Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Romy González, Boston Red Sox utility player, has missed the entire 2026 season due to shoulder surgery performed in March 2025. However, recent reports indicate positive recovery progress. González threw for the first time since surgery in early May and is expected to swing a bat the following week, with an anticipated return date around June 12, 2026. Prior to injury, González posted a career year in 2025 with a .305/.343/.483 slash line, .826 OPS, 9 home runs, 53 RBIs, 6 stolen bases, 23 doubles, and 47 runs scored in 96 games. He was a 2.0-WAR player and valuable utility infielder. The Red Sox offense has struggled in his absence, with replacement players underperforming significantly.
