Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Saturday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez smacked his 16th homer of the season in the ninth-inning, but it did little to help the Astros in a game that was already out of hand. The veteran is having a huge breakout season, and he's rewarded fantasy owners with a. 312 batting average to go along with a .587 slugging percentage.

EDGE Analysis
Norichika Aoki has taken over in left field in place of Gonzalez, who was tossed after yelling at the home plate umpire from the dugout following a strikeout. Gonzalez had gone 1-for-3 with a home run prior to being ejected Thursday. He figures to rejoin the lineup Friday against Aaron Sanchez (finger).

Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at shortstop in place of Carlos Correa (thumb), Gonzalez put together his third multi-hit performance in the last five games. The Astros' super-utility man is now hitting .365 (19-for-52) over his last 14 games with two homers, eight runs and 15 RBI.

Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez opened the scoring with a long ball on an 0-2 delivery from Luis Severino in the bottom of the second, setting the tone for this comfortable victory in the series rubber match. It has taken the 28-year-old slugger just 65 games to surpass last season's career high of 13 home runs, and he's just six RBI short of his 2016 best despite batting mostly in the bottom third of the Houston order.

Gonzalez (oblique) went 1-for-4 against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Gonzalez (oblique) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mariners, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was a late scratch from Saturday's game due to tightness in his right oblique, and will get another day off for the series finale. With the Astros depth and a scheduled day off Monday, there is no reason to push the 28-year-old into the lineup card, and he should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Gonzalez was scratched from the starting lineup Saturday due to right oblique tightness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez was set to receive a rare start at first base, acting as a spell for Yuli Gurriel, but instead will take the day to recover. It's unclear as to the extent of the injury, though it may simply be a precautionary measure by the team, so consider him day-to-day for now. Gurriel will start at first base in his absence.

Gonzalez is not starting Sunday against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Alex Bregman and Yulieski Gurriel starting at the corners, Gonzalez will start the night on the bench against Red Sox lefty David Price. Expect Gonzalez and his blistering .989 OPS to be used off the bench at some point, though, as he already got a full day of rest in Friday's series opener.

Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Wednesday's 13-2 shelling of the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
He'd gone 0-for-9 over the past three games, so this was a welcome bounce-back effort. Gonzalez is still looking for his first homer of what's been an injury-shortened June, but his season stats haven't lost much of their luster. If anything's hurting his fantasy value, it's that Gonzalez doesn't quite enjoy an everyday role, bouncing as he does from position to position. He's done everything but catch and pitch this year.
