Jacob Gonzalez Remains a Power Bat to Target on the Waiver Wire
Chicago White Sox infielder Jacob Gonzalez got off to a hot start to his MLB career after making his debut on May 31, posting an .841 OPS across his first 23 plate appearances. However, the 24-year-old has struggled of late and is currently mired in a 0-19 skid at the plate. Across 47 plate appearances overall, Gonzalez is hitting .195/.298/.268 with one home run, five RBI, three runs scored, and a 29.8% strikeout rate. Still, Gonzalez got off to a ridiculous start to the 2026 season at Triple-A, hitting .319 with 19 home runs, 62 RBI, 42 runs scored, and eight stolen bases across 238 plate appearances. He also appears likely to have an extended runway to prove himself at the big-league level with White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) currently on the injured list with a hamstring injury. Despite the current skid, Gonzalez could still be worth targeting on the waiver wire for his power upside.
