EDGE Analysis

That explains Gonzalez's absence from Friday's lineup against the Dodgers. At age 31, there's no shame in needing an off-day to recover from the bumps and bruises of a major league season. Don't expect Gonzalez to be out for long, especially given the pivotal nature of this weekend's series against division rival Los Angeles.
