Gonzalez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Gonzalez will take a seat for the second time in the series while he's gone 5-for-42 with no walks and 18 strikeouts over his last 11 games dating back to Aug. 16. His ongoing slump appears to have cost him a regular role between the corner outfield and designated hitter, with waiver-wire pickup Ramon Laureano having seemingly supplanted him in the Guardians' lineup.
