Carlos Gonzalez left Monday’s game against the Braves with right knee soreness and is considered day-to-day, according to The Atlanta Journal Constitution.
It’s the second time in a week that the star Colorado Rockies outfielder had to leave a game with an issue in his knee. Gonzalez was hitless in two at-bats before exiting the game. When healthy, the 29-year-old has been one of the best players in MLB this season. The Rockies have the worst record in the entire league, which means it could be a slow process for the $80 million man to get back on the field.

In 115 games this season, Gonzalez has a .273 BA and .877 OPS with 30 HR (2nd in the NL) and 71 RBI. The Rockies will have a tough time filling the void of their top player.
With fantasy playoffs starting or close to beginning, you might have to find a replacement, which will likely be hard to find.
