Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Moves to third base mid-game
Romy Gonzalez entered Friday's game as a pinch runner and remained in the 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Twins. He was hitless in his lone plate appearance.Gonzalez initially played second base but eventually moved to third in the 11th inning, when Rafael Devers (shoulder) was removed from the game. Devers will undergo an MRI on Saturday and faces of the prospect of his season being over. That would create an opening at third base, where Gonzalez and Nick Sogard would likely fill in.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Wreaks havoc on basepaths
Romy Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI, three stolen bases and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox.Gonzalez had not logged a steal since July 26, making him an unlikely candidate to swipe three bags in a game. Even with his show of speed Saturday, he's at 10 steals this season. The utility man has added a .285/.333/.437 slash line with four home runs, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and 10 doubles over 174 plate appearances. He hasn't been strictly limited to a short-side platoon role, but the return of Trevor Story (shoulder) may make it tougher for Gonzalez to pick up at-bats versus righties.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Blasts three-run homer
Romy Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Royals.Gonzalez's blast put the Boston Red Sox ahead 3-2 in the third inning. The backup infielder has gone 4-for-11 with three homers and seven RBI over his last five contests, but that's a span that dates back to July 29. For the season, he's at a .284/.336/.477 slash line with four homers, 17 RBI, 13 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 120 plate appearances. Gonzalez is likely to remain as a right-handed-hitting platoon option at a number of positions, primarily second base.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Homers as pinch hitter
Romy Gonzalez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run against the Royals in Monday's 9-5 victory.Gonzalez entered the contest in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter for Dominic Smith and promptly smashed a 452-foot, two-run homer to center field. It was his second long ball in his past four contests after he had gone deep just once over his first 98 at-bats this season. Gonzalez's overall slash line of .283/.336/.453 is pretty solid, but he doesn't see the field often enough to be a viable fantasy asset in most formats -- he plays almost exclusively against left-handed pitchers and has started just once over Boston's past seven contests.
