Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-innings win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
It was the first career grand slam for Gonzalez, who amassed a season-high four RBI as well. Despite Wednesday's eruption, the 28-year-old infielder should remain on the weak side of a platoon with the switch-hitting Abraham Toro at first base going forward. Gonzalez owns a 1.078 OPS over 82 at-bats versus left-handers as opposed to a .658 OPS across 76 at-bats against righties this year.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Though he started in three of Boston's last four games, Gonzalez may not be a regular presence in the lineup against right-handed pitching moving forward with the Red Sox having recently gotten Masataka Yoshida and Alex Bregman back from the injured list. Gonzalez should continue to play frequently versus lefties, whom he's battered to the tune of a .389/.444/.708 slash line over 81 plate appearances in 2025.

Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez extended his hit streak to nine games Wednesday, swatting his third home run of that stretch. He's logged an extra-base hit in seven of those nine outings and has totaled 11 RBI and 10 runs scored during that stretch. On the year, Gonzalez is slashing .338/.372/.603 - each of which would be a career-best.

Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-2 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez continued a roll that's seen him hit safely in eight straight starts, including five with multiple knocks. He's gone 16-for-34 (.471) with five doubles, two triples, two home runs and 10 RBI during the streak. Gonzalez mashes lefties, as evidenced by his .412/.461/.750 slash line across 76 plate appearances against them this season. His multi-position eligibility makes him an attractive asset for fantasy benches.

Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-3 win against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez drew his third consecutive start at the keystone and made the most of it, smashing a monstrous 454-foot solo shot off Colorado reliever Ryan Rolison for Boston's final run of the contest. Gonzalez is the short side of a platoon with David Hamilton but has been successful when in the lineup. Through 140 total plate appearances, the 28-year-old is slashing .326/.357/.566 with 25 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Gonzalez will start at second base and bat second in Monday's game against the Rockies, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez will stick in the No. 2 spot in the order for the third game in a row while the Red Sox oppose their third consecutive left-handed starter (Austin Gomber). The 28-year-old is coming off a big weekend series in Washington, where he went 5-for-9 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs between his two starts. Gonzalez should continue to occupy a prominent spot in the lineup versus southpaws, but his playing time against righties looks to be more sporadic.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez had been included in the lineup in the four of the Red Sox's last five games, but three of those starts came against left-handed pitching. The 28-year-old looks to be stuck in the short side of a platoon at first base with Abraham Toro for the time being, though Gonzalez could get more looks at second base versus right-handed pitching if David Hamilton (.506 OPS in 116 plate appearances) continues to languish.

Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run during Saturday's 15-1 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez registered a season-high three hits for the third time this year and added to the blowout in the seventh inning, when he took Mason Fluharty deep to center field for a 446-foot, two-run home run. Gonzalez got the start at first base Saturday, but his versatility to play at the keystone and the hot corner should allow him to see some consistent playing time, especially with Kristian Campbell in Triple-A Worcester.

Gonzalez started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Per usual, manager Alex Cora got Gonzalez's bat in the lineup against a lefty. Gonzalez typically plays first base, but Cora kept the productive Abraham Toro there and used Gonzalez at second base Sunday, the first game that Boston has faced a lefty since it demoted Kristian Campbell. The move worked offensively, as Gonzalez took Robbie Ray deep for his second homer of the season, but he also had a crucial error that led to three unearned runs crossing the plate. Gonzalez owns a 1.076 OPS against southpaws in 2025.

Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional runs and a double in a 10-7 win against the Yankees on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gonzalez tacked the final two runs onto the line of Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough with a blast to left field in the fourth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for Gonzalez, who went deep six times over 216 plate appearances with Boston last year. Despite the lack of power prior to Saturday, the utility man has been handy with the bat, as he's slashing .329/.368/.486 with 12 RBI, 13 runs and three stolen bases through 76 plate appearances.
