Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
Gonzalez will head to the bench while the White Sox go with Miguel Vargas and Colson Montgomery as their starters in the corner infield Monday. Since being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on May 30, the left-handed-hitting Gonzalez has mostly been spared from matchups with left-handed pitching but has still struggled to a .167/.273/.229 slash line over 55 plate appearances. Gonzalez will likely be headed back to Charlotte once Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) is ready to return from the injured list.

White Sox's Jacob Gonzalez: First RBI of career
Rotowire
Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a walk Wednesday against the Twins.
Gonzalez drew his fourth straight start at first base in the absence of Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) and collected his first career RBI with a two-run single in the first inning. Gonzalez now has at least one hit in three of his first four appearances in the majors. Prior to his promotion, the 23-year-old blasted 18 home runs across 238 plate appearances with Triple-A Charlotte, though he had little track record of power throughout the rest of his minor-league career.

White Sox's Jacob Gonzalez: Drawing fourth straight start
Rotowire
Gonzalez will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Gonzalez was left out of the starting nine for the White Sox's first game following his call-up from Triple-A Charlotte last Saturday, but manager Will Venable has since included the 24-year-old in the lineup in each of the ensuing four games. Through his first three starts, Gonzalez has gone 2-for-10 with a 1:6 BB:K. He looks like he'll be given an extended trial as the White Sox's everyday first baseman while star rookie Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) is on the shelf for at least the next four weeks.

White Sox's Jacob Gonzalez: Contract selected
Rotowire
The White Sox selected Gonzalez's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
Gonzalez will provide the White Sox with extra infield depth and a power bat to help make up for the loss of Munetaka Murakami, who landed on the injured list Saturday with a hamstring strain. Gonzalez has experience fielding all four infield positions -- primarily second base and shortstop -- which could help him crack the starting nine somewhat regularly while he's in the big leagues. Jordan Leasure (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

White Sox's Jacob Gonzalez: Joining big club
Rotowire
The White Sox are expected to select Gonzalez's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
With Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) headed toward a multi-week stay on the injured list, the White Sox will call up another young slugger in Gonzalez. After struggling at the plate throughout most of his minor-league career, the 23-year-old has put the pieces together this season while slashing .292/.401/.610 with 17 homers, 55 RBI, 39 runs and seven steals through 51 games at Charlotte. He operates primarily as a middle infielder but has experience at the corners as well, which will give the White Sox some extra lineup flexibility while they attempt to replace their most productive bat.
