Out of lineup with knee issue Gonzalez (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact David Hamilton will occupy the keystone in the series finale in Sacramento after Gonzalez was removed in the second inning of Tuesday's 6-0 win due to left knee soreness. Gonzalez -- who went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double and two RBI prior to his departure -- is considered day-to-day, with manager Alex Cora noting that he's not overly worried about the infielder's injury, per Cotillo. With a team off day on tap Thursday, Gonzalez will essentially benefit from two days of rest before potentially returning to the lineup Friday against the Yankees.

Impact Gonzalez's knee forced him to make an early exit in the second inning, but not before he blasted a leadoff home run in the first frame and an RBI double in the second. The severity of the 29-year-old's injury remains unknown, keeping the door open for David Hamilton or Nick Sogard to pick up reps at the keystone in the near future.

Lifted early Tuesday Gonzalez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics with an apparent injury, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact It's unclear what kind of injury Gonzalez is dealing with that forced him to leave Tuesday's game in the second inning, but the Red Sox should provide some clarity in the near future. The 29-year-old had already had a productive evening before being pulled, going 2-for-2 with a solo homer and an RBI double. Although he started at first base Tuesday, additional absences for Gonzalez would likely result in increased playing time at second for Nick Sogard and David Hamilton.

Taking seat Sunday Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Gonzalez had covered first base or second base in each of Boston's last eight games, recording at least one hit in each of those contests while driving in five runs and scoring three of his own. Though Gonzalez appears to be locked in as an everyday player at this point, he'll give up his spot in the lineup Sunday to David Hamilton, who will cover the keystone and bat seventh.

Getting regular playing time Gonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Guardians.
Impact Gonzalez, who was in the starting lineup for a seventh consecutive game, got the call at first base against Cleveland left-hander Joey Cantillo. He eventually moved to second base, where he may get more chances going forward due to the domino effect of Roman Anthony's oblique injury. With the Red Sox all of sudden down a couple of outfielders -- Wilyer Abreu (calf) is the other -- Ceddanne Rafaela is needed in center field, opening up second base for Gonzalez and others.

Drawing fourth straight start Gonzalez will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Impact Gonzalez will stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game, though he'll be occupying the keystone for the first time during that stretch while Nathaniel Lowe re-enters the starting nine following a two-day stint on the paternity list. Though Gonzalez has been at his best against left-handed pitching this season (.977 OPS in 122 plate appearances), he's been serviceable against right-handed pitching with a .273/.296/.414 slash line over 135 plate appearances. The Red Sox could prioritize Gonzalez over David Hamilton at second base until Wilyer Abreu's (calf) eventual return from the injured list likely forces Ceddanne Rafaela to the infield on a more frequent basis.

Back in short side of platoon Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Gonzalez appeared to briefly displace Abraham Toro on the depth chart at first base about a week ago, and even though Toro has since been outrighted to Triple-A Worcester, the Red Sox's recent signing of Nathaniel Lowe appears to have prevented Gonzalez from settling into an everyday role. The 28-year-old will hit the bench for the Red Sox's third straight matchup versus a righty starter (Tomoyuki Sugano) and looks as though he'll be limited to the short side of a platoon with Lowe for the foreseeable future.
