Gordon (suspension) is expected to begin a 10-game rehab assignment with Triple-A New Orleans on Monday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon is eligible to rejoin the Marlins on July 28, and he will spend some time with the club's Triple-A affiliate beforehand in an effort to get back into playing shape. Gordon will presumably resume his role as the Marlins' regular second baseman when he rejoins the big league club, but Derek Dietrich has at least given the Marlins something to think about, posting an .813 OPS over 58 games since Gordon's suspension was handed down.
