Coming off an 0-for-3 showing, Gonzalez will sit as the Rockies battle lefty Sean Newcomb. Pat Valaika is in his place, batting eighth and playing left field on Saturday.

numberFire's models project Gonzalez for 3 home runs, 13 RBI and a .272 average over 116 plate appearances the rest of the way this season.
