Gonzalez will start at first base and bat fifth in the order Sunday against the Blue Jays, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Tyler White, the team's Opening Day starter at first base, and top prospect A.J. Reed are sticking with the big club, it's Gonzalez who has seen the bulk of the duties at the position. Gonzalez will start at first base for the fourth time in seven games, and he's been able to stick in the lineup on the other three occasions thanks to his ability to play all over the diamond. The 27-year-old's versatile glove and serviceable bat should continue to open up everyday at-bats for him.

Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and two runs scored on Thursday night against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez was batting a mere .111 in August before his admirable performance on Thursday. The infielder's offensive production is down across the board, except for his home-run totals -- he currently has 10 after hitting a career-high 12 in 2015.

Gonzalez is back in the lineup Monday against the Twins, Julia Morales of ROOT Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

A personal matter kept Gonzalez off the field Sunday, but he'll return to start at second base Monday night with Jose Altuve taking the night off. Gonzalez, who's hitting .251 on the season, will bat sixth behind catcher Evan Gattis.

Gonzalez is attending to a personal matter at home and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Rangers, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez's absence leaves the Astros extremely thin on their bench, as Tyler White (knee) and Carlos Gomez (illness) are also sitting out Sunday. The utility man recently returned from a hand injury, and that coupled with this personal matter has limited him to just 10 plate appearances since July 30. The Astros figure to update Gonzalez's status prior to Monday's series opener with the Twins.

Gonzalez is not in Thursday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez recently returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing four games with a hand injury. He will get the day off Thursday as Tyler White earns the nod at first. Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with a double and two strikeouts in his return Wednesday, and will likely be back in the lineup Friday against the Rangers.

Gonzalez (hand) is back in the lineup, hitting second and playing third base Wednesday against the Blue Jays, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

EDGE Analysis

The utility man missed four games with the hand injury and will return to a favorable location in the Astros' lineup Wednesday. His positional flexibility makes him quite serviceable in deeper formats, but his playing time only figures to trend down as the season goes on and the Astros add the likes of Yulieski Gurriel to the roster.

Gonzalez remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Jordan Ray of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Make it four straight absences for Gonzalez, who continues to nurse a bout of right hand soreness. He hasn't appeared off the bench in any of the last three games and it's uncertain if Gonzalez will be available in any capacity for the final two games of the series. A.J. Reed will get the nod at first base Tuesday as Tyler White sits.

Gonzalez (hand) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez will visit with a hand specialist in Houston in order to get a further evaluation on his injury. The 27-year-old is currently riding a 12-game hitting streak that has seen him slash .283/.296/.585 with four home runs, four RBI and 12 runs scored. He will be considered day-to-day for the moment and more information surrounding the injury should be released following his meeting with the specialist.

Gonzalez (hand) remains out of the lineup Monday against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the third straight absence for Gonzalez, who is scheduled to visit with a hand specialist Monday in Houston. More will be known following the consultation, but continue to consider Gonzalez day-to-day until further notice.

Gonzalez is scheduled to visit a specialist in Houston on Monday to evaluate his sore right hand, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez was sidelined for his second straight game Sunday against the Tigers. He's apparently shown little improvement since suffering the hand injury Friday, so the Astros likely just to want to determine whether or not he's dealing with anything that might be significant. The utility man's injury has come at a poor time for the Astros, who essentially had just one bench option available Sunday with Carlos Gomez (hamstring) also banged up.
