Gordon went 1-for-5 with a two-run double in a win over the Tigers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners' new full-time second baseman was part of a four-run sixth, lacing a two-bagger to shallow right field that plated Ryon Healy and Mike Zunino. The 30-year-old had been mired in a 1-for-16 slump over the prior four games, but due to a scorching hot start to May, he's still hitting .300 over 70 at-bats during the month.

Gordon is taking grounders at second base in anticipation of a possible position change, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon, who made the transition to center field this season when he was traded to the Mariners, could be switching back to second base after Robinson Cano (finger) was popped with an 80-game suspension for failing a drug test. This shouldn't really have an effect on his fantasy value, as he's already eligible at the keystone in most leagues thanks to his work there in 2017.

Gordon (toe) went 0-for-7 with an RBI from a sacrifice fly and a walk in a doubleheader against the Tigers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon had missed Thursday's series finale against the Blue Jays with a bruised toe, and then had seen his planned Friday return postponed due to weather. He could only muster a sacrifice fly in the first game of Saturday's twin bill, but he still sported an impressive .366 average over 43 May plate appearances heading into Sunday's action.

Gordon (toe) is back in the lineup in center field and batting atop the order for Friday's game against Detroit, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was held out of Thursday's game to a bruised big toe after suffering the injury earlier in the week on a foul ball. It doesn't appear as though this was an overly serious injury, as the speedy outfielder will not miss any additional time.

Gordon is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays due to a bruised big toe, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon suffered the injury after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the week. His absence from the lineup seems to be precautionary, however, as the Mariners expect him to return to action for Friday's series opener against the Tigers. Guillermo Heredia is starting in center field Thursday.

Gordon is out of the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old Gordon is off to a hot start to the season, hitting .340/.362/.431 with 15 stolen bases across 35 games, but he'll will head to the bench for just the third time all year with left-hander J.A. Happ toeing the rubber for the opposition. Guillermo Heredia will start in center field and bat eighth in his stead.

Gordon went 3-for-5 with a run scored and stolen base Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Dee Gordon continued his red-hot stretch of hitting Tuesday, recording his sixth multi-hit performance across his last nine starts. In that span, he has seen his average rise from .277 to .353 while also stealing six bases and scoring eight runs. He's produced exactly as expected, and his value is amplified by the fact that he remains eligible at second base.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon has started all but one game thus far in 2018, so this appears to just be a day of rest for the speedster. Guillermo Heredia takes over in center field as left-hander Tyler Skaggs is on the mound for the Angels.

Gordon went 5-for-5 with a double and two steals in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old continues to be a perfect leadoff hitter for the Mariners, as he now has nine hits over the past two games and is 11-for-14 with three steals and three runs scored over the last three. The two steals Tuesday gave him his AL-leading 12th in 14 attempts on the year, and he's currently boasting a .339/.367/.435 slash line -- all of which would mark career bests.

Gordon went 4-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Indians on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon wreaked havoc out of the leadoff spot all afternoon, an increasingly common occurrence during what has been an excellent start to his first Mariners season. The 30-year-old went 6-for-9 with a double, Sunday's RBI a stolen base and four runs over the final two games of the series against the Indians, and his season line now sits at .309/.339/.400 over 118 plate appearances. Even though Gordon's BABIP is a bloated .371, it's worth noting that he posted figures of .383 and .354 in that category with the Marlins in 2015 and 2017 while logging well over 600 plate appearances in both seasons.
