Seven years and a shepherd's pie: Twins prospect Nick Gordon's long road to the majors Once a top prospect, Gordon battled back from COVID-19 and other health problems to finally get the call he'd been waiting for.
Twins call up Alex Kirilloff and Nick Gordon, but J.A. Happ steals the show "He threw the hell out of the ball for us at a time when we will definitely take it with open arms," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said.

Receives promotion Friday Gordon was promoted to Minnesota's major-league roster from the alternate training site Friday.
Impact The 25-year-old's callup was initially reported Thursday, but he's now been officially added to the big-league club. Gordon last saw game action in 2019 with an .801 OPS at Triple-A, and his first appearance with the Twins will mark his debut in the majors.

Nick Gordon, Twins first round pick in 2014, gets call to big leagues The 25-year-old infielder has been troubled by illness for the past two years.

Expected to join big-league club Gordon is expected to be promoted to the Twins for their weekend series against the Pirates, Darren Wolfson of KSTP.com reports.
Impact If Gordon is officially called up, it will be for his major-league debut. He spent both the 2018 and 2019 seasons at Triple-A Rochester, so he has plenty of experience in the upper minors. However, Gordon isn't projected to make a big impact with his bat, as he has struck out around a 20 percent clip during his time at Rochester and has very little power.

Optioned to minor-league camp Gordon was optioned to the minors Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact The No. 5 overall pick from 2014 hit .200 in 10 at-bats during Grapefruit League play. He will serve as organizational infield depth this season and is not expected to see much playing time at the big-league level.

Getting work at 2B Gordon will be given a look at second base this spring as he attempts to make the roster as a utility player, the Fort Myers Beach News reports.
Impact Gordon was sidelined for much of July and August after testing positive for COVID-19 and only worked for a few weeks at the alternate site before being shut down for the season. He's apparently healthy in camp and will try to win a reserve spot on the major-league roster. When we last saw Gordon at Triple-A Rochester in 2019, he showed significant improvement at the plate, but his .298/.342/.459 slash line (102 wRC+) still only translated to just above league-average production. He'll likely need to prove himself again in Triple-A before getting a shot in the majors.
