Gonzalez is not starting Tuesday against Toronto, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old has done enough to keep his job through his first 30 games with the Mets, though he's certainly not setting the world on fire, hitting .250/.327/.427 with five homers. Wilmer Flores will slide over to first base in his absence, with Jose Reyes getting a start at third.

Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a third run scored in Monday's win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
He's already surpassed last season's homer total with five, and Gonzalez's .256/.330/.463 slash line through 26 games has been respectable. The veteran will continue to sit against most left-handed pitchers, but his role should allow him to supply solid fantasy production.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez typically sits against left-handed pitching, and Sunday's matchup against southpaw Kyle Freeland will be no exception. Wilmer Flores will man first base and bat fifth in the order in his stead.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup against Colorado on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez will head back to the bench for the second time in the past three games after going 1-for-4 during Thursday's loss to the Braves. In his place, Jay Bruce will pick up a start at first while Brandon Nimmo gets the nod in right field.

Gonzalez went 3-for-6 with a home run, double and five RBI in the Mets' 14-2 triumph over the Padres on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez picked a good time to post season-high hit and RBI totals with the Mets having recently warmed up to the idea of using outfielder Jay Bruce at first base at least occasionally, according to Tim Healey of Newsday. While his showing Sunday bumped his OPS nearly 100 points and should temporarily quell any discussions of a changing of the guard at first base, Gonzalez will still need to deliver extra-base hits on a consistent basis over his next several starts in order to build job security. With a .227 average, three home runs, 17 RBI and seven runs across 77 plate appearances this season, Gonzalez ranks as one of the weaker fantasy performers among everyday first basemen.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for the second straight day Saturday against the Padres, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez has sat against every lefty the Mets have faced so far this season and will do so again against Joey Lucchesi on Saturday. The veteran is hitting just .203/.300/.322 so far this season, though his platoon partner Wilmer Flores is hardly making a claim for a bigger role, as he's hitting just .213/.288/.383 himself.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup Friday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
As is typically the case, Gonzalez will retreat to the bench with a southpaw taking the mound for San Diego. Wilmer Flores will replace him at first base once more.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup Friday against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez is looking relatively good at the plate so far, but he'll head to the bench to avoid a lefty-on-lefty matchup with Braves' starter Sean Newcomb. Wilmer Flores will pick up a start at first base in his place.

Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran first baseman is having a solid start to his Mets tenure, slashing .256/.353/.419 with two homers and 11 RBI through 15 games and looking more like his pre-2017 self. Gonzalez's 7:7 BB:K and .257 BABIP suggest there could even be some positive regression ahead for his batting average, but he'll need to stay healthy to remain any kind of fantasy asset.
