Alex Gonzalez (groin) is out of the Braves' starting lineup again Tuesday. | ||||||
Gonzalez hasn't played since leaving Sunday's game with a slight strain in his left groin. He's hopeful that he can return to the starting lineup in the next day or two.

Alex Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Atlanta's win over the Cardinals on Sunday. | ||||||
He also scored the winning run in the ninth inning after reaching on an error (Ryan Theriot dropped a routine pop-up). Gonzalez has now gone deep four times in his first 29 games this season, and has a good shot at posting his second straight, and third career, 20-homer campaign. | ||||||

Alex Gonzalez earned his second two-hit game in as many days on Tuesday, as the Braves beat the Padres 8-2. | ||||||
Gonzalez added a run and two RBI, giving him 11 runs and eight RBI on the year. Do not expect him to repeat last season's impressive stat line, but there are worse options than an everyday veteran shortstop with some pop. | ||||||

| Sat Apr 16 2011 | 19:02 | Gonzalez homers twice in win over Mets | ||||
Alex Gonzalez hit two solo homers in a 4-2 win over the Mets in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday. | ||||||
It was the ninth multi-homer game of his career. Gonzalez has hit 26 home runs since the start of the 2010, trailing only Troy Tulowitzki among MLB shortstops. That being said, we're not banking on another 20-homer season, so he can mostly be ignored in mixed formats. Chipper Jones and Freddie Freeman also went deep in the win. | ||||||
