Carlos Gonzalez (hamstring) is not in the the Rockies starting lineup on Friday, and is likely out until at least Sunday.
CarGo originally strained his left hamstring on Sunday, then aggravated it during Thursday's contest. With nothing to play for, it's unlikely that the Rockies will rush him back before he's ready.

Carlos Gonzalez was a late scratch from the Rockies' lineup Tuesday after his left hamstring still felt sore during a pre-game run.
"It did not go well," CarGo said of the running. "Still not close to 100 percent. I will test it again tomorrow." It certainly sounds possible that Gonzalez will be sidelined for a few more days. Owners should have a back-up plan in place.
