Gonzalez went 4-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 11-3 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez's breakout year continues deep into September. Just when it looked like it would come to end in August, when he hit a meager .221, he's bounced back to hit .364 in 18 September games.

Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez's long ball was one of four launched by Houston in this one. His 30 doubles and 22 home runs are both career bests, so it's not surprising that Gonzalez's .521 slugging percentage blows his career .415 mark out of the water. The switch-hitter's versatility both at the plate and in the field allows him to stay in the lineup in all situations.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

He will now have started 11 of 16 games this month, hitting .293/.356/.439 over that stretch. Gonzalez figures to continue to see semi-regular starts this month, especially after Jake Marisnick suffered a season-ending thumb injury. Derek Fisher is starting in left field and hitting ninth.

Gonzalez started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

While the super-utilitarian Gonzalez is never far from the Astros' starting lineup, he will have a more settled role after Houston lost Jake Marisnick to a season-ending thumb injury. Gonzalez, whose provided more value this season than merely position versatility, has been sputtering the last month, hitting .192 (15-for-78) over 21 games leading up to Thursday's win.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez is hitting just .237 against left-handed pitching this season -- compared to his .313 mark against righties -- so he'll head to the bench with a southpaw (Tyler Skaggs) toeing the rubber for the opposition. In his place, Cameron Maybin will start in left field, batting seventh.

Gonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 6-2 win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez had been given a day off Sunday after playing both ends of Saturday's doubleheader. With Carlos Correa back in the action, there's one less spot for Gonzalez, but with Carlos Beltran (back) nursing an injury, manager A.J. Hinch can strategically use the DH spot to find at-bats for Gonzalez. For example, on Monday, Yulieski Gurriel filled in at designated hitter while Gonzalez manned first.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

With Carlos Correa (hand) coming off the disabled list to start at shortstop Sunday, Gonzalez will be granted a day off after playing in both halves of Saturday's doubleheader, going 4-for-9 with two doubles, two runs and three RBI. Correa and Alex Bregman should settle in as the Astros' primary players on the left side of the infield over the final month of the season, but since Gonzalez has been one of the team's top offensive producers this season, he's at little risk of losing out on everyday at-bats. Instead, expect Gonzalez to see more of his duties in the corner outfield or at first base in the coming weeks.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez has started nine straight games for the Astros, going just 5-for-35 (.143 batting average) over that span, so he'll get the day off to gather himself. The Astros will send out an outfield consisting of George Springer, Josh Reddick and Jake Marisnick in his absence.

Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez still maintains strong numbers, but he's hit the skids of late, going 4-for-22 (.182) over the previous six games. His .779 OPS for the month of August is the first month he's been below .800. He's overcome down stretches all year, so there's no reason to believe his breakout season is coming to end, but the notion that Gonzalez's success may not last is certainly something to consider.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros will make room for prospect J.D. Davis on the left side of the infield with Alex Bregman, so Gonzalez will be the odd man out for the day game after the night game following eight consecutive starts. Gonzalez has turned in two-hit efforts in six of his last nine contests, which should enable him to hold down a regular starting spot as either an infielder or outfielder, depending on the team's lineup configuration on any given day.
