Dee Gordon went 5-for-6 with three stolen bases Saturday in the Dodgers' 9-7 victory in Miami.
Gordon is the first player in the recorded history of the Dodgers (dating back to at least 1914) to collect five hits and three steals in a single game. The five hits were also a career-high for the suddenly-blossoming 26-year-old infielder. Gordon is batting .357 with an .851 OPS and 19 stolen bases in 28 games this year.

Dee Gordon went 2-for-5 with his 13th stolen base of the season in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.
Gordon reached on a bunt single to lead off the game for the Dodgers, stole third base with one out and scored on an Adrian Gonzalez single for the team's only run of the game. Gordon's two hits raised his average to .353, and his 13 stolen bases lead the National League.

Dee Gordon was cleared of a possible concussion after Tuesday's game.
Gordon left the contest after hitting his head on the Phillies' Jayson Nix's knee when he slid into third base on steal in the seventh inning. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said that the second baseman looked a little "dazed" but passed the necessary tests. Still, it wouldn't be a surprise if the club gave him a day.

Dee Gordon left Tuesday's game against the Phillies with a possible head injury.
Gordon appeared to bang his head on the Phillies' Jayson Nix's knee when he slid into third base on steal in the seventh inning. He initially stayed in and scored on a Justin Turner RBI single but didn't take his position in the eighth. The Dodgers will surely put him through concussion tests before an update on his status is available.

Dee Gordon went 3-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 setback against the Giants.
It already seems insane that Justin Turner started on Opening Day. The 25-year-old Gordon continues to whack the ball around, collecting multi-hit games in four of his last six. He's slashing .404/.453/.553 with 10 steals. That average is good for third in the National League, while he leads the league in swipes.

Dee Gordon went 1-for-3 with four stolen bases in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
He also walked twice and scored a run in the game. Gordon leads the National League with nine stolen bases, and Sunday he victimized Diamondbacks catcher Tuffy Gosewisch four times in the win. The second baseman is now batting .400/.457/.525 on the young season.

Dee Gordon went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in Tuesday's 3-2 win against the Tigers.
Gordon caught Max Scherzer off guard with a leadoff homer in the first, just his second career round-tripper in 644 at-bats. The 25-year-old is off to one heck of a start, slashing .357/.406/.536 with three steals (third in the NL) over 28 at-bats. Gordon has seized the starting keystone gig and should be owned in all formats until he shows signs of cooling.

Ellis C, Dee Gordon 2B, Hyun-Jin Ryu P.

Dee Gordon went 3-for-4 with a double, a sac fly and a couple of runs scored Sunday as the Dodgers' leadoff man against the Diamondbacks.
Gordon didn't get a stolen base in the game, though he would have had one easy had Yasiel Puig not opted to swing at a 1-0 pitch and foul it off. His speed also forced Aaron Hill into a misplay, resulting in an infield single. Gordon isn't going to be a consistent force offensively, but as long as he starts against right-handers, his speed will make him worth playing in mixed leagues.
