Astros' Marwin Gonzalez is sitting out Tuesday

Houston Astros first baseman/shortstop Marwin Gonzalez is not in the lineup on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

Gonzalez finished Monday's game 2-for-4 with a single, double, and 2 strikeouts. He'll get the afternoon off as Alex Bregman slides over to short, while J.D. Davis starts at third base Tuesday.

Our models project Gonzalez for a .291 batting average, with 6 home runs, 20 RBI, and 20 runs scored over 145 plate appearances remaining this season.
