Gonzalez (hand), who is not in Tuesday's lineup, does not expect to start the next two games, but could be available off the bench, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has ordered a protective pad for his hand contusion to help protect against further swelling. Don't look for him to be back in the lineup until Friday at the earliest. The Astros are more than capable of making up for his absence, but he should return to pushing Yulieski Gurriel and Norichika Aoki for playing time once he is fully healthy.
