Gordon will hit ninth and man second base against the Astros on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Scott Servais will attempt to rejuvenate the club following seven losses in their last 10 games, shifting Mitch Haniger to the lead-off spot and dropping Gordon to the bottom of the order. In addition, Denard Span will bat second and Jean Segura is hitting out of the three-hole. It remains to be seen if this will be anything more than a short-term change, though Gordon is just 4-for-33 (.121 average) over his past eight games.

Gordon went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday. He's 2-for-9 in the two games since rejoining the lineup after a two-game absence due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon seemingly corroborated the fitness of his ankle by notching his fifth triple of the season Tuesday. The veteran speedster is coming off having compiled a .323 average in July, but his .303 on-base percentage for the season remains pedestrian, especially for a leadoff man. Nevertheless, Gordon is slated to retain the everyday second base job despite the imminent return of Robinson Cano (suspension) -- the latter's inability to play in any postseason games as a byproduct of his 80-game PED ban means Gordon needs to stay sharp at the keystone in advance of a potential playoff appearance.

Gordon (ankle) is starting at second base and leading off Monday against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon has been cleared to rejoin the lineup after missing a pair of games over the weekend due to an ankle injury. The speedster, who is hitting .302/.327/.340 with four stolen bases in 13 games since the All-Star Break, will face southpaw Martin Perez in his first game back.

Gordon (ankle) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
After suffering the right ankle injury in Thursday's series opener, Gordon returned to the lineup Friday before sitting out back-to-back days. With Gordon's ankle not responding well to the activity Friday, it appears he'll be given some more time to rest before being pressed back into action. Andrew Romine will cover the keystone Sunday while Gordon continues to recuperate.

Gordon (ankle) will start at second base and bat atop the order against the Blue Jays on Friday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon will not be forced to miss any time after leaving Thursday's game with a twisted right ankle. Across 99 games this year, he's hit .288/.308/.349 with 22 RBI and 26 stolen bases.

Gordon (ankle) avoided major injury and is not expected to miss an extended period of time, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon will be reevaluated when he gets to the park prior to Friday's game. He was forced to leave Thursday's outing in the ninth inning after twisting his right ankle. Even though he will likely bypass a stint on the DL, there's a chance the Mariners will give him a couple days off to recover, so consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Gordon went 3-for-5 and recorded a stolen base in an extra-inning loss to the Angels on Friday. He was also caught stealing on another attempt.
EDGE Analysis
The speedster fulfilled his leadoff role in trademark fashion, banging out multiple hits for the sixth time in July. Gordon has enjoyed an offensive breakout overall in July, as evidenced by a .333 average over 78 plate appearances. The 30-year-old has now coaxed his season average up 11 points to .291 since July 1, it's highest point since June 23.

Gordon went 4-for-4 with a run in Seattle's 3-1 win over the White Sox on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon brought his average up top .290 with the four-hit day that marked his second multi-hit performance in a row and his third in his last five contests. He remains a solid source of steals and runs who hits for solid average, Gordon just won't ever offer much in the power department, as he's slugging just .353 with one home run in his 365 at-bats.

Gordon went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon closed out the first half with yet another solid offensive performance, his fourth multi-hit effort in the last 10 games. The veteran speedster is slashing .283/.301/.346 across 382 plate appearances, numbers that are all below those of his stellar 2017 campaign in Miami. However, Gordon has been timelier with his hits during his first Seattle campaign, as he's just 11 RBI short of the 33 he compiled last season in 312 additional plate appearances.
