Manager Alex Cora said Sunday after the Red Sox's 5-4 loss to the Phillies that Gonzalez will likely require a stint on the injured list after aggravating a hamstring issue in the contest, Sean McAdam of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez went hitless in his lone plate appearance before being pulled from the contest in the second inning. Given that Gonzalez exited Monday's game against the Angels with hamstring tightness before returning to action for Friday's series opener with Philadelphia, the Red Sox plan to take a more conservative approach with the veteran utility man this time around.

Gonzalez missed Tuesday's game, which opened up playing time for Danny Santana, but he left that game with a quadriceps injury.

EDGE Analysis

Even though Christian Arroyo has missed time of late with a bruised knee and was placed on the injured list Thursday, the Red Sox have preferred to keep Gonzalez in a bench role.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez blasted a two-run home run to left off New York reliever Lucas Luetge to tie the score at 3-3 but failed to contribute otherwise on offense. The home run was Gonzalez's first since April 17 as he's been playing part time since Danny Santana's recall. However, Gonzalez has started the last three games and posted four extra-base hits total.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The arrival of Danny Santana from Triple-A Worcester coupled with the recent returns of Enrique Hernandez and Christian Arroyo from the injured list has seemingly resulted in Gonzalez being squeezed out of an everyday role. Gonzalez will sit for the third time in four games Wednesday, and his opportunities to start may come primarily against left-handed pitching moving forward.
