Luis Gonzalez, a left-handed pitcher for the Orioles, has been released after being designated for assignment while injured, preventing him from being placed on waivers. The 33-year-old had been with the Orioles on a minor league deal, showing potential with 28.9% strikeouts in 2023 but facing challenges with injuries. He was added to Baltimore's 40-man as they hoped for his major league debut in 2025. His release could lead to reconnecting with the organization, or exploring opportunities with other teams after clearing waivers.
Gonzalez was just added to Baltimore's 40-man in November, just ahead of his 33rd birthday, which was in January. He had been grinding away for years.
Gonzalez struck out 28.9% of batters faced while limiting walks to a 4.9% clip, showcasing an impressive performance despite the overall earned runs allowed.
