MEXICO CITY —
Gonzalez got jammed on an inside pitch. The ball ricocheted off the handle of his bat directly up into his face, knocking off his helmet. He was sitting upright as he was driven off the field in a cart.
The outfielder was part of New York’s split squad playing a two-game series across the border at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced earlier Monday that Gonzalez, 26, was reassigned to the minors. Gonzalez spent last season with the Cleveland Guardians, hitting .214 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in 54 games.
Information from Field Level Media and the Associated Press was used in this report.
