Marco Gonzales: Becomes free agent
Gonzales elected to become a free agent Tuesday.
He had been removed from the Rangers' 40-man roster, and Gonzales has opted to seek a job elsewhere rather than accepting an outright assignment. The lefty has yielded one run with a 3:4 K:BB over 6.2 innings covering three appearances for the Rangers this season.

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: DFA'd by Rangers
The Rangers designated Gonzales for assignment Saturday.
The Rangers will push Gonzales off the active and 40-man rosters to create roster space for Jakob Junis (thigh), who returned from the 15-day injured list Saturday. Gonzales has surrendered just one run in 6.2 innings with the Rangers but carries a 7.57 ERA and 1.87 WHIP across 69 frames in the minors this season.

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Selected from Triple-A
The Rangers selected Gonzales' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
Gonzales elected free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A on Aug. 2 but returned to the Rangers on a minor-league deal shortly afterward and will now reclaim a spot in the big-league bullpen, replacing Ben Peoples. Gonzales has given up just one run in six MLB innings this season, but his 7.57 ERA and 1.87 WHIP at Triple-A suggest that he's best suited for low-leverage situations with the Rangers.

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Returns to Texas on MiLB deal
Gonzales re-signed Friday with the Rangers on a minor-league contract.
Gonzales will report to Triple-A Round Rock after coming to terms on a new deal with Texas just five days after electing free agency. The 34-year-old lefty previously made two appearances at the big-league level for the Rangers, giving up one earned run on seven hits and four walks over six innings.

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Clears waivers
The Rangers outrighted Gonzales to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
Gonzales cleared waivers and will stick around in the Texas organization after he was designated for assignment Friday. The veteran southpaw was up with the Rangers for about a week and a half, making two relief appearances and allowing one earned run on seven hits and four walks across six innings.

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Removed from 40-man roster
The Rangers designated Gonzales for assignment Friday.
Gonzales permitted a total of one run in a pair of three-inning relief outings for the Rangers, but he's nonetheless being jettisoned to waivers. The southpaw would have the ability to elect free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Earns first MLB save
Gonzales recorded his first career save Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings.
After Kumar Rocker limited Chicago to one hit across six scoreless innings, Gonzales took over for his first appearance of the season after being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. He allowed at least one baserunner in each inning but was able to finish off the game for the first save of his major-league career after spending most of his time as a starter since debuting in 2014. Gonzales joined the Rangers on a minor-league deal in late June and allowed 16 earned runs over 16.2 innings in three Triple-A starts before his promotion. He isn't expected to see many future save chances.

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Joins big-league bullpen
The Rangers selected Gonzales' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Gonzales joined the Rangers on a minor-league pact in late June and has since allowed 16 earned runs in just 16.2 innings over three starts. Despite his poor performance, the 34-year-old will return to the majors for the first time in two seasons and join the Rangers' bullpen as a long reliever, replacing the injured Jose Corniell (elbow).

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Gets MiLB pact from Rangers
Gonzales agreed to a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The Padres released Gonzales last week after he posted a 7.99 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB over 47.1 innings at Triple-A El Paso. The 34-year-old lefty had previously spent parts of 10 seasons in the majors before missing the entirety of the 2025 campaign following flexor tendon surgery. Gonzales will give the Rangers some experienced rotation depth, presumably at Triple-A Round Rock.

Marco Gonzales: Let go by Padres
The Padres released Gonzales on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Gonzales had spent the season with Triple-A El Paso prior to his release Tuesday. There, he had a 7.99 ERA with a 2.03 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB over 47.1 innings across 13 outings. The southpaw had missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his left forearm. His last MLB appearances were in 2024, when he had a 4.54 ERA in seven games for the Pirates.

