Exits with tight hamstring Gordon left Saturday's game against the Rays due to right hamstring tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gordon went 1-for-3 with a walk prior to his exit. It's not yet clear if his injury will turn out to be serious enough to require a trip to the injured list.

Back to bench Gordon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gordon had started in nine of the last 11 games, but he's likely to see his playing time take a hit with Max Kepler (personal) coming off the restricted list to begin the week. Though he's seen most of his time in the outfield of late, the 26-year-old has experience at both middle-infield spots, but his opportunities there could soon become scarce as well with Carlos Correa (illness) on track to return from the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday.

Swipes second bag Gordon went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base Thursday against the Tigers.

Impact Gordon has started five consecutive games thanks to the absences of Gilberto Celestino (illness), Carlos Correa (illness) and Royce Lewis (knee). He's been inconsistent with the opportunity, though he now has three multi-hit efforts in his last eight starts, also driving in five and scoring four runs in that span. Gordon has a .257/.288/.363 line with one home run and two stolen bases across 120 plate appearances for the season.

Gets fourth consecutive start Gordon will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Gordon doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one spot, but he should be in store for a solid dose of playing time while the likes of Carlos Correa (illness) and Gilberto Celestino (illness) are on the COVID-19-related injured list and while Royce Lewis (knee) is on the 10-day IL. He'll be making his fourth consecutive start Wednesday, this time filling in for a resting Byron Buxton.

Sonny Gray and Zack Greinke hurt as Twins beat Royals 7-3

MAY 29, 2022 • Associated Press

Back on bench Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Gordon started the past two games in the Minnesota outfield, going 3-for-8 with a double, three RBI and a run. Though Max Kepler (quadriceps) remains out of the lineup Sunday, the Twins brought up top prospect Royce Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul. He'll start in center field in Sunday's series finale and looks poised to get regular work out of the outfield while Kepler is out, so Gordon should find himself in a reserve role on a more permanent basis.

Polanco, Correa power Twins past struggling Royals 10-7

Jorge Polanco homered in a four-run first inning and Carlos Correa hit a go-ahead homer in the fourth to power the Minnesota Twins to a 10-7 win over the Kansas City Royals

MAY 28, 2022 • Associated Press

Not in Saturday's lineup Gordon isn't starting Saturday against the Royals, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gordon recently drew seven straight starts, and he hit .280 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base during that time. However, he'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game while Gilberto Celestino starts in left field and bats ninth.

Starting in left field Gordon is starting in Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Gordon saw inconsistent playing time in early May, but he'll draw a third consecutive start in left field Saturday. Trevor Larnach (groin) remains on the 10-day injured list, so Gordon should serve as the Twins' primary left fielder after Alex Kirilloff was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Moves back into utility role Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact Gordon will sit for the third time in five games and appears to have faded into more of a utility role with the recent return of Gary Sanchez (abdomen) leaving one fewer spot in the lineup available for the Twins.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Thursday Gordon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Impact With southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for Detroit, the lefty-hitting Gordon will head to the bench after a stretch of five starts in six games. Gordon will likely move into more of a full-time reserve role as soon as the Twins get either Alex Kirilloff (wrist) or Gary Sanchez (abdomen) back in the lineup.

Buxton's 2nd HR, 469-foot shot, lifts Twins over ChiSox 6-4

Byron Buxton hit his second home of the game, a 469-foot, three-run drive that overcame a 10th-inning deficit and lifted the Minnesota Twins over the Chicago White Sox 6-4

APRIL 24, 2022 • Associated Press

Fourth straight start Gordon will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Gordon has been the main beneficiary of Gary Sanchez's ongoing absence due to abdominal tightness. With Sanchez sitting Sunday for the fourth game in a row, Gordon will pick up his fourth straight start, with three of them coming at different positions. He'll typically see most of his reps in the outfield if Sanchez misses more time, as Gordon's start at shortstop Sunday is a byproduct of Carlos Correa getting a routine day off.

Sits after two straight starts Gordon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Byron Buxton (knee) remains out for the third game in a row, but after starting in center field the previous two contests, the lefty-hitting Gordon will take a seat with a southpaw (Rich Hill) on the mound for Boston. Gordon should continue to see the bulk of the work in center field against right-handed pitching while Buxton is out, but at this stage, the Twins remain hopeful that Buxton will avoid a trip to the injured list.
