On bench Saturday
Gonzalez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
Analysis
Gonzalez went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Friday to snap what had been a seven-game hitting streak, and he'll now move to the bench Saturday. His absence will give Andruw Monasterio a start at first base.

Not in Wednesday's lineup
Gonzalez is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the White Sox on Wednesday.
Analysis
Gonzalez will take a breather while the lefty-hitting Masataka Yoshida serves as Boston's designated hitter and bats fifth against White Sox right-hander Davis Martin. Gonzalez has gone 7-for-20 (.350) with five RBI and three extra-base hits over his last five games.

Taking seat Sunday
Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Analysis
Gonzalez will hit the bench after he started in each of the Red Sox's last four games while going 6-for-16 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and two runs. Masataka Yoshida will serve as Boston's designated hitter Sunday, but he's generated a tepid .250/.331/.350 slash line on the season and could see his opportunities take a hit while Gonzalez has produced well since returning from the 60-day injured list June 28.
