Gonzalez is in the Astros' lineup Tuesday, batting ninth and playing first base, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The utility man holds a stellar 1.120 OPS against Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma in his career, so he'll get the start at first base instead of Yulieski Gurriel. Gonzalez isn't in line to get everyday playing time, but his versatility should put him in line to log at-bats in a few games per week.
