Faces Potential Shoulder Surgery After Offseason Inflammation

Romy Gonzalez will undergo an evaluation on Tuesday to determine if surgery is required for his injured left shoulder. The 29-year-old utility man has been sidelined for most of the spring due to persistent inflammation and was already considered a longshot for the Opening Day roster. If Gonzalez faces an extended absence, the Red Sox may look to Kristian Campbell, Nate Eaton, or Andruw Monasterio to fill the void on the active roster for the start of the 2026 regular season.
