Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Just this week, Gonzalez reached the minimum number of plate appearances to qualify for league leader lists. After Thursday's two-hit performance, he's hitting .312, tying him for fourth in the American League and 14th in all of baseball. He'll continue to get a steady stream of plate appearances over the next month while Carlos Correa (thumb) remains sidelined.

Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 16-7 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
The home run was Gonzalez's 20th bomb of the season, just the latest in a series of benchmarks for a player that's experiencing a breakout campaign in 2017. Gonzalez continues to rake in the second half, having hit .319 (23-for-72) with four homers, seven doubles and 12 RBI over 19 games since the All-Star break.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Monday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After his 11-game hit streak came to an end Sunday with an 0-for-4 effort, Gonzalez will retreat to the bench for the first time since late June. It should be viewed as little more than a rest day for the valuable utility man, whose .972 OPS has made him a fantasy superstar for those fortunate enough to nab him on the cheap in drafts and auctions or on the waiver wire this season.

Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez has hit safely in 10 straight games and reached base safely in 31 consecutive. His numbers in 2017 are off the charts relative to his career statistics, which suggests an impending fall off, but Gonzalez shows no signs of regression. The man with a career slash line of .257/.298/.389/.687 from 2012 to 2016 is hitting .320/.400/.588/.988 over 84 games in 2017.

Gonzalez went 2-for-3 with a pair of walks and a run scored in Sunday's 9-7 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez extended his on-base streak to 27 games dating back to June 14. Just nine times out of 80 games this season has Gonzalez not reached base safely with a handful of those games coming when he entered late and didn't get a full complement of at-bats. His .401 on-base percentage and 10.8% walk rate are career highs.

Gonzalez went 2-for-2 with a three-run homer Saturday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez's 18th homer of the season erased a sixth-inning deficit to help lead the Astros to a road victory. He continues to provide fantasy managers with elite-level production, as evidenced by his .316/.394/.593 slash line.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup Saturday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez has gotten to be an everyday player ever since Carlos Correa (thumb) landed on the disabled list, but he'll get a breather for Saturday's night game. Alex Bregman will slide over to shortstop to fill the void while Colin Moran gets a start at the hot corner to round out the infield.

Gonzalez started at shortstop in place of the injured Carlos Correa (thumb) on Wednesday and went 1-for-4 with a double in Houston's 4-1 loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez has started at shortstop in the two games the Astros have played without Correa. He should receive the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Correa is sidelined, which is expected to extend until September. Fantasy owners will not have to worry about if and where the super-utility player will be in the lineup for the next six weeks.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's series opener with the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez will be the only Astros regular receiving the day off Monday, with Jake Marisnick picking up a second straight start in center field as a result of Gonzalez's absence. The 28-year-old was able to keep his tremendous season rolling along nicely during the series with the Twins over the weekend, going 4-for-11 with a home run and two walks.

Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with two runs and a two-run home run in Friday's 10-5 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez's breakout season continued unabated Friday, which was his eighth straight game with at least one RBI. During that stretch, he's gone 11-for-35 (.314) with four home runs and 12 RBI. Logic dictates there will be a second-half regression for the 28-year-old utility player, who has a .985 OPS through 72 games, but we thought that correction would have already happened by now.
