MIAMI (AP) — The Pirates placed second baseman Nick Gonzales on the 10-day injured list with a “non-displaced fracture of the left ankle,” Pittsburgh manager Derek Shelton said Friday.

Gonzales was originally injured in spring training when he fouled a ball off his ankle.

He hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning of Thursday night's season-opening 5-4 loss to the Miami Marlins and hobbled around the bases.
