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.

Minnesota Twins utility man Nick Gordon (ankle) suffered a mild to moderate left ankle sprain in the team's Grapefruit League game on Friday against the Boston Red Sox. X-rays ruled out a fracture, but he was in a walking boot and was using crutches after the game. The Twins will continue to evaluate him, and manager Rocco Baldelli said at minimum Gordon won't be playing through Monday's off day. The 27-year-old could very well miss a few weeks, which could put him in jeopardy of not being ready for Opening Day. Gordon was a valuable utility man for Minnesota in his second big-league season in 2022, as he hit .272/.316/.427 with nine home runs, 50 RBI 45 runs scored and six stolen bases in 136 games. He will continue to serve in a utility role in 2023, which will limit his playing time.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Nick Gordon (undisclosed) was slow to get up after tumbling to the ground during a throw to first base in the Grapefruit League game on Friday against the Boston Red Sox. He walked off the field gingerly with head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. It's unclear exactly what Gordon's injury is, so check back for updates on his condition. The 27-year-old served as a utility man for the Twins in 2022 and had a nice season with a .272/.316/.427 slash line with a .743 OPS, nine home runs, 50 RBI, 45 runs scored and six stolen bases in 443 plate appearances and 136 games played. He's projected to serve in a utility role yet again in 2023, but he could see regular time in outfield if Byron Buxton continues to deal with the injury bug.

Minnesota Twins shortstop/outfielder Nick Gordon had a huge game at the plate in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox. Gordon went 2-for-6 with a double, a grand slam, six RBI, and a strikeout. The 26-year-old has been a solid contributor at the plate this season, slashing .276/.321/.431 with six HR, 30 RBI, and six stolen bases in 315 plate appearances. While he has helped the Twins this season with his bat and can play in multiple positions, his lack of counting stats limits his fantasy value in redraft leagues at this time.

Minnesota Twins utility man Nick Gordon filled the stat sheet Friday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored in a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Gordon has been very strong offensively of late, slashing .325/.386/.558 with three homers and a steal in his last 30 games. While he only has five homers and four steals in 220 at-bats this year, he's steadily improved as the season has gone on, and he could make for a very interesting fantasy option if those numbers are able to pick up just slightly.

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins shortstop Nick Gordon (head) cleared the concussion protocol on Monday after leaving the Grapefruit League game against the Boston Red Sox on a cart. Gordon suffered a head contusion during a scary collision with outfielder Max Kepler. He has a minor headache and is considered day-to-day. It's good news for the 26-year-old, as he should be able to open the season on the major league roster as a backup infielder. Gordon hit .240/.292/.355 with four home runs, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 73 games in his rookie season in 2021, but he'll only be worth drafting in single-year leagues in deep AL-only leagues for middle infield depth.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Nick Gordon was forced to leave the Grapefruit League game against the Boston Red Sox on a cart on Monday after a scary collision with outfielder Max Kepler. Gordon walked to the cart under his own power before leaving the game. The extent of the 26-year-old's injury is unknown, but with Opening Day coming later this week, there's a good chance he won't be ready for the start of the regular season. Gordon was having a fine spring, too, hitting .333 (8-for-24) with three extra-base hits in 11 games. In his first taste of big-league action last year, Gordon slashed .240/.292/.355 with four home runs, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 216 plate appearances over 73 games.

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon collected a double, a stolen base, and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs. Gordon ripped a 97.9 MPH double, stole second base, and then scored on a sacrifice fly. The 25-year-old hasn't seen everyday playing time, but perhaps he should, as he's batting .326 with four runs scored, two homers, nine RBI, and five stolen bases in September. He could provide a spark in the batting average, runs, and stolen base categories for managers in the fantasy playoffs, and he comes with multi-position eligibility.

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon collected three hits, drove in a pair of runs, and swiped a base in Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay. Gordon collected a pair of RBI singles and a double, swiping his sixth stolen base of the year. The 25-year-old offers some speed and positional versatility, but his .239 average and .291 OBP really limit his upside when it comes to stealing bases. Gordon is off the fantasy radar unless he starts to swing the bat better.
