Gonzo missing games is rare. In fact, after being left out of the lineup vs. the Angels on Thursday it was the first time since 2005 that he missed three consecutive games.

Gonzo will return to the starting lineup on Saturday, but this means he will miss four straight games for the first time since 2006. According to L.A. Times writer Bill Shaikin, in the last 10 seasons Agon has played at least 156 games.
