| News: Gonzalez gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks with five strikeouts over 6.2 innings against the Padres on Friday. | Impact: After struggling a number of times in April, Gonzalez has now thrown three straight quality starts here in May and has a 16:6 K:BB over his last 19.2 innings. For the overall, his strikeout rate is slightly down but comparable to last year's, his walks are up and he's giving up a few more home runs. But while he looked like he would struggle the entire season just a few weeks ago, his recent performance is instilling a bit more confidence for his owners right now.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Gonzalez tossed seven scoreless innings Sunday against the Chicago Cubs but the Nationals fell 2-1. | Impact: Gonzalez (3-2, 4.20 ERA) has allowed two runs over his last two outings, covering 13 innings, after giving up 18 in his first four games in April.(STATS, 5:51pm) |

| News: Gonzalez was brilliant in Sunday's series finale with the Cubs. He tossed seven scoreless innings, giving up just two hits and striking out six. He only needed 86 pitches in the effort. | Impact: This was his second strong outing in a row, as he looks to have finally settled into a grove. Gonzalez has been a victim of the long ball this season giving up five in seven starts after allowing only nine in 32 starts last year. However, he looks to be regaining the stellar form that won him 21 games in 2012. The buy-low window for Gonzalez is closing fast and may be long gone after his next start against the Padres.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Gonzalez bounced back Sunday with six innings of two-run ball, during which he yielded five hits and two walks while tallying five strikeouts, in Washington's win at Pittsburgh. | Impact: Gonzalez is coming off a stretch of four starts in which he allowed at least five runs on three occasions. Luckily, his third quality start of the year lowered his ERA below 5.00, as he attempts to replicate an overwhelmingly successful first season with the Nationals. Potential aid arrives next Sunday versus the Cubs, though Gonzalez only carries a 5.74 ERA against them, with 18 strikeouts in 15.2 career innings.(RotoWire, ) |
