Cody's return remains a mystery.
Asked about Cody Ross' timetable for a return, Gonzalez said: "That's almost the biggest loss."
Out with a hamstring injury, Ross isn't expected back until after the All-Star break. Gonzalez said he thought the center-field platoon of Ross and Amezaga was working well.
Ross, who has not played since May 5, was batting .302 (16 for 53) with a .642 slugging percentage when he was hurt.
It may be after the All-Star break, well after.
I remember reading something a few days ago that he suffered a setback while rehabbing. And then there is this small little detail, he hasn't even begun trying to get his swing back in a minor league rehab assignment. I wouldn't be looking for him to rejoin the club anytime soon.
