Good morning, baseball fans.
I wish I had better news for you today, but unfortunately it looks like Luis González will miss roughly half of the 2023 season.
González, who was drafted by the Chicago White Sox, signed as a free agent with the San Francisco Giants in December of 2021, after having been selected off of waivers in August. He made his first appearance for the Giants in late April of last season, appearing in 98 games and batting .254/.322/.360 with four home runs and 36 RBI in the 2022 season.
What was a promising rookie season for the young outfielder, however, also showed the early signs of a recurring back injury, causing him to miss time on the injury list twice, before ending the season early with the same injury.
