Alex Gonzalez left Boston and the team last night not long after 6 p.m., the reason he was replaced in the lineup by Alex Cora. Gonzalez was called away because of an issue with his wife, and headed down to Miami to be with his family last night. Manager Terry Francona said Gonzalez is not expected to come back, and doesn't need to come back.
