Alex Gonzalez leaves Reds to be with Sick Son

Alex Gonzalez has left the Reds again because of the illness to his 10-month-old son.

The Reds have yet to place him on the bereavement list, though that could come soon.

If so, they could bring back Mark Bellhorn, who just cleared waivers.

Jeff Keppinger will start at shortstop.

Gonzalez went home to Miami before the team left for Chicago.
