Gordon went 3-for-4 with a run in a win over the Angels on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After a red-hot first two months-plus of the season, Gordon had gotten June off to a sluggish start. The speedy leadoff man was mired in a 9-for-44 slump over the 10 games prior to Tuesday, but he snapped out of that funk with his first multi-hit effort since June 3. Gordon still sports a solid .283 season average, but that figure has notably tumbled over 70 points since reaching .355 as recently as May 3.

Gordon, who's been manning second base during Robinson Cano's 80-game suspension, is slated to continue logging regular playing time there upon the latter's mid-August return, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kramer is essentially relaying the details of a conversation that general manager Jerry Dipoto had with ESPN.com in which he explained the reasoning behind such a strategy. Not only has Gordon handled himself well at a position that he'd already played 502 big-league games in prior to Cano's suspension, but the latter would also be ineligible for any postseason play under the terms of his ban. With the Mariners looking like one of the top five teams in baseball over the first two months-plus of the campaign, Dipoto emphasizes that the player that would man the keystone during a potential playoff run needs to continue receiving regular reps at the position, especially during the season's stretch run. "That could allow for a time-share, so to speak, where we keep everybody sharp," Dipoto said. "But we do know Dee is going to have to play second base as we come down the stretch. Because if we want to be in the postseason -- which we do -- then we know who our second baseman is going to be. And it's going to be Dee Gordon."

Gordon is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon will receive a rare day off after going hitless in five at-bats during Friday's victory. In his place, Andrew Romine will make a start at second base and bat ninth in the order. Expect Gordon to be back in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead RBI infield single and a stolen base in a win over the Rays on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon coaxed a blooper just over the head of shortstop Daniel Robertson off southpaw Jose Alvarado with one out in the eighth, bringing home what would ultimately prove to be the winning run in a brilliant pitchers' duel. The speedy leadoff man also swiped his 19th bag of the season in the victory, keeping him on pace to potentially reach or eclipse the 60 he'd tallied in Miami last season. After an eight-game slump (4-for-36) that he sandwiched around a 10-day stint on the disabled list due to a toe injury, Gordon bounced back to go 3-for-8 with Sunday's RBI and three stolen bases over the final two games of the series versus the Rays.

Gordon went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in a win over the Rays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Following an 0-for-6 night Friday in which he struck out twice, Gordon reportedly re-took the field in the wee hours and put in nearly a half-hour of batting practice off a tee, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. The extra work paid off to a modest extent Saturday, as Gordon snapped an 0-for-10 slump overall with a first-inning single. He then proceeded to swipe second, which prompted an errant throw from Rays backstop Jesus Sucre and allowed the speedster to advance to third. The play was symbolic of the dynamic element Gordon brings to the table any time he's on base, making his willingness to put in extra work when he isn't successful all the more important.

Gordon went 1-for-5 with a triple and a run in a win over the Rangers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, Gordon made a triumphant return by lacing a leadoff triple in the home half of the first. The speedster subsequently crossed the plate on Jean Segura's sacrifice fly, and the fact he legged out his second three-bagger of the season essentially corroborated the fitness of his toe. Gordon heads into June with a modest three-game hitting streak and appears ready to resume his role as a dynamic table-setter at the top of the order.

Gordon (toe) was activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to Thursday's game against the Rangers. He is starting at second base and hitting leadoff, according to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle. He is starting at second base and hitting leadoff, according to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Gordon is back in action after a minimum, stay on the disabled list with a toe fracture. He'll immediately reclaim his role as the team's everyday leadoff man and primary second baseman, with Gordon Beckham, who was filling in for Gordon at the keystone, heading to the minors in a corresponding roster move. The 30-year-old speedster, who was hitting an impressive .304/.330/.386 with 16 stolen bases across 45 games prior to landing on the shelf, will face lefty Mike Minor in his first game back.

Gordon (toe) is expected to return from the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon landed on the disabled list last week with a minor fracture in his right big toe, but he's feeling much better and it sounds like his stay on the shelf will be limited to the 10-day minimum. Divish noted that Gordon could face Hisashi Iwakuma (shoulder) in a live batting practice session Tuesday, but the Mariners may not want to risk the speedster fouling another ball off his toe. Once active, Gordon should immediately slot back in as the team's everyday leadoff man and primary second baseman.

Manager Scott Servais said he doesn't expect Gordon (toe) to miss much more than 10 days, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Servais added that the fracture in Gordon's toe is a minor one, which make sense given he was able to swipe a bag and score the winning run in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Tigers after suffering the injury. He'll get some time off to let the issue heal, but early indications are that the speedster won't require a lengthy stay on the shelf. Gordon was hitting a solid .304/.330/.386 with 16 stolen bases in 45 games prior to landing on the DL. Look for Gordon Beckham to fill in at second base until Gordon is healthy.

Gordon was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a fractured right big toe.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon originally injured his big toe against the Blue Jays earlier in the month, but was able to return after missing just one game. The speedster apparently re-injured the toe in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Tigers -- which is somewhat surprising given he stole a base and scored the winning run -- and will now require a stay on the DL to get over the issue. The severity of the injury, along with a possible timetable for his return, remain unclear at the moment, but this is yet another tough blow for the Mariners. Dan Vogelbach was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding roster move, while Gordon Beckham appears to be the most likely option to takeover at second base in Gordon's absence.
