Gonzalez will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Abraham Toro is also in the lineup Sunday as a replacement at third base for the resting Alex Bregman, but Gonzalez seems to have emerged as the Red Sox's preferred option at first base. Despite facing right-handed pitchers in each of the last three contests, Gonzalez started in each of those contests -- twice at first base and once at second -- while the switch-hitting Toro was included in the lineup just once. Since the start of August, Gonzalez has produced a .773 OPS, well ahead of Toro's .471 mark during that same period.
