Gonzalez left Saturday's game against the Red Sox due to soreness in his right knee, Mark Berman of KRIV-TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier reports did not specify the location of the injury, so this provides some clarity. Gonzalez sustained the injury while making a catch against the wall during the third inning.

Gonzalez exited Saturday's game against the Red Sox in the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Specifics regarding the injury remain unclear, but Gonzalez was seen limping after making a catch against the wall in the third inning. He was 1-for-1 with a run-scoring triple prior to exiting the game. Tony Kemp took over for him in left field.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez has yet to find his swing this season and particularly struggled in May with a .202/.253/.292 line with 29 strikeouts in 89 at-bats. J.D. Davis will start in left field for the Astros, where Gonzalez has seen most of his playing time this season.

Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Monday's 5-1 victory against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez has struggled to produce at the plate through 50 games this season, as he's slashing .221/.295/.326 with four home runs and 25 RBI. He's a career .263 hitter, so there's no reason to believe he can't turn his season around in the weeks to come.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like little more than a routine day off for the versatile Gonzalez following four consecutive starts. Gonzalez, who has been seeing most of his action in left field of late, will cede duties at the position to Tony Kemp in the series finale.

Manager A.J. Hinch said he'd like to incorporate Gonzalez into right field, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros are dealing with some injuries in the outfield, forcing Hinch to get creative with his deployment. Tony Kemp (.375/.448/.542) has forced his way into the starting lineup, but is primarily a left fielder, the spot where the super-utility Gonzalez typically plays when in the outfield. That the manager is considering exposing Gonzalez to right field is indicative of his current pecking order in the outfield: George Springer, Kemp, then Gonzalez and Jake Marisnick. "This is more of a comfort alignment than a strategy alignment. But, coming to the ballpark every day, I want Tony to play and that's moving guys around a little more given how much he's getting on base and the quality of defense he's given us," said Hinch.

Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Manager A.J. Hinch wanted to get Gonzalez in the lineup against Cleveland, a team he's hit well against during his career. Entering Thursday's game, Gonzalez produced a .986 OPS over 91 career plate appearances. That includes an 8-for-17 against Friday's scheduled starter Corey Kluber.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez will head to the bench for a breather after starting four of the previous five games. The utility man is hitting a mediocre .225/.304/.338 with four homers this season. J.D. Davis will get the nod in left field in his stead, hitting sixth.

Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez took Cody Allen deep in the ninth inning to bring the Astros within a run, but the comeback ultimately fell short. Still, it was a positive sign for Gonzalez to go deep against a pitcher of that quality considering his recent struggles. He was slashing just .205/.250/.273 over his last 14 games heading into Saturday. Gonzalez has a ways to go to overcome his rocky start to the year and start producing up to his average draft position.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Monday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez is 0-for-21 with six strikeouts over the past six games, so he'll look to clear his head as manager A.J. Hinch sends him to the bench for the second time in three games. In his stead, Tony Kemp is starting in left field and hitting ninth.
