| Player Notes |
| September 18, 2007 Alex Gonzalez, nursing a left knee injury, was still too sore to start Monday. He was available to pinch hit, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. |
| September 14, 2007 An MRI on Alex Gonzalez's left knee showed a bone bruise. He left Wednesday's game with the injury and was out of the lineup Thursday. The Reds consider him day-to-day, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. |
| September 10, 2007 Alex Gonzalez sat out of Sunday's game after fouling two balls off his left shin the night before. "Have you seen his leg? It's all nasty looking," manager Pete Mackanin said, according to the Cincinnati Post. "It's eight different colors. It's not pretty." Although it sounds ugly, the Reds hope that Gonzalez will be available for their next series, which begins Tuesday. |
| September 8, 2007 Alex Gonzalez left Saturday's game after six innings with a left shin injury, according to the AP. He suffered the injury while fouling a ball off of his leg. It's unclear if he'll be forced to miss any more time with the injury. |
| August 27, 2007 Alex Gonzalez could start a game this week for the first time since coming off the bereavement list. "He's going to let me know Tuesday if he's ready to play," Reds interim manager Pete Mackanin told the Cincinnati Post. "I was hoping to play him today but he doesn't think his arm is quite ready. By Tuesday his arm should be ready. We'll look at it Tuesday." Gonzalez was on the bereavement list for a week while tending to his ill son and is working his way back into game shape. |
| August 23, 2007 Alex Gonzalez won't play for two or three days while getting back into baseball shape after spending a week on the bereavement list, manager Pete Mackanin told the AP. Gonzalez had been on the bereavement list since Aug. 15 while tending to his son, who is suffering from an undisclosed illness in Miami. He's been on the bereavement list three times this season. There's another variable here - Jeff Keppinger has been sizzling as the temporary shortstop, on a 27-for-60 tear this month. We'll see how the Reds opt to play it. |
| August 20, 2007 Alex Gonzalez is only allowed to stay on the bereavement list through Tuesday. Reds interim manager Pete Mackanin said he hasn't heard from Gonzalez recently, according to the Cincinnati Post. Gonzalez is with his 10-month old son, who is ill, and has no date scheduled for his return to the Reds. If he's out beyond Tuesday, the club will have to move him to the restricted list. |
| August 15, 2007 The Reds placed Alex Gonzalez on the bereavement list Wednesday so that he could stay at home with his ill 10-month old son, according to the AP. This is the third time he's been on the bereavement list this season. There is no timetable for his return. |
| August 15, 2007 Alex Gonzalez wasn't with the team for the start of a series against the Cubs in Chicago, remaining at home with his 10-month-old son Johan, who is ill, the AP reports. Gonzalez has twice been on the bereavement list this season. "We don't know what we'll do yet. It's kind of a touchy situation," interim manager Pete Mackanin said. "It's got to be difficult for him to play under the circumstances." Jeff Keppinger started at short for the Reds. |
| July 31, 2007 The Reds activated Alex Gonzalez from the bereavement list Tuesday, according to the AP. Gonzalez, who is hitting .251 with 13 homers on the year, will go back to handling the everyday duties at shortstop. |
| July 28, 2007 It remains unclear when Alex Gonzalez will be activated from the restricted list. Although he rejoined the team early this week, he's not allowed to work out with the team, since he's on the RL, according to the Cincinnati Post. "I have no idea [when Gonzalez will play] and until someone comes up and tells me, I'm not going to worry about it," interim manager Pete Mackanin said. "Certainly I'd love to have him at shortstop, but if there's nothing you can do, I'm not going to worry about it. I'm just praying for his family and hope that everything works out for the best." Gonzalez's wife is ill, so the Reds are just going to have to wait until Gonzalez feels it's time to get back on the field. |
| July 25, 2007 Alex Gonzalez (restricted list) worked out at the ballpark Tuesday but wasn't activated, the AP reports. "He's not ready to play," interim manager Pete Mackanin said. "Were in a holding pattern. His wife's still in the hospital, but he might be ready to go on Friday. Everything's up in the air." |
