2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gordon looked set to take a more prominent role in the Twins lineup last season but struggled early in the season and then suffered a season-ending broken leg May 17. Gordon went from a light hitting utility player to adding power in 2022 by slugging .427 and hitting nine home runs with 28 doubles, which helped make him an above average hitter with a 111 wRC+. He entered spring training with a shot at winning the everyday DH role or becoming a regular in the lineup while alternating positions. He hit just .127 with a .343 OPS in April and subsequently was stuck on the bench. He then fouled a ball off his shin in mid-May and broke his right tibia. He was able to play in a rehab assignment late in September but wasn't added to the postseason roster. Traded to Miami in February, he'll enter spring training needing to fight for a utility role as his chance for an everyday job may have passed him by. Read Past Outlooks
Pops fifth homer
Gordon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old outfielder took Walker Buehler deep in the top of the second inning to briefly tie the game at 3-3, but Los Angeles took the lead for good in the bottom of the frame. Gordon has gone yard in back-to-back games and is up to five homers on the year in only 32 games -- a surprising power display for a player whose career high is nine home runs in 138 games, set in 2022. The rest of Gordon's numbers are far less impressive, and he's slashing .212/.244/.424 with nine runs, 16 RBI and only one steal in two attempts.

How does Nick Gordon compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Good chance for turnaround?
Mark Simon of Sports Info Solutions highlighted Gordon as one of the most unlucky hitters in baseball through the first month of the season.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old is just 6-for-52 through 19 games this season but has an expected batting averaged of .254. Gordon's average exit velocity is down slightly to 89 mph, though his BABIP is still exceedingly low at .125. His defensive versatility makes him a strong bench option, but Gordon may need to improve his offensive production in order to retain his spot with the big club.

Gordon made strides at the plate last season that earned him a steady presence in the lineup in a utility role. Gordon improved his power by slugging .427 and hitting nine home runs with 28 doubles, which helped make him an above average hitter with a 111 wRC+. His versatility to play five positions saw him get 443 plate appearances amid an injury-plagued Twins roster. Gordon has decent speed but had just six stolen bases as he struggled with efficiency (four CS) and Minnesota's reluctance to steal bases. While Gordon has versatility, his glove isn't seen as strong enough for everyday duty in the infield nor is he seen as a plus defender in the outfield. He'll return in a utility role but may not get as much playing time with a healthier roster.
