Gonzalez went 3-for-3 with a home run, two runs and four RBI in Tuesday's Grapefruit League win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez kicked off the scoring for the Yankees in the second inning with a three-run homer off Aaron Nola. The long ball was his third of the spring, and he leads the team with nine RBI while slashing .545/.583/1.364. Gonzalez was signed to a minor-league contract March 20 and is in camp as a non-roster invitee, but he has a good chance of making the Opening Day roster given his excellent exhibition performance and long-established versatility.

Gonzalez signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Sunday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez will join New York for spring training and attempt to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster. He appeared in 91 games between the Red Sox and Astros last year and hit .199/.275/.304 with five home runs, 30 runs and 28 RBI in 307 plate appearances.

Gonzalez was included on the Astros' World Series roster, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez wasn't on the roster for the first two rounds of the playoffs, but he's needed for the World Series with Jake Meyers out with a shoulder injury. The veteran utility man has had some notable playoff moments in the past for the Astros but is a lifetime .230/.304/.372 hitter in 35 postseason contests and hit just .199/.75/.304 in the regular season this year.

Gonzalez isn't on the Astros' ALDS roster, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez spent the final month of the season on the major-league roster, but he won't serve as depth to begin the ALDS. However, he'll be on the taxi squad and will be available as an emergency fill-in if needed.

Gonzalez started at second base for a resting Jose Altuve and went 2-for-5 with a home run, five RBI and a second run scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez capped off the win with a ninth-inning grand slam. Three of his four hits since joining Houston's big-league roster two weeks ago have left the yard. Gonzalez is 4-for-21 over seven games.

Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's victory over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez went deep to right field in the second inning to extend Houston's lead to 3-0. It was Gonzalez's second homer in four games since joining the Astros, although those are his only two hits in 10 at-bats during that stretch. He's hitting just .202 with a .587 OPS in 282 plate appearances between Boston and Houston this season.

Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

In his first start since rejoining the Astros after his release from the Red Sox in August, Gonzalez delivered a go-ahead two-run home run in the second inning. The utility man had all of two homers in 77 contests with Boston. He's now slashing .202/.280/.296 with 22 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases across 276 plate appearances. Expect the 32-year-old to fill in around the diamond as necessary, but he's unlikely to capture a full-time role at any position.

The Astros selected Gonzalez from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez went 2-for-7 with a double in his two games with Sugar Land, and now he joins the Astros as depth across the infield and outfield. The veteran was hapless offensively for the Red Sox this season, hitting .202/.281/.285 in 271 plate appearances, so he doesn't figure to get frequent starting opportunities with Houston.

Gonzalez began playing in games with the Gulf Coast Astros on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez reported to the Astros' spring training facility after inking a minor-league deal last Friday. The veteran utility man is playing in his first game with the rookie-level Gulf Coast Astros on Tuesday, and it seems likely that he'll move up to Triple-A Sugar Land after he gets a few contests under his belt. Gonzalez could be a candidate to receive a major-league call-up at some point in September, but he'll need to show the Astros that he's capable of improving on the .202/285/.566 slash line that he posted across 271 plate appearances with Boston earlier this season.

Gonzalez signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez was released by Boston on Aug. 16 after slashing an underwhelming .202/.281/.285 across 271 plate appearances. The veteran utility man will return to the organization that he played his first seven big-league seasons with, though it's to be seen if he'll crack the 26-man roster down the stretch. Gonzalez will report to the Astros' spring training facility in West Palm Beach before likely being assigned to Triple-A Sugar Land in the coming days.
