Gordon (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was placed on the IL on July 23 for what was supposed to be a relatively short stay. While his absence was longer than expected, it may have given him enough time to fully heal, an important factor given the value of his speed. Gordon should be set to regain his role as the regular starter at second base.

Gordon (quadriceps) will be examined by the team doctor Friday to determine whether he's ready to begin a rehab assignment, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming his visit with the doctor goes well, Gordon should be cleared to either embark on a rehab stint or even get activated from the IL immediately. He's been on the injured list since July 23 due to a strained left quad.

Gordon (quadriceps) took batting practice Tuesday and may soon embark on a rehab assignment, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported over the weekend that Gordon could be activated for Tuesday's contest, but it looks like he wasn't quite ready to come off the shelf. The 31-year-old landed on the IL with the left quad strain July 23, so he should only require a couple games in the minors to get back up to speed.

Gordon (quadriceps) could be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Padres without requiring a rehab assignment beforehand, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon experienced no issues with his strained left quad muscle while running on the bases Sunday, offering some optimism that he might be able to come off the IL early next week. The Mariners may want to see Gordon complete a another workout during Monday's off day before making a formal decision on whether he'll rejoin the big club immediately or head out to the farm for a game or two.

Gordon (quadriceps) ran and took batting practice Friday, and he's expected to start a rehab assignment early next week, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon continues to ramp up his baseball activities, and he could come off the injured list sometime next week if all goes according to plan. He's expected to work out with the team over the weekend in Houston before heading out on a minor-league stint. Seattle expects Gordon to play in one or two minor-league contests before being reinstated from the IL, per Johns.

Gordon (quadriceps) is traveling with the Mariners during their current road trip and is scheduled to work out with the team during its weekend series in Houston this coming weekend, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon has been able to resume taking batting practice and appears to be on the cusp of starting to perform some drills in the field as well. The speedster is eligible to be activated from the injured list as early as Friday, but he's slated to remain out at least a week past that point. "He's doing better," manager Scott Servais said. "If he gets through the workouts in Houston, we'll send him out on a rehab shortly after that, and then back with us. Just a game or two [of rehab], to make sure he's 100 percent."

Gordon (quadriceps) took batting practice on the field prior to the Mariners' game Sunday against the Tigers, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday on account of the strained left quadriceps, but the fact that he's already resuming activities suggests the 31-year-old could be in store for an abbreviated IL stint. He could attempt to resume a running program at some point next week, which would provide the Mariners with a better gauge for when he might be ready for activation.

Gordon has experienced improvement in his right quadriceps strain and could begin baseball activities this coming week, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The knot that Gordon had in his quadriceps muscle has reportedly dissolved, leading manager Scott Servais to suggest Gordon could ramp up his activity level in the coming days. The veteran was a prime candidate to be moved prior to the July 31 trade deadline, but the timing of his injury has presumably all but tied him to the Mariners for the remainder of 2019.

Gordon landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left quad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon left Monday's game after getting hit in the back by a pickoff throw, but the injury was apparently a muscular one down in his leg. According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, the 31-year-old is expected to miss a few weeks but has no official timetable for his return. Tim Lopes was recalled in a corresponding move, with Dylan Moore and Tim Beckham the primary candidates to take over at the keystone in his absence.

Gordon exited Monday's win over the Rangers in the top of the third inning after being struck in the back by an Adrian Sampson pickoff attempt in the bottom half of the second, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran appeared to be in discomfort after getting back to his feet following his dive back to first base, but he was still able to finish out the frame. However, the pain may have worsened between innings, as it was Dylan Moore, and not Gordon, at second base to start the third. Gordon should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest versus the Rangers.
