Nick Gonzales News: Struggling in small sample

Published on June 6, 2025

Gonzales went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Thursday against the Astros.

Gonzalez has started two of three games since being activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. He hit sixth against a right-handed starter Tuesday but slotted into the cleanup spot with southpaw Framber Valdez on the mound Thursday. Despite the ugly effort, Gonzales should remain a key part of the Pittsburgh lineup moving forward.
