  • Marlins' Nick Gordon: Traded to Miami

    The Twins traded Gordon to the Marlins on Sunday in exchange for relief pitcher Steven Okert, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

    Gordon will head to Miami after spending the first three seasons of his major-league career with Minnesota. The 28-year-old appeared in 34 games with the Twins in 2023, producing a disappointing .176 batting average with eight extra-base hits over 91 at-bats. He'll look to carve out a more significant role with the Marlins this season.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Loses arbitration case

    Gordon will make $900,000 in 2024 after losing his arbitration case to the Twins on Saturday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    Gordon entered arbitration looking for $1.25 million. The outfielder had just 93 plate appearances last season due to suffering a right tibia fracture May 17. He nursed the injury for the rest of the season, which included a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Rehab assignment starts Thursday

    Gordon (tibia) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Gordon has been out since May 17, so he may require a longer rehab assignment than the typical position player. Once activated, Gordon will likely occupy a supporting role, serving as a backup infielder while getting some starts in center field.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Spotted on field Friday

    Gordon (tibia) was spotted shagging flyballs in center field during batting practice Friday prior to the Twins' game against the Rangers, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Gordon continues to incorporate more baseball activities into his rehab regimen but the Twins haven't yet mapped out a potential rehab assignment for him yet. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since mid-May with a right tibia fracture.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Set to begin running

    Gordon (lower leg) will begin "ground-based running" this week, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Gordon is still aiming to return this season, but he's still likely several weeks away from a rehab assignment. He's returning from a right tibia fracture suffered on May 17.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Nearing baseball activities

    Gordon (lower leg) is expected to begin baseball activities next week, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

    Gordon continues his rehab from a right tibia fracture and notably shed his cast earlier in the month. He'll take yet another step forward within the next week by gaining clearance for baseball activities. Gordon will need some time to ramp up his activities before ultimately going out on a rehab assignment, at which point he'll likely need a healthy diet of at-bats prior to being activated from the 60-day injured list. A more exact timetable for his return should come into focus once he gets the green light for live at-bats.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Out of boot, cast

    Gordon is no longer wearing a boot or a cast on his fractured right tibia, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Gordon is able to walk around normally now but has not been cleared to start running, nor is he sure about a potential timetable for a return. The utility player has been sidelined since mid-May.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Moves to 60-day IL

    The Twins transferred Gordon (lower leg) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Royce Lewis (knee) -- who was activated from the 60-day IL on Monday -- and confirms that Gordon will miss at least two months due to the fractured right tibia he suffered May 17. The Twins haven't specified that Gordon will require surgery, so the 27-year-old looks like he'll still have a chance to return to action at some point during the second half of the season. Before getting hurt, Gordon had been seeing steady playing time in center field, but he'll likely see lighter usage while serving as more of a roving utility man whenever he's deemed ready to return from the IL.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Placed on IL with leg fracture

    Gordon was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Twins on Friday with a right tibia fracture.

    Gordon suffered the unfortunate injury when he fouled a ball off his leg during Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers. While the Twins have not offered a timeline for the utility player's return, he figures to be on the shelf for a while.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Leaves with shin contusion

    Gordon was removed in the bottom of the fifth inning of Wednesday's game against the Dodgers with a right shin contusion, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Gordon fouled a ball hard off his right leg in the top of the fifth inning. He finished the plate appearance -- with an inning-ending strikeout -- before getting replaced by Kyle Farmer to begin the bottom of the frame. Gordon, who finished 0-for-2, can be considered day-to-day.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Suffers fractured shin

    Gordon has been diagnosed with a fractured right shin, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Gordon suffered the injury when he fouled a ball off his shin during the fifth inning of Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers. He's headed to the injured list, although it's not clear at this point how much time he might miss. Gordon had been seeing increased playing time in center field of late, but now those starts should go back to Michael Taylor.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Gets Tuesday off

    Gordon is not in the starting lineup against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Gordon has become a regular in the Minnesota lineup as of late, but he'll get Tuesday off with Michael Taylor earning a start in center field against Clayton Kershaw.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Handling center field

    Gordon is starting in center field and batting sixth for the Twins on Thursday against the Padres.

    Gordon mostly played second base early on this season when Jorge Polanco was sidelined, but each of his last seven starts have come in center field. He's struggled to get going at the plate this season with a .491 OPS, though both of his home runs have come in his last 10 games.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Hits another homer

    Gordon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a loss to the White Sox on Wednesday.

    Gordon hit his second homer in as many games when he took Dylan Cease deep in the fourth inning. The sudden power surge is surprising given that Gordon had no homers in his first 20 games of the season. It's been an interesting campaign for the utility man, as he's dropped his strikeout rate dramatically to a minuscule 6.6 percent (down from 23.7 percent last season) but has worked just one walk while slashing .153/.167/.322 over 61 plate appearances.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Hits first homer of 2023

    Gordon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.

    Gordon pinch hit for Michael Taylor in the eighth inning and knotted the game up at two with a blast to center field for his first home run of the season. The 27-year-old has tallied a hit in three straight games and has three RBI over that span as well. Still, Gordon has struggled mightily over the course of the season thus far, slashing .140/.155/.263 even with nearly all of his plate appearances coming against righties.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Productive in rare start

    Gordon started in center field and went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-4 victory over the Royals. He's hitting .127 (7-for-55) with no home runs this season.

    Gordon also had a key safety squeeze bunt to drive in a run. It was just the second time he's played in the last eight games. He's lost playing time amid a slow April at the plate and with Joey Votto and Trevor Larnach off to strong starts. Gordon at least showed some signs of life Sunday so that he can maybe be more of a factor off the bench.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: Playing time dwindling

    Gordon remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Gordon is on the bench for the fifth game in a row and appears to have moved back into a full-time bench role after he had started in 11 of the Twins' first 13 games while Minnesota was without several regulars due to injury. Minnesota still has a number of key bats on the shelf, but with Joey Gallo (intercostal) getting activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and Jorge Polanco (knee) and Alex Kirilloff (wrist) in the midst of minor-league rehab assignments and not far behind, Gordon's opportunities to make starts could become even more scarce.

  • Twins' Nick Gordon: On bench Friday

    Gordon isn't in the Twins' lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    Gordon's cold start at the plate (.253 OPS) will cost him a start Friday. In his place, Edouard Julien will take over at second base and bat eighth.
