Rockies Stephen Gonsalves Agree To Minor League Deal
The Rockies are in agreement with on a minor league contract, per the at MLB.com. The southpaw is headed to Triple-A Albuquerque. Gonsalves, 29, began this season in the Dodgers system. He inked a non-roster deal with L.A. in January. The Dodgers a signed him to Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he struggled over 18 innings of relief. Gonsalves allowed 12 runs on 14 hits and an alarming 20 walks. The Dodgers briefly a signed him back to their Arizona complex before releasing him last week. A former fourth-round draftee of Parker Meadows Jersey the Twins, the San Diego native was once a reasonably highly-regarded prospect. Gonsalves didnt carry over his dominant low minors production once he reached Triple-A, though. He owns a 4.23 earned run average in parts of seven Triple-A campaigns. His 27.1% strikeout percentage is above average, but hes walked nearly 16% of his opponents. Gonsalves hasnt gotten much of a major league look as a result. He has pitched in 10 MLB games, logging a 6.21 ERA through 29 innings. Gonsalves has starting experience, though hes worked out of the bullpen since 2022. Hell presumably step into long relief for Albuquerque. The Rox have cycled through a few bullpen arms in recent days and evidently needed to backfill some of their lost upper minors depth.
