Jacob Gonzalez Emerging as a Priority Waiver-Wire Target After Hot Start
Since making his MLB debut on May 31, Chicago White Sox infielder Jacob Gonzalez has hit .300/.391/.450 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs scored across 23 plate appearances. With White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) currently on the injured list, Gonzalez has logged everyday playing time at first base since his promotion. The 22-year-old's strong start in the Majors is backed up by his work at Triple-A this season, where he slashed .317/.419/.668 with 19 home runs, 62 RBI, 42 runs scored, and eight stolen bases in just 238 plate appearances. Gonzalez also has the ability to play multiple infield positions, so he could stick in the Chicago lineup even once Murakami returns. Gonzalez profiles as a high-upside waiver wire target who should be prioritized by fantasy managers across all league formats.
