Gordon collected two more hits and stole a base in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
That makes three-straight multi-hit games for the leadoff man as he continues to put in solid work at the dish. Since returning from an 80-game PED suspension on July 28, Gordon has batted .338/.413/.400 with 17 runs scored and eight steals in 17 games.

Gordon went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon has wreaked havoc over the past 10 games, using his speed to score 12 runs and swipe six bags out of the Marlins leadoff spot. This effort was highly unusual for the middle infielder, as he has driven in multiple runs in just one other game this season while also serving an 80-game suspension for performance enhancing drugs.

Gordon is out of the lineup Sunday agains the White Sox, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon has started 14 of 15 games at second base since returning from his suspension, but he'll take a seat Sunday with tough southpaw Chris Sale on the mound for the White Sox. Gordon was likely due for a day off anyway after starting nine in a row, but Sunday's move will allow manager Don Mattingly to play matchups as well. The newly-recalled Robert Andino will get the start at second base in Gordon's stead.

Gordon went 3-for-5 with one run scored and two steals in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon has hit in five of six starts since returning from an 80-game PED suspension on July 28, compiling a solid .348/.423/.391 slash line while going 3-for-4 in stolen base attempts. There was speculation that Gordon would be subject to a platoon with backup Derek Dietrich in order to keep the latter fresh for a potential playoff run (Gordon is ineligible for the post-season), however, manager Don Mattingly appears content to get his best available lineup out there everyday and that includes Dee Gordon atop the order. He's literally hit the ground running in his return and will be a massive source of speed over the final two months of the season.

Gordon is not in the Marlins lineup on Tuesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It looks to be just a routine day off for Gordon, who will give way to Derek Dietrich at second base. The Marlins will occasionally start Dietrich at second base for the remainder of the season as Gordon will not be eligible for postseason play. Gordon has started five games since returning from his 80-game suspension.

Gordon went 1-for-2 with two walks in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
He saw an impressive 20 pitches in his four plate appearances and Gordon has now reached base seven times in the last three games while scoring four runs and stealing a base. Not coincidentally the Marlins have also scored 22 runs in those three games, as Gordon's presence in the leadoff spot has helped kick-start the offense.

Gordon went 1-for-4 with a double, walk, stolen base and three runs in Saturday's 11-0 victory over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The leadoff man was quite the table-setter Saturday, and appears to be hitting his stride after his recent return from an 80-game PED suspension. Gordon is 3-for-8 with four runs and Saturday's double, walk and stolen base over the last two contests.

Gordon is back in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals after serving his 80-game suspension, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon will finally return to the lineup for the first time since April 28. If the speedy second baseman can return to his 2015 form that saw him hit .333/.359/.418 with eight triples and 58 stolen bases, he will provide a huge boost for fantasy owners and the Marlins as they continue to contend for a playoff spot. With Gordon back, Derek Dietrich will likely see his playing time at second base decrease, but could continue to get some reps at first base with Justin Bour on the 15-day DL and Chris Johnson day-to-day with a foot injury.

Gordon was reinstated from the restricted list Thursday and is expected to return to action against the Cardinals, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon is done serving his 80-game suspension and he will take over the duties at the keystone for the Marlins. There has been plenty of speculation about how much of Gordon's production in recent years was PED-fueled, but he has always been a burner, so at the very least he should provide plenty of steals going forward. Don Kelly was designated for assignment as a corresponding move.

Gordon will be eased back into regular action when he makes his return to the Marlins on Thursday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday marks the end of Gordon's 80-game PED suspension and he's gone 5-for-22 in six rehab games. Encouragingly, Gordon swiped a pair of bases during his rehab work and should be ready to make an immediate impact when activated. Manager Don Mattingly did acknowledge, however, the Derek Dietrich will continue to see regular work at second, noting that Gordon is ineligible to participate in the post season should the Marlins get there.
