Sitting again Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez's versatility has allowed him to hold down a near-everyday role for most of the season, but the recent returns of Ke'Bryan Hayes, Colin Moran and Phillip Evans from the injured list may have closed the 29-year-old's path to steady playing time. He'll be on the bench for a second straight game Wednesday.
