2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gordon looked set to take a more prominent role in the Twins lineup last season but struggled early in the season and then suffered a season-ending broken leg May 17. Gordon went from a light hitting utility player to adding power in 2022 by slugging .427 and hitting nine home runs with 28 doubles, which helped make him an above average hitter with a 111 wRC+. He entered spring training with a shot at winning the everyday DH role or becoming a regular in the lineup while alternating positions. He hit just .127 with a .343 OPS in April and subsequently was stuck on the bench. He then fouled a ball off his shin in mid-May and broke his right tibia. He was able to play in a rehab assignment late in September but wasn't added to the postseason roster. Traded to Miami in February, he'll enter spring training needing to fight for a utility role as his chance for an everyday job may have passed him by. Read Past Outlooks
Heads to bench Thursday
Gordon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting Gordon usually exits the lineup when the Marlins oppose southpaws, but he'll hit the bench Thursday with a right-hander (Peter Lambert) taking the hill for Colorado. Gordon's move to the bench comes while he's gone 2-for-30 at the dish over his last 10 games, dropping his batting average to .167 for the season. Dane Myers will get the start in left field Thursday, and he could soon displace Gordon as the Marlins' preferred option at the position if Gordon's struggles at the dish continue.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Good chance for turnaround?
Mark Simon of Sports Info Solutions highlighted Gordon as one of the most unlucky hitters in baseball through the first month of the season.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old is just 6-for-52 through 19 games this season but has an expected batting averaged of .254. Gordon's average exit velocity is down slightly to 89 mph, though his BABIP is still exceedingly low at .125. His defensive versatility makes him a strong bench option, but Gordon may need to improve his offensive production in order to retain his spot with the big club.

Gordon made strides at the plate last season that earned him a steady presence in the lineup in a utility role. Gordon improved his power by slugging .427 and hitting nine home runs with 28 doubles, which helped make him an above average hitter with a 111 wRC+. His versatility to play five positions saw him get 443 plate appearances amid an injury-plagued Twins roster. Gordon has decent speed but had just six stolen bases as he struggled with efficiency (four CS) and Minnesota's reluctance to steal bases. While Gordon has versatility, his glove isn't seen as strong enough for everyday duty in the infield nor is he seen as a plus defender in the outfield. He'll return in a utility role but may not get as much playing time with a healthier roster.
