Miguel Gonzalez was diagnosed with a Grade 1 groin sprain, an injury that forced from Sunday's start against the Blue Jays after just 5 1/3 innings.

Gonzalez noted after the game that it's the first time he's ever dealt with a groin injury of any type, and remained optimistic that he'd be able to make his next turn in the rotation.
