Description: With Corey Hart and Mat Gamel both out with knee injuries, Alex Gonzalez will be the Opening Day starter at first base despite never playing anywhere other than shortstop. SOURCE: Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel | Insight: Gonzalez is coming off a knee injury of his own, a torn ACL that ended his 2012 season after just 81 at-bats. He isn't much of a fantasy option at shortstop so gaining first base eligibility won't change his value at all. | | |

Description: Alex Gonzalez injured his right ankle Saturday against the Giants and was replaced by Cesar Izturis in the second inning. | Insight: Gonzalez (.259, 4 HR, 15 RBIs) suffered the injury while sliding into second base.

Description: Alex Gonzalez will not be in the Brewers starting lineup Tuesday night. | Insight: Gonzalez, who has missed the Brewers past few games to see the birth of his child, was expected to play tonight but instead he has been given an extra day off.

Description: Braves SS Alex Gonzalez hit 2 homers in yesterday's win over the Mets. | Insight: Gonzalez has hit in 7 of his last 8 games and is now batting .255 and he should stay in that range all season. He does have 20+ homer potential but he has never hit 20 HR's a year on a consistent basis. Use him in NL-only leagues now but keep an eye on him in mixed leagues if you did not land one of the top tier shortstops. | | |

Description: The Braves intend to pick up Alex Gonzalez's option and make him their starting SS next year.
SOURCE: DAVID O'BRIEN ON TWITTER | Insight: Not a surprise after the type of year that he had. However, his power numbers dropped in Atlanta and no one should expect 20 homers from him in 2011. | | |

Description: Alex Gonzalez drove in four runs today, while hitting third for Atlanta. | Insight: The team has been using him regularly as their number three hitter since Chipper Jones went on the DL.

Description: Alex Gonzalez went 0-3 out of the third spot in the batting order last night and is hitting just .240 in the NL. | Insight: The Braves lineup is suddenly much less scary to target to starting pitchers.
