The Yankees released Gonzalez on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The left-hander has been with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since being DFA'd by the Yankees in June, but he's now been let go during the closing stretch of the campaign. Gonzalez made 27 appearances for New York this year and had a 3.86 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 11:13 K:BB across 23.1 innings.

The Yankees outrighted Gonzalez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. Gonzalez didn't garner any interest via trade or waivers, despite owning a 3.22 ERA and 86:31 K:BB in 89.1 career innings in the majors coming into 2024. He'll remain in the Yankees organization and provide left-handed relief depth at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Yankees designated Gonzalez for assignment Friday. Gonzalez was acquired via trade from the Dodgers over the offseason and didn't pitch well in pinstripes, holding a 3.86 ERA but an ugly 11:13 K:BB over 23.1 innings. The 28-year-old had a career 3.22 ERA and 86:31 K:BB in 89.1 innings coming into 2024, so there could be interest by way of waivers or trade.

Gonzalez earned the save Sunday, allowing one walk and no hits with a strikeout over a scoreless inning. Gonzalez drew the save opportunity due to Clay Holmes getting a day off, and the former converted for his second save of the campaign. Gonzalez has been a reliable arm for the Yankees thus far, yielding a run in just one of his nine appearances this season (8.1 innings).

Gonzalez picked up the save Monday against the Diamondbacks, surrendering no runs on one hit and no walks over one inning. He didn't generate a strikeout. Gonzalez surprisingly was handed the ball in the ninth, filling in for closer Clay Holmes, who got the night off after making two straight appearances to end March. The 28-year-old capitalized on the opportunity, cashing in for his second career save -- his first since 2021. While he likely won't see many more save chances fall his way, Gonzalez landing ninth-inning work Monday likely serves as a vote of confidence from Yankees manager Aaron Boone.
