Dee Gordon was replaced at shortstop headed to the top of the ninth in Sunday's game against the Mets.
Gordon, who had three steals tonight, appeared to tweak something running out a grounder in the bottom of the eighth. He's probably just day-to-day, but his owners should stay tuned for an update.

Dee Gordon went 2-for-5 with an RBI and his 23rd stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Angels.
Gordon plated a run on a second-inning grounder. Gordon is hitting just .231 in the month of June, but has converted 9-of-11 stolen-base attempts. He's worth the hassle in 12-14 team mixed leagues.

Dee Gordon went hitless Thursday and finished the series against the A's 0-for-12 with no walks and a caught stealing.
Gordon was a big reason why the Dodgers scored just two runs in three games and got swept. He did OK in the first half of June, but he's still been a liability in the leadoff spot overall.

Dee Gordon walked off the Dodgers against the White Sox Sunday, singling home Tony Gwynn Jr. with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning.
It was a huge hit for the young speedster, who was only at the dish because the Sox intentionally walked Bobby Abreu. Gordon is batting .262 with seven steals in 16 June games, and is very much back on the radar in 12-team mixed leagues.

Dee Gordon is hitting .300 (24-for-80) over his last 21 games.
The speedy shortstop has raised his batting average from .200 to .236 in the process and has reclaimed the leadoff spot. He also has eight stolen bases and 13 runs scored in the same timespan. There were whispers of a possible demotion about a month ago, but his roster spot is now pretty safe.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he'll give the slumping Dee Gordon "a few" days off.
Gordon, who is in a 2-for-31 slide at the plate, didn't play Saturday. He might eventually be sent down if this mental break proves to be unsuccessful. "I told him this is going to make him a better player," Mattingly said. "He needs to think properly but he's not going through anything that other good players haven't gone through. It's coming from pressure he's putting on himself."

According to Tony Jackson of ESPN Los Angeles, the Dodgers could demote Dee Gordon on Saturday.
Jackson is speculating here, not reporting. Gordon has struggled out of the leadoff spot this season, and the Dodgers may look to get him regular at-bats in the minors, as opposed to removing him from the starting lineup. Gordon went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in last night's win over the Cardinals. He has just two hits in his last 20 plate appearances.

Dee Gordon went 0-for-5 and struck out three times Friday versus the Rockies.
Gordon can wreak havoc like no one else when he's on the basepaths, but his OBP is all of the way down to .258 now, and even with Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier producing below him, he's scored just 14 times in 31 games. The Dodgers might want to try letting Mark Ellis or even A.J. Ellis lead off and batting Bobby Abreu second.

Dee Gordon came off the bench to hit a two-run double Wednesday against the Rockies.
Gordon, who entered on a double-switch, tied the game in the ninth after Matt Kemp was intentionally walked in front of him. This comes after he hit his first homer of the year in Tuesday's game.

Dee Gordon is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Just a day off for Gordon, who is currently tied with Emilio Bonifacio and Starlin Castro for the major-league lead with 10 stolen bases. Justin Sellers will start in his place at shortstop Wednesday while Tony Gwynn, Jr. bats leadoff.
