Gonzalez (shoulder) has a 10:4 K:BB ratio in 11 scoreless innings while on rehab assignment with the Gulf Coast League Phillies.

The Gulf Coast League ended their season on Saturday, so Gonzalez will either continue his rehab with another affiliate or rejoin Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 28-year-old was outrighted off the Phillies' 40-man roster back in April. He will likely get a chance to compete for a bullpen spot next spring.

Gonzalez has been shut down again with weakness in his shoulder, CSN Philadelphia reports.

Gonzalez was shut down earlier this year with inflammation in his right shoulder. He may not pitch at all this season given this most recent setback.

GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said Gonzalez (shoulder) has started long tossing, the Phillies' official site reports.

Gonzalez is sidelined with inflammation in his right shoulder. He will likely join the rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley once healthy.

Gonzalez will be shut down for 2-to-3 weeks after an MRI revealed he is dealing with inflammation in his right shoulder, MLB.com's Todd Zolecki reports.

Gonzalez missed time last season with a shoulder injury, and he will do so again in 2015. He will be reevaluated later this month, and the Phillies will determine the next step at this point, but don't expect to see him pitching for the big club any time soon.

Gonzalez was outrighted off the 40-man roster Wednesday.

Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Sunday, but has now officially been removed from the 40-man roster. With the move, it will be more difficult for him to secure a spot in the starting rotation even if an injury occurs, and he'll likely serve as organizational depth in 2015.

The Phillies optioned Gonzalez to the minors on Sunday, CSN Philadelphia reports.

Gonzalez was competing for a starting job this spring, but did not pitch well. He allowed 12 earned runs on 25 hits, including five home runs. He is expected to remain in a starting role at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and could join the Phillies later this season.

Manager Ryne Sandberg indicated Wednesday that Gonzalez remains in competition for the final spot in the Phillies' rotation, CSN Philadelphia reports.

Gonzalez hasn't done much this spring to earn the job. He was hit hard Wednesday and now has a 7.53 ERA this spring. He is competing with Kevin Slowey and Sean O'Sullivan for what is likely a temporary starting spot as Chad Billingsley is expected to join the rotation two or three weeks into the season.

Gonzalez allowed one run on five hits over 3.1 innings against the Pirates on Friday. He walked one and struck out one.

Gonzalez entered the game having given up seven runs on 12 hits, including three home runs, in seven innings this spring. He remains in competition with Kevin Slowey and Paul Clemens for the final spot in the Phillies' rotation.

Gonzalez (knee) allowed two runs and struck out two over three innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.

Gonzalez, who left his last start with a right knee contusion, gave up a two run homer in the first before settling down over the next two innings. He has allowed seven runs on 12 hits this spring (three have been home runs). Gonzalez still has time to earn a rotation spot, but he has likely fallen behind David Buchanan and Kevin Slowey in the competition for the two spots up for grabs.

Gonzalez suffered a right knee contusion Tuesday and was taken out for precautionary reasons, Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

He took a come-backer off the knee Tuesday, but plans to pitch in his next scheduled outing, so there should be no change in the way he is viewed by fantasy owners.

Gonzalez exited Tuesday's spring game after being struck on the right leg by a batted ball, CSN's Jim Salisbury reports.

The extent of Gonzalez's setback is uncertain, but he limped off the field after being struck by a comebacker. Expect Gonzalez's status to be updated as more details become available.

Gonzalez allowed two runs on four hits over two innings in his spring debut Thursday.

Not a great appearance for Gonzalez, but manager Ryne Sandberg told the Phillies' official site that he saw signs of improvement from last spring. Sandberg noted that Gonzalez, who struggled with shoulder issues last season, showed better stuff and more zip on his fastball. He is competing for the final spot in the Phillies' rotation, but is presumed to be behind David Buchanan for the job.

GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said Gonzalez's salary does not guarantee him a spot on the Phillies' roster, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

Gonzalez is due to make $3.67 million this season, which is the fifth highest of any pitcher on the Phillies' roster. He will compete for a rotation spot this spring, but could still earn a bullpen spot if he fails to win a starting job.

Manager Ryne Sanberg confirmed that Gonzalez will get a chance to earn a rotation spot this spring, the Phillies' official site reports.

The Phillies had previously said after last season that Gonzalez was going to get an opportunity to compete as a starter. He missed a lot of time last season with shoulder problems and was then moved to the bullpen which seemed to help him get over the hump with his arm troubles. He is competing with David Buchanan and Chad Billingsley for the final spot in the Phillies' rotation.

GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said Gonzalez will get a chance to earn a spot in the team's rotation next spring, CSN Philly reports.

The Phillies currently have three starting pitchers projected to fill rotation spots next year, leaving two spots to be filled by the start of next season. Gonzalez has been working as a reliever since June, when he was finally healthy enough to pitch in games. His numbers haven't been great since he was promoted to the majors in September, but he's had plenty of life on his fastball. He's a bit of a sleeper for next season assuming his arm can hold up to a starting role.

Gonzalez allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning against the Padres on Tuesday.

Gonzalez, who hit 98 mph on the radar gun, has allowed at least one base runner to reach in each of his four appearances since joining the Phillies. He has a 4.50 ERA and a 4:3 K:BB ratio over those four innings.

GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said the Phillies are still assessing Gonzalez's future role with the team, CSN Philly reports.

The Phillies would rather have Gonzalez pitch as a starter, but he had difficulty staying healthy this year and pitched well once he was transitioned to a relief role. Given their rotation needs, the Phillies will likely try to stretch Gonzalez out next spring to see if he can handle a starting role.

Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Gonzalez, whom the Phillies signed to a three-year, $12 million contract last year, battled a shoulder issue throughout much of the season but went on post a 1.62 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 in 12 appearances after joining Lehigh Valley. His time working out of the major league bullpen in September will be a valuable learning experience, but the Phillies are likely hoping Gonzalez can make a push for a rotation spot in spring training.

The Phillies are considering calling up Gonzalez in September, CSN Philly reports.

Gonzalez has a 2.25 ERA and a 10:8 K:BB ratio in 12 innings since he was promoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley earlier this month. He would be used in a relief role if he is recalled, but could be stretched out as a starter next spring.

Gonzalez has been promoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Stephen Gross of the Morning Call reports.

With opponents batting just .192 against Gonzalez at Double-A Reading, the Phillies will move the hard-throwing right-hander up to face more advanced competition. He'll likely remain in a bullpen role the rest of the way, and it's possible he could be up in September to eat some innings with the big club, but the team may very well look to get him back stretched out in spring training.
