Nick Gordon Leaves Game Early With Injury
2 years agoMinnesota 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.
