Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Romy González, Boston Red Sox utility infielder, underwent left shoulder surgery in March 2026 and has missed the entire 2026 season to date. However, he is making steady progress in his rehabilitation. As of mid-May 2026, González threw for the first time since surgery and is expected to swing a bat within days. He is on track to return around June 12, 2026 (approximately three months post-surgery). González had an outstanding 2025 season, slashing .305/.343/.483 with an .826 OPS, 9 home runs, 53 RBIs, 6 stolen bases, and 2.0 WAR in 96 games. He is a noted lefty killer and provides valuable depth across the infield. The Red Sox offense has struggled without him, with replacement players underperforming significantly.
