Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Romy Gonzalez is a Boston Red Sox utility infielder who missed the entire 2026 season due to shoulder surgery in March. He had an outstanding 2025 season, slashing .305/.343/.483 with a .826 OPS, 9 home runs, 53 RBIs, and 6 stolen bases in 96 games. Recent reports indicate he threw for the first time since surgery and is expected to swing a bat next week, with a projected return around June 12.
