Adrian Gonzalez had extra time off this weekend after requesting a break from Dave Roberts.

Gonzalez is hitting just .173 with a .212 slugging percentage for the Los Angeles Dodgers over his last 14 games.

"I was going to give him one day and he came in the other night and said, 'Maybe two days might be better for me mentally,'" Roberts said. "It's rare for him so for him to come in, and it's never easy to ask for an extra day, he's a guy that wants to be out there every single day, but to help the club moving forward it might be good for him to take two days."

Gonzalez has played at least 156 of the season's 162 games in each of the last 10 years, yet he has already been absent from four of the Dodgers' 77 games this year.
