González won NL rookie of the month in May but a June back injury knocked him off course.
Luis González was an early breakout star this season for the Giants, using his athleticism and professional approach at the plate to earn National League rookie of the month honors in May, but the 27-year-old outfielder struggled to regain that form since a chronic back issue interrupted his season in June.
Manager Gabe Kapler told reporters in Phoenix that it was a difficult decision to shut down González and that, despite his sluggish second half, “he’s really earned the right to be out there.” However, Kapler said, “I just think he was a more explosive, dynamic player going into that injury.”Before landing on the IL on June 21, González was leading the team with a .302 batting average, spraying the ball to all fields with plenty of pop — an .808 OPS.
“It’s been a long year for me in terms of my back and my shoulder,” González said in an interview last week. “ kind of got out of my rhythm a little bit.”
