2026 Fantasy Outlook
Gonzalez's breakout 123 wRC+ was no fluke, backed by elite batted-ball data highlighted by a 99th percentile hard-hit rate. He crushed lefties to the tune of a .331/.378/.600 line, though he was still serviceable against right-handers, posting a .286/.318/.400 mark while stepping in for injured teammates at both first and second base. If he can rein in his 13th percentile chase rate, there may even be another level to his production. Regression is likely after last year's surge, but the drop-off shouldn't be steep. With eligibility at both middle and corner infield, Gonzalez profiles as a strong reserve option and a worthwhile active play whenever he's getting steady at-bats. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract with the Red Sox in January of 2026.
Not in Wednesday's lineup
Gonzalez is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the White Sox on Wednesday.
Analysis
Gonzalez will take a breather while the lefty-hitting Masataka Yoshida serves as Boston's designated hitter and bats fifth against White Sox right-hander Davis Martin. Gonzalez has gone 7-for-20 (.350) with five RBI and three extra-base hits over his last five games.

Stat Review
How does Romy Gonzalez compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Gonzalez visited the IL twice in the first half of the 2024 season, first for a wrist issue and then for a sore hamstring. When healthy, he served as the right-handed part of a platoon, appearing everywhere but catcher. He usually hits left-handers better than righties and did so again last season. For the first time, well over half of Gonzalez's plate appearances were versus left-handers, fueling a 97 wRC+, by far a career high. Gonzalez hits the ball hard, but he's an extreme groundball hitter (career 54.4 percent rate) with a high strikeout rate (26.9 percent last season). A low fly-ball rate caps power while the punch-outs hurt his batting average. He sports 90th percentile sprint speed, helping him swipe 18 bases in 21 tries over the past two seasons. Gonzalez' versatile glove work will keep him employed. Fantasy-wise, he's best-suited for daily leagues when he's facing a southpaw.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to miss Opening Day
Gonzalez, who's dealing with a shoulder injury, is expected to miss Opening Day, according to Sean McAdam of MassLive.
Analysis
Gonzalez could end up missing considerable time, as he's going to see a shoulder specialist to determine the best treatment for his injury and to assess the possibility of surgery. Gonzalez hit .305 with an .826 OPS in the 2025 regular season, so his absence would be a huge blow for the Red Sox, especially considering how good he's been against left-handed pitchers throughout his career.