Padres' Marco Gonzales: Won't make Opening Day roster
The Padres reassigned Gonzales to minor-league camp Saturday.
Gonzales signed with San Diego on a minor-league contract in late January. The Padres had an open competition for their final two rotation spots this spring, but Gonzales failed to make an intriguing case, posting an ugly 10.80 ERA, 2.55 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB over 13.1 innings. The 34-year-old missed all of last season while recovering from flexor tendon repair surgery in his left forearm, and given his results this spring, it's clear he hasn't yet fully shaken off the rust.

Padres' Marco Gonzales: Nets NRI pact from San Diego
The Padres signed Gonzales to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Gonzales will receive $1.5 million if in the majors, with an additional $1 million available in incentives. The lefty went unsigned while missing the entire 2025 season following flexor tendon surgery, but he should be fully recovered from that operation and enter spring training without major restrictions. Gonzales -- who turns 34 in February -- hasn't pitched in a game setting since Aug. 2024, so he'll surely need some time in the minors. He holds a career 4.16 ERA over 170 appearances (162 starts) at the major-league level.

Marco Gonzales: Free agent after option declined
The Pirates declined Gonzales' (forearm) $15 million club option for 2025 on Monday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Gonzales will miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season after having flexor tendon surgery in September, so declining the option was a given. He'll enter free agency as he continues the rehab process.

Pirates' Marco Gonzales: Undergoes surgery
Gonzales underwent flexor tendon repair surgery on his left forearm Friday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Gonzales is expected to need 12 months before returning to play, meaning he could be sidelined for the entire 2025 campaign. The Pirates are expected to decline his $15 million team option for next season.

Pirates' Marco Gonzales: Slated for flexor tendon surgery
Gonzales will undergo left flexor tendon surgery in early September and is expected to be sidelined for 9-to-12 months, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Gonzales is getting his second forearm surgery in just over a year, as he had an operation last August for a nerve issue. The lefty was ready in time for Opening Day after last year's surgery, but the upcoming procedure will be more invasive, and he could be sidelined until around midseason. Gonzales, who turns 33 in February, will be a free agent this offseason after the Pirates decline his $15 million club option for 2025.

Pirates' Marco Gonzales: Goes on 60-day IL
The Pirates placed Gonzales on the 60-day injured list Monday with a left forearm strain, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The Pirates found out earlier in the day that Gonzales would require a trip to the IL, and after reviewing the extent of the injury, the club has elected to shut him down for the rest of the season. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with a 4.54 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 33.2 innings of work. Jake Woodford will move from the bullpen to fill Gonzales' spot in the rotation Monday in San Diego, while Pittsburgh selected the contract of Ryder Ryan from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace Gonzales on the 40-man roster.

Pirates' Marco Gonzales: Headed to IL
Gonzales will be placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left forearm strain, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Gonzales struggled mightily in his last start Wednesday against the Padres, but the team neglected to report any injury news until Monday. It's still too early to know when Gonzales could return to the starting rotation, and Stumpf notes that the team is still gathering more information on the southpaw's injury to determine a rehab plan.

Pirates' Marco Gonzales: Struggles again Wednesday
Gonzales allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings during a no-decision against San Diego on Wednesday.
Gonzales was staked to a 2-0 lead after the first inning but couldn't hold it. He gave up a solo shot to Jackson Merrill in the second frame and a three-run blast to Kyle Higashioka in the fourth, then was pulled with one out in the fifth after surrendering a go-ahead single to Merrill. It was Gonzales' third straight start of fewer than five innings, and he's posted an ugly 8.49 ERA and 2.31 WHIP during that span.

Pirates' Marco Gonzales: Can't get through three frames
Gonzales did not factor into the decision in a loss to Arizona on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks over 2.1 innings while striking out one.
Gonzales didn't have his best stuff Saturday, allowing multiple baserunners in all three innings in which he appeared before being relieved by Dennis Santana. It marked the shortest outing of the season for the lefty, while the four runs he surrendered on the night also marked a season high. Gonzales has failed to make it through five innings in back-to-back starts and carries a meager 9:4 K:BB in July to go along with a 5.25 ERA.
