Marlins' Nick Gordon: Optioned outright to Triple-A

Gordon was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Gordon cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Marlins on Monday, and he now appears to be set to report to Triple-A Jacksonville, though he can elect free agency instead since he has more than three years of MLB service time. The 28-year-old has produced a .227 average with eight home runs, 32 RBI, 29 runs scored and five stolen bases this season.
