Newsbreakers
July 7, 2008
Alex Gonzalez underwent surgery on Monday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, according to the AP. The one-hour operation was performed by Reds medical director Dr. Timothy Kremchek, and the club is hopeful that Gonzalez will be ready for the start of training camp in 2009.

Our View:Alex Gonzalez did not make an appearance with the Reds in 2008, and the club will be fine at shortstop with Jeff Keppinger and Jerry Hairston Jr.
July 2, 2008
Alex Gonzalez will undergo surgery on Monday to correct the compression fracture in his left knee, and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Our View:Alex Gonzalez did not make an appearance with the Reds in 2008, and the club is fine at shortstop with Jeff Keppinger and Jerry Hairston Jr.
June 6, 2008
Alex Gonzalez, coming back from a fractured knee, has been running for a week now but but had to dial it back a little, according to MLB.com. "Hitting and fielding feels good -- the problem is the running," said Gonzalez. "I still feel something there. I'm running 70-75 percent, but that's good."

Our View:A rehab assignment has not been scheduled for Gonzalez yet. He says the decision when to start one has been left up to him.
May 28, 2008
The Reds shifted Alex Gonzalez to the 60-day DL on Wednesday, the Cincinnati Enquirer confirms. He has been out all season due to a compression fracture in his left knee.

Our View:This news means nothing for Gonzalez's timetable, as he is already nearing the 60-day timeframe. The Reds do not know when Gonzalez will be able to return.
May 8, 2008
Alex Gonzalez is progressing slowly from his compression fracture in his left knee, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Manager Dusty Baker said, "He hit and took some groundballs. He's not moving too good."

Our View:He may not be able to return this month and Jeff Keppinger will continue to cover his spot at shortstop.
April 14, 2008
Alex Gonzalez received bad news on Monday when an MRI revealed that he still has a compression fracture in his left knee, MLB.com reports. He has been out since early in spring training and won't be cleared to run for another two-to-four weeks.

Our View:On the flip side of the coin, this news bodes well for fantasy owners employing Jeff Keppinger. The backup, utility infielder should continue to start at shortstop while Gonzalez remains out.
April 2, 2008
Alex Gonzalez was able to take batting practice on Wednesday while wearing a brace on his injured left knee, this according to MLB.com. "I've come along pretty good," said Gonzalez. "I feel just a little bit of pain. It's almost gone. I'm doing a lot of stuff with my leg to get it stronger. Maybe next week I'll start jogging a little bit." Jeff Keppinger will continue to man the shortstop position until Gonzalez returns to action though there is no timetable set on that front as of this writing.
March 31, 2008
Alex Gonzalez was put on the 15-day disabled list on Monday due to a left knee injury. The move is retroactive to March 21, this according to the Sports Network. Backup Jeff Keppinger will start at shortstop until Gonzalez is healthy enough to return.
March 22, 2008
Alex Gonzalez has been cleared to begin baseball activity as the Reds approach opening day. The veteran shortstop is taking batting practice in the cage but is still a few days away from taking live hitting, this according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. The Reds middle infielder is likely to begin the season on the disabled list. Gonzalez has been out since early March with a compression fracture in his left knee.
February 29, 2008
Alex Gonzalez has been diagnosed with a compression fracture in his left knee, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. He'll be shut down and re-evaluated in three weeks. That means it's unlikely he'll be ready for the start of the regular season. It was originally believed he just had a bone bruise, but clearly a recent test changed the diagnosis.
February 26, 2008
Alex Gonzalez is expected to miss at least the next four days due to a bone bruise in his left knee, according to the Springfield News-Sun. An MRI came back negative. "We're going to sit him a couple of days," said manager Dusty Baker. "Wait until he sees Dr. Kremchek. It's similar to something that happened to him last year. Better to find out now than later. He is hurting a little bit, something that comes and goes." He failed to start a game after Sept. 12 last season due a bone bruise in the same area, so this clearly is something to follow closely.