| July 22, 2007 Alex Gonzalez was transferred to the restricted list Saturday, the AP reports. Gonzalez has been on the bereavement list since July 14 due to an illness in his family; he missed four games from April 13-16 for the same issue. Nonetheless, he might be back with the Reds Monday. |
| July 17, 2007 The Reds expect Alex Gonzalez to return to the lineup on Thursday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Gonzalez is on the bereavement list and is tending to his sick son, Johan. |
| July 16, 2007 The Reds are expected to take Alex Gonzalez off of the bereavement list prior to Tuesday's game. They left his roster spot open for Bobby Livingston to start Monday's game, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. They'll send Livingston back to the minors Tuesday and reinstate Gonzalez, who left the team to tend to his ill son. |
| July 15, 2007 Alex Gonzalez was a late scratch from Saturday's game after he learned his 10-month-old son was ill, the Reds official site reports. Gonzalez subsequently was placed on the bereavement list, the second time this year he's had to leave the team because of his son's health. Pedro Lopez got his first start for Gonzalez Saturday, and will likely continue to play while Gonzalez is away. |
| July 14, 2007 Alex Gonzalez was placed on the bereavement list just before Saturdays game against the Mets. MLB.com reports hes left the team to attend to his ill 10-month son. Pedro Lopez replaced Gonzalez in the lineup Saturday and will be the regular shortstop in Cincinnati until Alex returns. |
| June 18, 2007 Alex Gonzalez was held out of the starting lineup Sunday due to his troublesome hamstring. He entered the game in the fourth inning to replace Brandon Phillips, who had been hit by a pitch, according to the Cincinnati Post. "I don't know, it's probably something that's going to take more than a day off (to cure), it'll probably take three or four days off," manager Jerry Narron said. "We'll go day-to-day with him." Gonzalez missed three games earlier this month due to the same injury, so obviously the Reds will be cautious with his return. |
| June 8, 2007 Alex Gonzalez (hamstring) was not in the lineup for the third straight game Thursday, the AP reports. He remains listed as day-to-day. |
| June 7, 2007 Alex Gonzalez (hamstring) was held out of the lineup for the second straight game Wednesday. He was able to pinch-hit Tuesday night, for what it's worth. |
| June 3, 2007 Alex Gonzalez left Sunday's game in the fifth inning with a strained hamstring. He is considered day-to-day, according to the AP. |
| April 24, 2007 Alex Gonzalez tied his career highs with two homers and five RBI against the Cardinals Tuesday night. He entered the game with no homers and four RBI in 54 at-bats this season. |
| April 17, 2007 Alex Gonzalez returned to the Reds on Tuesday and was reinstated off the bereavement list, according to the AP. Gonzalez left for Venezuela last Thursday because his infant son was ill. |
| April 17, 2007 The Reds expect Alex Gonzalez to rejoin the team today, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Gonzalez has been on the bereavement list since Thursday when he traveled to Miami to be with his ailing 7-month-old son Johan. |
| April 16, 2007 It's possible that Alex Gonzalez could rejoin the Reds today, but nothing is certain, as his 7-month-old son, Johan, is ill, according to the Cincinnati Post. "Hopefully he'll be back (today)," manager Jerry Narron said. "(Johan's) definitely going to have to have surgery at some point, but when, where and how, I don't know. Right now, we're just hoping he gets back this week. It's got to be very, very difficult for him." |
| April 15, 2007 The Reds might get Alex Gonzalez back from the bereavement list on Monday, though nothing is certain, as he is with his ill son in Venezuela, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Right now, Alex is hoping to be back on Monday," said manager Jerry Narron. "But we'll see. It's going to be day-to-day. We're hoping. He's hoping." |
| April 12, 2007 The Reds have placed Alex Gonzalez on the bereavement list, according to the AP. Gonzalez left the team to attend to a family matter in Venezuela. He is expected to miss several games and can stay on the list for up to a week. Juan Castro should fill in at shortstop while Gonzalez is out. |
