Padres right fielder Edgar Gonzalez left the Tuesday night's game at Colorado with a partially separated left shoulder after diving for Clint Barmes' inside-the-park homer in the seventh inning.

Gonzalez barely missed Barmes' drive that sliced into the corner. He rolled over in pain and stayed down as Barmes circled the bases behind Ian Stewart, who had walked. Gonzalez walked off the field holding his left wrist and was replaced by Will Venable. The Padres later said that Gonzalez had a subluxation, or partial separation, of his left shoulder.

Gonzalez's left shoulder popped out but popped right back in. He said he's sore but will be OK in a couple of days. Earlier this season, Gonzalez missed more than six weeks after he was struck in the head by a pitch from Colorado's Jason Hammel on July 18. Gonzalez is hitting .219 with 18 RBIs.
