Red Sox Injury Update: Romy González Nears Return
8 Jun
Summary
- Romy González is swinging at 100% after shoulder surgery.
- A minor league rehab assignment is the next step for González.
- González posted strong offensive numbers last season for Boston.
Boston Red Sox utility player Romy González is making positive strides in his recovery from shoulder surgery performed in March. Interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed that González has progressed to swinging at "100 percent" with a one-handed finish, indicating he is nearing a potential minor league rehabilitation assignment.
While not an immediate return, González's progress is a welcome sign for a Red Sox team seeking offensive help. After his rehab assignment begins, a 20-day period will commence, during which the club must decide on his reintegration to the major league roster. Last season, González demonstrated his value by playing in 96 games, batting .305 with an .826 OPS and nine home runs.
