Dee Gordon missed his second consecutive start at second base because of a sprained ankle.
Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said Gordon would be available if needed as a defensive replacement or a pinch runner, but they wanted to give him one more day to recover.
“I haven’t talked to Dee yet other than through text messages with the trainers, but he isn’t quite 100 percent yet,” Servais said before Sunday’s series finale against the Blue Jays, with the Mariners trying to end a five-game losing streak and stave off the bleeding after falling 2.5 games behind the Athletics for the second American League wild card spot.
