Adrian Gonzalez

Dodgers' Adrian Gonzalez (back) to be activated this weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is to be activated sometime this weekend, according to the Los Angeles Times' Bill Shaikin.

What It Means:

The 35-year-old Gonzalez has been out since June 12th with a herniated disc in his back. He's only recently gone through a rehab assignment, with which he's produced a .182/.154/.318 slash in seven games. Don't expect Gonzalez to start more than a handful of games down the stretch with Cody Bellinger hitting the way he has this season.

numberFire's algorithms project Gonzalez for 1 home run, 3 doubles and 8 RBI across 77 plate appearances the remainder of the season.
