Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez sits for the third time in Boston's last five games. With a .201/.291/.288 line on the season, it's hard to make the case that he deserves more frequent opportunities. For the third straight game, Enrique Hernandez moves in to play second base while Danny Santana starts in center field, which may be Boston's default alignment going forward.

Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. His .573 OPS on the season, which comes in even worse than his .606 mark from last year, isn't exactly everyday-player material. Enrique Hernandez will move in to play second base in his absence, with Danny Santana starting in center field.

Gonzalez isn't starting Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez had gone just 1-for-17 with a run and five strikeouts across his last four games. Michael Chavis will start at second base and bat ninth.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

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.

Gonzalez went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the A's.

EDGE Analysis

The switch hitter is putting together a solid May, going 12-for-42 (.286) with six doubles, three RBI and four runs so far. Despite the barrage of two-baggers, Gonzales is still only slashing .223/.323/.330 on the season with one homer, two steals, nine RBI and 14 runs through 32 games.

Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez has hit safely in seven straight contests, going 10-for-31 with four doubles and three RBI. He started at second base for the second time in three games, with both starts coming against a right-hander. Sandwiched between his two starts at the keystone was Michael Chavis starting against a lefty. This should be Boston's plan for second base going forward while Enrique Hernandez (hamstring) and Christian Arroyo (hand) are on the injured list.

Gonzalez started at second base, batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez filled in at second base with both Enrique Hernandez (hamstring, IL) and Christian Arroyo (hand) dealing with injuries. Hernandez's absence leaves openings at second base, center field and leadoff. This was Gonzalez's first time leading off in 2021, and he has just 37 career at-bats atop an order. Manager Alex Cora told Ian Browne of MLB.com that he hopes Arroyo can be ready to start by Sunday. That means either Gonzalez or the recently called up Michael Chavis will man second base Saturday against Baltimore left-hander Zac Lowther.

Gonzalez isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rangers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez will be on the bench for a second straight game after he went 0-for-12 with an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts in his last four contests. Christian Arroyo will start at second base and lead off.

Gonzalez is out of the lineup Friday against the Rangers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old started 10 of the previous 11 games, including the past three at second base, but he'll head to the bench for Friday's contest after going 5-for-33 during that stretch. Christian Arroyo didn't start the past few games after being it by a pitch, so he could reclaim some playing time at the keystone from Gonzalez.

Gonzalez will start at second base and bat seventh Thursday against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Making his 10th start in 11 games, Gonzalez looks to be an everyday player for the Red Sox at this point rather than a utility man. While he'll still have the ability to play all over the infield and outfield, he seems to have found a home of late at the keystone, where he'll be starting for the third straight contest. Enrique Hernandez has been seeing more work in the outfield of late as a result, pushing Franchy Cordero into more of a reserve role.
