EDGE Analysis

Michael Chavis will get the nod at second base while Gonzalez sits for the first time since May 1, ending a streak of 10 consecutive starts. Gonzalez slashed a respectable .286/.333/.429 over that span, seemingly solidifying himself as the Red Sox's preferred leadoff option in the process.
