Gordon is expected to play all over the diamond in 2020, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Shed Long expected to take over as Seattle's primary second baseman, it sounds like Gordon will fill more of a utility role during the 2020 campaign. Gordon spent most of his time at the keystone in 2019 but also has big-league experience at shortstop and center field. The 31-year-old, who hit .275/.304/.359 with three home runs and 22 stolen bases last season, could see time in the outfield to open the upcoming campaign with Mitch Haniger unlikely to be ready for Opening Day after undergoing core surgery.

Gordon (back) remains out Friday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon sat Thursday with a tight back and will be on the bench for at least one more game. It's unclear if he's expected to start either of the final two games of the season. Donnie Walton will be the second baseman Friday.

Gordon, who was out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, is dealing with back tightness, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon had been undercut by teammate Tim Lopes while making a catch in shallow right field in the fourth inning of a loss to the Astros on Wednesday, and he felt his back begin to stiffen shortly thereafter. The veteran was feeling better Thursday and was available off the bench, but his chances of starting Friday's game remain up in the air.

Gordon went 2-for-3 with a double in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran speedster was able to find some success at the plate after going 2-for-20 over his previous seven games. The multi-hit effort was Gordon's first since Sept. 13, while his two-bagger was his first hit other than a single in the last 12 contests overall.

Gordon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon went just 2-for-20 (.100) over his last seven games, so manager Scott Servais decided to give him a day to clear his head. Shed Long will cover the keystone Sunday in Gordon's place.
