Gonzalez's contract was selected by the Giants on Friday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez appeared in 11 games at Triple-A Sacramento to begin the year, and he hit .283 with three homers, seven runs, seven RBI and four stolen bases. He'll provide depth in the major-league outfield after Steven Duggar (oblique) was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday.

Gonzalez went 0-for-2 in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez underwent shoulder surgery in August after he was claimed by the Giants on waivers from the White Sox. He posted a .241/.352/.423 slash line with seven home runs, nine stolen bases, 20 RBI and 24 runs scored in 40 games with Triple-A Charlotte in 2021. The Giants are deep enough in the outfield that Gonzalez is likely to begin the season with Triple-A Sacramento now that he's healthy.

Gonzalez (shoulder) signed a minor-league deal with the Giants on Thursday, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was claimed off waivers by the Giants in August, but he was non-tendered by the club three months later. He spent most of the 2021 season with Triple-A Charlotte as a member of the White Sox organization and posted a .241/.352/.423 line across 163 plate appearances prior to undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum. Entering his age-26 season, Gonzalez has only 13 major-league plate appearances and is likely to serve as organizational depth.

Gonzalez (shoulder) was non-tendered by the Giants on Tuesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was claimed off waivers by the Giants in August, and he'll now depart the organization. The 26-year-old underwent surgery to repair the labrum in his right shoulder in August, and it's unclear when he's expected to be fully recovered.

The Giants recalled Gonzalez (shoulder) from Triple-A Sacramento and placed him on the 60-day injured list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
San Francisco claimed Gonzalez off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday, even though the 25-year-old outfielder is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery during the upcoming week to repair the labrum in his right shoulder. As such, the decision to recall him and place him on the 60-day IL appears to be a procedural move that opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jay Jackson, who was activated from the COVID-19-related IL on Sunday.

Gonzalez (shoulder) was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Wednesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was placed on release waivers by the White Sox on Monday and was a strong candidate to return to the team on a minor-league contract if he had gone unclaimed on waivers. The 25-year-old is slated to undergo season-ending surgery next week to address a labrum injury, so he won't take the field with his new club until at least 2022.

The White Sox released Gonzalez (shoulder) on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was cast off the 40-man roster with Chicago needing a spot for Luis Robert (hip), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener in Minnesota. According to James Fegan of The Athletic, Gonzalez -- who was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte in late June -- is set to undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery next week to address a labrum injury. The shoulder procedure would have made Gonzalez a likely non-tender candidate this winter had he remained on the 40-man roster for the rest of the season, so the White Sox's decision to part ways with him early isn't a major surprise.

Gonzalez is dealing with a right labrum injury, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is without a timetable to return. Gonzalez has been up and down between the majors and Triple-A this season and profiles as a fourth or fifth outfielder long term.

The White Sox optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was up with the big club for a week, going 2-for-8 with a pair of doubles and three walks while appearing in five games. He served mostly as a reserve outfielder during his time in Chicago, but he'll cede those duties to Billy Hamilton (oblique), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Gonzalez started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez made his first start after being called up Tuesday when the White Sox placed Adam Engel (hamstring) on the injured list. He was part of a makeshift outfield that included two players that didn't start the season in the majors (Gonzalez and Brian Goodwin) and a third who is a converted infielder (Jake Lamb). While the White Sox navigate multiple injuries in the outfield, there could be an opportunity for Gonzalez to seize regular at-bats, although his minor league track record suggests that is unlikely. He batted .195/.302/.341 in 96 plate appearances for Triple-A Charlotte prior to be being promoted.
