from Tuesday night is a high-ankle sprain and he'll likely miss the remainder of the playoffs, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a 13-inning game against the Dodgers in which the Brewers used seven pitchers, it's a bit of an advantage for the Brewers to be able to replace Gonzalez with another pitcher. The team hasn't yet announced his replacement on the playoff roster.

Gonzalez exited during the second inning Tuesday in Game 4 of the NLCS after suffering a left ankle injury, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez rolled his left ankle fielding a grounder to start the second inning and attempted to remain in the game, but was pulled after one pitch when he showed clear discomfort. The veteran left-hander struggled in the brief appearance, allowing one run on two hits and a walk, while also hitting a batter. Rookie Freddy Peralta took the mound for the Brewers.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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 be a candidate to relieve Gonzalez after not pitching since Friday.

Gonzalez will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez will make his first appearance this postseason opposite the Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw. 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 didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-4 win over the Pirates, giving up three runs on three hits and four walks over 4.2 innings while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
It was a typically inefficient performance from the southpaw, who got staked to a 3-0 lead in the first inning but couldn't stick around long enough to qualify for a win. Gonzalez will carry a 4.44 ERA into his next outing Wednesday at home against the Reds.

Gonzalez (8-11) allowed one run (none earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out seven across 5.2 innings to earn the win Saturday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez had a successful debut as a Brewer, turning in his first scoreless start since May 28 and highest strikeout total since June 2. He managed those results on the strength of 16 swinging strikes and six groundball outs. Gonzalez has struggled with inconsistency across his last nine outings, allowing only one earned run or fewer in four starts but also allowing five or more earned runs in the other five.

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

Gonzalez will make some starts in September but will remain in the bullpen at least through the conclusion of next week's series against the Cubs, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers acquired Gonzalez at the waiver deadline, though his mediocre 4.57 ERA isn't enough for him to immediately displace any of their current starters. He could potentially steal Junior Guerra's spot, as Guerra has allowed six runs in two of his last three starts, or he could be used as part of a six-man rotation. The lefty doesn't have the sort of high-strikeout profile which would give him fantasy relevance out of the bullpen, so he's unlikely to be much of an asset until he regains a starting role.

Gonzalez was traded from the Nationals to the Brewers on Friday in exchange for two minor leaguers, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's been an up and down year for Gonzalez, who owns a 4.57 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 27 starts this season. He's struggled to a 7.47 ERA and 1.82 WHIP across six starts in August, but the Brewers are hoping a change of scenery can help him pitch closer to his 2017 form (2.96 ERA across 32 starts). The southpaw figures to immediately slot into Milwaukee's starting rotation, though it's unclear when his first start for the Brewers will come at this point.

Gonzalez didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Phillies, getting tagged for six runs on six hits and three walks over five innings while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
The southpaw seemed headed for his eighth win of the year until a Carlos Santana grand slam in the fifth inning turned the game around for the Phillies. It's the fifth time in his last eight starts that Gonzalez has given up five runs or more, saddling him with a dreadful 6.55 ERA over that stretch. He'll look for a better result in his next outing Tuesday at home against the Cardinals.
