Dee Gordon Diagnosed With Deep Bone Bruise
Dee Gordon (wrist) met with a hand specialist in Florida and he was diagnosed with a deep bone bruise in his wrist, but no broken bones. The veteran infielder will be held out of baseball activities for at least a few more days before he is re-evaluated to see how the injury is healing. Fantasy owners will want to keep him reserved until he can officially return and prove his health in a full game or two without any setbacks. Tim Beckham made the start at second base on Sunday in Oakland, with J.P. Crawford at shortstop, and Shed Long has also seen playing time at the keystone with Gordon down.

Dee Strange-Gordon Activated On Monday
Dee Strange-Gordon has been activated off the paternity leave list on Monday. Gordon has missed each of the last three games, but will return ahead of Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. This season, Gordon is hitting .293/.293/.345 with three RBI and two steals. The veteran utility man should resume his role in Washington, but can remain ignored in basically all fantasy formats.

Dee Strange-Gordon Scratched From Lineup, Lane Thomas Starting
Dee Strange-Gordon has been scratched from the lineup Thursday with an unspecified injury, according to Jesse Dougherty. Lane Thomas will get the start in center field and bat eighth versus Pirates right-hander J.T. Brubaker. Dougherty also reports that outfielder Donovan Casey is heading to Washington from Triple-A Rochester, so it seems likely Strange-Gordon could be heading to the injured list. Thomas has just three hits in 21 at bats so far this season and has just a .190 on-base percentage while sporting a 38% strikeout rate. He's not a recommended fantasy option at the moment.
