Marwin Gonzalez

Marwin Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a two-run hike run in New York’s 7-6 extra-inning win in Boston on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Gonzalez’s two-run blast in the 3rd inning tied the game at 2-2 and he now was two home runs in September after none in July or August. Gonzalez is slashing .194/.267/.335 with five home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, and three stolen bases this season. Gonzalez will head back to the bench once Anthony Rizzo or DJ LeMahieu return to the lineup which is on the horizon.

Marwin Gonzalez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in New York’s 5-2 win against the Twins on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Gonzalez started at first base Monday with Anthony Rizzo having received an epidural to address his back issues. Gonzalez hit his first home run since June 28 against the Athletics. Gonzalez is slashing .205/.279/.348 with four home runs, 12 RBI, and 13 runs scored in 132 at-bats this season. Gonzalez only has 15 at-bats since the beginning of August so he is best used for DFS lineups as a low-cost flier on days he starts.

Marwin Gonzalez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in New York’s 2-1 victory over Oakland on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Gonzalez hit his third home run of the season on Tuesday and enjoyed back to back 2-hit games. The homer was his second in his last four starts and third of June. Gonzalez is 13-for-38 (.342) for the month and has 26 totals bases across 18 appearances (10 starts). Gonzalez appears to finally be acclimated to his new squad and gives the Major League-leading Yankees even more depth as they continue to roll.

Marwin Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a home run, a doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored in New York’s 5-4 loss in Tampa on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Marwin Gonzalez started Tuesday for the resting Aaron Judge and made his fourth straight start for the Yankees. Gonzalez is 5-for-15 (.333) in those four starts. The home run was Gonzalez’ second of the season and second in three games as well. Gonzalez had made his two previous starts at shortstop for the ailing Isiah Kiner-Falefa so even once Judge returns Wednesday, Gonzalez could be in line for more starts in the short term making him an intriguing flier in DFS lineups. He also carries extreme roster versatility as he is eligible to play at 2B, 3B, SS, and OF making him nearly impossible not to find a spot for if you want to play him.

Marwin Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a home run in New York’s 10-9 loss in Toronto on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Gonzalez hit his first home run of the season on Sunday and his first as a Yankee. Gonzalez only has 74 at-bats this season in 35 games and only has 21 at-bats in June with eight of those coming in a double header all the way back on June 2. New York’s continues to get healthy and with the resurgence of Gleyber Torres, there is not a lot of extra at-bats in a crowded Yankee infield. Barring an injury that gets Gonzalez more regular at-bats, he does not carry much fantasy relevance outside of some DFS lineups at the moment.
