Erik Gonzalez absent from Indians' Monday lineup

Cleveland Indians second baseman Erik Gonzalez is not in the lineup Monday against the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Gonzalez got the start on Sunday with Jason Kipnis getting the afternoon off. However, Kipnis is back at second base and hitting eighth on Monday, so Gonzalez will head to the bench.

Our models project Gonzalez for a .247 batting average with 2 home runs, 11 runs scored, and 10 RBI over 87 plate appearances remaining this season.
