OAKLAND — The Mariners will be without their leadoff hitter and catalyst to their offense for at least 10 days, if not more.
Hours before they were set to open a quick one-series road trip in Oakland, the team announced it had placed second baseman/outfielder Dee Gordon on the disabled list with a “fractured right great toe.” They replaced him on the roster by recalling first baseman/designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach from Class AAA Tacoma.
Gordon originally injured his big toe when he fouled a ball of his foot in Toronto on May 9. He’s tried to play through the pain since then.
