Shoulder ailments have derailed Marco Gonzales' 2015 season, so he'll focus on the future instead.
Despite the St. Louis Cardinals' hopes that he'd be a bullpen option at some point this season, left-hander Marco Gonzales' 2015 ended this past weekend.
The pitcher, who impressed out of the bullpen during the 2014 postseason, dealt with shoulder issues that resulted in his being shut down two times and limiting his minor-league workload this season to just over 80 innings.
The Cards could have tried to use Gonzales as a September call-up, but they decided to let him go back home and focus on spring training now that the Triple-A season is over.
