Gonzales underwent flexor tendon repair surgery on his left forearm Friday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzales is expected to need 12 months before returning to play, meaning he will likely be sidelined for most, if not all of the 2025 campaign. The Pirates are expected to decline his $15 million team option for next season, and the 32-year-old southpaw may pursue a two-year deal in free agency.
