Gordon went 3-for-5 with one run scored and two steals in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon has hit in five of six starts since returning from an 80-game PED suspension on July 28, compiling a solid .348/.423/.391 slash line while going 3-for-4 in stolen base attempts. There was speculation that Gordon would be subject to a platoon with backup Derek Dietrich in order to keep the latter fresh for a potential playoff run (Gordon is ineligible for the post-season), however, manager Don Mattingly appears content to get his best available lineup out there everyday and that includes Dee Gordon atop the order. He's literally hit the ground running in his return and will be a massive source of speed over the final two months of the season.
