Dee Strange-Gordon Released By Nationals
Dee Strange-Gordon has been released by the organization. He re-signed with the organization in mid-July after being cut by the team in June. He' has hit .308/.305/.356 with two home runs and three stolen bases in 23 games this season. He might be able to help a contending team off the bench with his speed and defensive versatility. It make sense that the rebuilding Nationals would move forward without Gordon. However, a competitive team might be able to find a spot for the veteran speedster. Fantasy managers can ignore Gordon until further notice.

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.
