Nick Gordon Fantasy Stats

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Tuesday that they agreed to terms with free-agent infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon on a minor-league deal. Gordon will give the Orioles some extra utility depth in both the infield and outfield heading into spring training in February. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter was the fifth overall pick by the Minnesota Twins in 2014 out of a high school in Florida. He debuted in the big leagues in 2021 and has slashed .244/.283/.386 with a .669 OPS, 23 homers, 112 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 106 runs in 338 games over his four seasons. Last year he played in 95 games with the Miami Marlins and hit .227 (59-for-260) with eight homers, 32 RBI, five steals and 29 runs scored. Gordon's best season came in 2022, when he slashed .272/.316/.427 with nine homers, 50 RBI and six steals in 136 games. At best, he'll likely be a bench player for the O's.

Miami Marlins outfielder Nick Gordon had a day at the plate in Sunday's 12-3 victory against the Oakland A's. Gordon went 4-for-4 with one homer, two runs, and three RBI with one walk. The 28-year-old has had a rough start to the season, hitting .207 (17-for-82) with three doubles, four homers, eight runs, 15 RBI, four walks, and 17 strikeouts in 31 games this season. On Monday, Miami will start a three-game road trip against the Los Angeles Dodgers, bringing more challenges for the struggling team. Gordon does frequent the starting lineup but is mainly an option in NL-Only or deep-league formats.

Miami Marlins outfielder Nick Gordon had an ideal game Sunday, smacking two hits and driving in three runs in Sunday's 10-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. He is slashing .200/.200/.550 in 20 at-bats, good for an OPS of .750 in 2024. Gordon was traded to the Marlins during the offseason. The 28-year-old's performance on Sunday could be a sign of things to come. The Marlins don't have much outfield depth, and that could allow Gordon to grasp an everyday job if he continues to stay hot. Look for Gordon to be in the lineup daily for a lowly Marlins team that has won one game this year.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Nick Gordon has been traded to the Miami Marlins for reliever Steven Okert, according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. Gordon, who just lost his arbitration hearing with the Twins, will earn $900,000 this upcoming season and is out of minor league options. He will need to earn a spot on Miami's roster and should have a chance to compete for a bench spot during spring training. Gordon is a career .250/.293/.392 hitter with 15 home runs, 80 RBI, and 16 stolen bases over 696 career at-bats. Okert worked a 4.45 ERA, 1.261 WHIP, and 73:24 K/BB ratio over 58 2/3 innings of relief last year with the Fish. He should work middle relief for the Twins this upcoming season.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Nick Gordon lost his salary arbitration hearing against the Twins on Saturday, according to a source, and will earn $900,000 for the 2024 season instead of the $1.25 million that he filed for. A left-tibia fracture that Gordon suffered in May of last season limited him to just 34 games in his third major-league season. In 93 plate appearances, he went 16-for-91 (.176) with two home runs, seven RBI and 13 runs scored for the Twins. The 28-year-old did begin a minor-league rehab assignment late in the year, though, so he should be ready to go for the start of the 2024 season. Gordon showed more power in 2022 and was on his way to more playing time in 2023, but he'll enter spring training this year having to battle for a utility role in Minnesota.

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon (tibia) was seen shagging fly balls in center field during Friday's batting practice at Target Field. The 27-year-old is working his way back from a right tibia fracture he sustained on May 17. It's encouraging to see Gordon progressing through his rehab from such a significant injury, but he remains without a return timetable at this stage. The former first-round pick can be ignored for fantasy purposes, as he likely wouldn't have a clear role if he makes it back during the regular season. Gordon was batting just .176 with two home runs, seven RBI, and 13 runs scored covering 91 at-bats before going down this spring.

Minnesota Twins infielder Nick Gordon (shin) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gordon was removed from the contest after he fouled a ball off his shin. The X-rays revealed that Gordon has suffered a fractured right shin. At the moment, it's uncertain how much time Gordon is going to miss because of this injury. Fantasy managers can expect Gordon to be placed on the injured list later this week. The 27-year-old was solid last season, but has been off to a cold start to the 2023 campaign.

Minnesota Twins utility man Nick Gordon has endured a tough start to the 2023 campaign, slashing .127/.143/.200 with no home runs, eight runs, two RBI, and zero stolen bases across 20 games. And after starting 10 of the first 13 contests, he's only started three of the last 16. Gordon was solid last season, posting a .272 batting average and .743 OPS while swiping six bags over 138 games. However, fantasy managers that were banking on an even bigger breakout this year might have to give up hope and let loose of the 27-year-old.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Nick Gordon is hitting out of the leadoff spot Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. Gordon has appeared in four games for the Twins so far this season while hitting sixth in the lineup each time. The 27-year-old is just 1-for-10 on the young season but was productive in his first full MLB campaign in 2022, hitting .272 with nine home runs, six stolen bases, and a .743 OPS across 138 games. His 111 wRC+ graded out 11% superior to the league average. Gordon is seeing full-time reps at second base to begin the season with Jorge Polanco on the injured list due to a knee injury but will likely see a stiff drop in playing time upon Polanco's return.

Minnesota Twins utility man Nick Gordon (ankle) said he expects to play second base in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Gordon is recovering from a high-ankle sprain in spring training, but he's nearing his return to game action for the Twins. If he can avoid setbacks once he's back on the field, the 27-year-old should be ready to go for Opening Day at the end of March. Given his positional versatility, Gordon should see regular playing time in Minnesota after he produced a solid .272/.316/.427 slash line, .743 OPS, nine home runs, 50 RBI, 45 runs and six stolen bases in 136 games in his second big-league season in 2022.
