Romy Gonzalez was removed from Triple-A Worcester’s game on Tuesday in the fourth inning.

There is some speculation that Gonzalez was removed for an impending call-up. Since being sent to Triple-A on August 4th, Gonzalez has gone 30-for-79 (.380) with three home runs, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored, and a 15/8 K/BB ratio. The Red Sox were forced to rush him back from shoulder surgery quickly in July due to injuries on the big league club, but it seems like the 30-year-old just needed some more time to get his timing back. He could be an option for the Red Sox instead of Andruw Monasterio, who has been struggling of late.
