Gonzalez was optioned to the team's alternate training site Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez was battling for a depth role in the outfield, but lost out on a spot even after Adam Engel (hamstring) suffered an injury that will cost him multiple weeks. Gonzalez made his very brief major-league debut in 2020, when he logged only two plate appearances and is a candidate to return to Chicago later in the season.
