Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Nick Gordon has cooled off for Triple-A Rochester after a hot start since being promoted to Triple-A on May 22. Gordon is hitting .200 over his past 35 at-bats, which has lowered his average to .276 in 87 at-bats. Between Double-A and Triple-A this year, Gordon has hit a combined .313 with five home runs, 23 RBI and seven stolen bases. Gordon remains one of the top shortstop prospects and is inching closer to making his big league debut. Gordon has smooth hands at the shortstop position and hits for contact, but does not provide much power. His speed and contact skills should be ready to help fantasy owners for years to come, and he should be owned in dynasty leagues. Gordon will likely get many more at-bats in Triple-A this season, but he should be the favorite to enter 2019 as the Twins starting shortstop.

The Minnesota Twins promoted minor league infielder Nick Gordon to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday. Gordon, the team's No. 4 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, slashed .333/.381/.525 with five homers, 22 runs, 20 RBI, and five steals in 181 plate appearances in Double-A in 2018. Gordon is likely to spend the rest of the season in Triple-A with a good shot to win a job with the big league club in 2019. A possible option to replace Brian Dozier should he move on from the team in free agency after the season, Gordon should be stashed in all dynasty formats.

Gordon went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and a stolen base Wednesday for Double-A Chattanooga.

Minnesota Twins prospect, shortstop Nick Gordon is off to a nice start in Double-A this season. Gordon is hitting .361 while adding two triples on the young season. Gordon spent all of 2017 in Double-A where he hit .270 with nine home runs, 66 RBI and stole 13 stolen bases. Gordon has a bright future but must improve his plate discipline as he had 153 strikeouts and 53 walks last year. Gordon should make the jump to Triple-A sooner than later and has a bright future in the Twin Cities. There is a slim chance that he could make his major league debut in 2018, but it's more likely that it will happen in 2019. He should be targeted in dynasty leagues as a future shortstop that can do it all.

Gordon is 7-for-18 (.389 average) with one steal and a 3:2 K:BB in five games for Double-A Chattanooga.

Gordon is expected to report to Double-A Chattanooga to begin the season, Dan Hayes of The Athletic Minnesota reports.

The Minnesota Twins optioned shortstop Nick Gordon to minor league camp on Sunday. Gordon had a nice showing this spring, going 9-for-22 for a cool .409 batting average. Gordon has never played above Double-A and wasn't expected to make the big league club coming out of Spring Training. The 22-year-old shortstop is regarded as one of Minnesota's better positional prospects, ranking as the No. 10 shortstop prospect by MLB Pipeline, but will need some more seasoning in the minors. The Twins reassigned Gordon even after they learned of the 80-game suspension handed out to starting shortstop Jorge Polanco, although the suspension does move Gordon up in the pecking order of potential replacements at the big league level.

Gordon has been sidelined since straining his wrist sliding into third base earlier in the week, while Stassi has been dealing with back spasms throughout the week. Gordon is regarded as one of Minnesota's better positional prospects, while Stassi is trying to earn a spot on the team's 25-man roster when camp breaks.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Nick Gordon strained his right wrist sliding into third base in a spring training game on Wednesday. The injury appears to be minor, as Gordon was able to remain in the game and was able to field a ground ball without any issues in the following half inning. Gordon is regarded as one of Minnesota's better positional prospects, as he's ranked as Minnesota's No. 4 prospect by MLB Pipeline. He will probably open the season at Triple-A Rochester, but he could make his MLB debut at some point during the 2018 season.
