Adrian Gonzalez

Adrian Gonzalez (back) out of the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez (back) is not in the lineup Tuesday.

What It Means:

Gonzalez is sitting with a herniated disc in his back on Tuesday as Cody Bellinger will handle first base as Joc Pederson returns to the lineup and the outfield on Tuesday.

Before word the back injury, our models projected Gonzalez for a .276 batting average and 7 home runs in 324 plate appearances the rest of the season.
