Dee Gordon played his second game removed from the disabled list with a fractured right toe. Timing issues come with the territory.
So few batted an eye at his 0-for-6 performance at the plate in Friday night, especially when he wasn’t the only Seattle Mariners player struggling offensively.
Gordon is a former All-Star. He’s got a Gold Glove. He’s a consummate team player, being completely open by all public indications from him and the Mariners’ staff to taking on a new position this year in center field despite having never played that position in a major league game, and then being open to moving back to second base after Robinson Cano’s suspension despite that Gordon had been focusing solely on outfield work.
