The Dodgers are expecting ''good things'' from Dee Gordon this season, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. Gordon bounced back from a mid-season demotion with the Dodgers to post a .304/.325/.362 batting line in the month of September and looks to be primed for a breakout season in 2012. According to Olney, Gordon has been working out extensively with Barry Larkin and Juan Castro this winter.

Dee Gordon went 2-for-5 with his 23rd stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Giants. Gordon is now 31-for-83 in the month of September, which translates to a sizzling .373 average. With his 23 swipes coming in just 49 games this season, Gordon is going to be a highly intriguing option at shortstop next spring.

Dee Gordon went 3-for-4 with three runs scored in the Dodgers' 15-1 romp of the Pirates. It's been a tale of two call-ups for Gordon this season. During his first tour in the majors (June 6 to July 2), he batted .232 with nine steals and a 16/2 K/BB mark. Since his second call-up on July 31, the 23-year-old is batting .337 with 12 steals and a K/BB of 8/2. He has nine multi-hit games this month, including four in a row. Gordon is primed for a terrific 2012 season.

Dee Gordon went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and two stolen bases in Friday's win over the Braves. He's now gone 5-for-10 in his two games since being activated from the DL and has swiped 14 bags on the year in just 32 games. We don't think Gordon is ready to hit with consistency at the major league level, but he'll steal enough bases to be mixed league-worthy.

Dodgers activated SS Dee Gordon from the 15-day disabled list. Gordon has been sidelined for nearly a month with a bruised right shoulder. He will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Thursday afternoon against the Pirates and figures to get regular playing time down the stretch. The speedy rookie is worth adding in NL-only formats.

Dee Gordon (shoulder) is likely to rejoin the Dodgers when big league rosters expand Thursday. Gordon has been sidelined since August 9 with a bruised shoulder. He began a rehab assignment last week and will conclude it Tuesday at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga.

Dee Gordon (shoulder) threw for the second straight day Tuesday. Gordon was placed on the disabled list last week with a bruised right shoulder. The Dodgers are being extra cautious with their young shortstop, but he aims to return as soon as he's eligible on August 25.

Dee Gordon's bruised right shoulder has not responded to early treatment. Gordon landed on the disabled list August 10 and has not made any significant progress yet. The Dodgers are going to run him through a range of tests this week before determining the next course of action. The young shortstop may simply need rest.

Dodgers placed SS Dee Gordon on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 10, with a bruised right shoulder. As expected. An MRI on Wednesday ruled out anything serious with the shoulder, but the Dodgers decided to place the young shortstop on the disabled list as a precaution. He is expected to be ready when eligible. Jamey Carroll will be the primary shortstop during his absence.

Dee Gordon (shoulder) will be placed on the disabled list. The good news is that Gordon had an MRI Wednesday that revealed only a bruised right shoulder, but the Dodgers want to place it safe with their talented youngster. "He'll go on the disabled list just as a precaution, just to make sure it totally goes away," manager Don Mattingly said. "He'll be back to baseball activities in a few days. We kind of thought he'd be a week, but we wanted to make sure he'll be fine when he comes back." The speedster is batting just .234/.248/.270 with 12 steals through 30 games. Jamey Carroll will handle shortstop while Gordon is out.
