Rockies' Carlos Gonzalez remains out on Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez remains out of the lineup on Thursday.

What It Means:

Gonzalez has been mired in a slump lately, prompting the Rockies to give him a few days off. Ramiel Tapia will start in right field for the second consecutive game.

Our models project Gonzalez for a .269 batting average with 11 home runs and 43 RBI in 343 plate appearances the rest of the season.
