Gonzalez is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Gonzalez currently holds a .525 OPS against southpaw pitching this season, so he will retreat to the bench as the Dodgers will begin the game with Andrew Heaney on the mound. Rookie outfielder Bryce Johnson will take Gonzalez's place in right field, batting 9th.

Gonzalez (illness) is starting in right field and batting eighth Monday against San Diego, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was held out of Sunday's series finale against Minnesota while tending to an illness, but he's since received clearance to return. The outfielder has struggled at the dish in the month of August, slashing .133/.231/.156 with one double, three RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored over 14 games.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins while tending to an illness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez is expected to serve as a fourth outfielder during his latest stint with the big club, but he likely would have been in line to start Sunday with left fielder Joc Pederson (groin) day-to-day with an injury. Instead, Gonzalez will wind up joining Pederson on the bench while he's under the weather, resulting in Austin Slater picking up a start alongside LaMonte Wade and Mike Yastrzemski in the outfield.

Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez spent the last week and a half in the minors and went 4-for-17 with three runs, an RBI, five walks and seven strikeouts over five games at Sacramento. However, he'll rejoin the major-league club Saturday, and it's possible that he carves out a role in the short side of a platoon in the outfield after Bryce Johnson was sent down.

Gonzalez will be called up by the Giants on Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was sent to the minors in mid-August, and he went 4-for-17 with three runs, an RBI, five walks and seven strikeouts over five games during his time at Sacramento. The 26-year-old should provide outfield depth and will likely be in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Twins.

Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez had been playing nearly everyday in the outfield for the Giants, but his playing time slipped over the past couple weeks while mired in a 1-for-30 slump. The 26-year-old has a .256/.326/.374 slash line with four home runs, 32 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 78 games this year, and he could return to the majors down the stretch if San Francisco requires outfield depth.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez started the last seven games, but he went just 1-for-24 (.042) over that span, so manager Gabe Kapler decided to give him a mental break.

Gonzalez went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez got aboard on an error and stole second in the sixth inning, but he was left there after LaMonte Wade and Austin Slater struck out. It's been a rough August for Gonzalez, who is hitting just .139 (5-for-36) with three RBI, two runs scored, a steal and a double through 11 contests this month. The prolonged slump has dropped his slash line to .260/.331/.380 with four home runs, 10 steals, 32 RBI and 26 runs scored through 284 plate appearances.
