Fantasy Analysis
Gonzalez had gone 15 games since belting his last long ball, so it was nice to see him go deep on Sunday. The 26-year-old has managed to stay fairly consistent at the plate this month as he is hitting .310 with four home runs and 14 RBI in May. He is also posted a .360 on-base percentage over that stretch and looks like he is in for another big year if he can stay healthy. Fantasy owners should continue to roll with Gonzalez as a must-start option in all formats heading into Week 8 (May 21-27). (Updated 05/20/2012).

Clayton Kershaw outpitched Ian Kennedy after exchanging brushback pitches with his fellow ace, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night without injured star Matt Kemp.
After an offseason of rest and rehabbing, Carlos Gonzalez appears to have finally put his wrist injury behind him. Despite hurting his right wrist not once, but twice, over the second half of 2011, Gonzalez put together a strong campaign, even though it paled by 2010's lofty standards. Though he didn't defend his NL batting title, Gonzalez continued to hit for power while taking a far more patient approach at the plate. In posting his second straight season with at least 20 stolen bases, Gonzalez's well-rounded game enabled him to perform like a No. 1 Fantasy outfielder. With a clean bill of health going into spring training, he has a good shot at improving on his impressive 2011 numbers. He will continue to be among the top Fantasy outfield options, and owners should look to target him within the first two rounds of mixed league drafts. (Updated 2/13/12)
