Gonzales will be pushed out of the rotation for at least one turn, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports Friday.
The Mariners need to make room for new acquisition Mike Leake in their rotation. As the owner of a 7.40 ERA and a 1.98 WHIP over five starts for the Mariners, Gonzales was the easy choice. Manager Scott Servais suggested there was a chance that Gonzales could return to the rotation, but given his struggles this season, it would be a surprise.
