Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

The lefty-hitting Gordon will take a seat against Atlanta southpaw Max Fried after starting in the outfield in each of the Marlins' last eight games while going 4-for-26 at the dish. Gordon is under club control through 2027, but the Marlins likely aren't overly invested in a 28-year-old who owns a .624 OPS this season and has largely served as a utility player during his time in the big leagues. As such, Gordon could be at risk of losing playing time against right-handed pitching down the stretch if the Marlins want to get more of an evaluation on younger outfield options on the 40-man roster such as Vidal Brujan, Cristian Pache, David Hensley and Victor Mesa.
