Fantasy Impact

Strange-Gordon had been attempting to work his way back to the Majors since signing a minor league deal with Washington on July 16. Strange-Gordon has previously been released by the Nationals’ organization on June 19 before re-signing roughly one month later. Strange-Gordon, who has previously also spent time with the Dodgers, Marlins, and Mariners, is a career .286 hitter with 336 career stolen bases. The 34-year-old will now have to attempt his Major League comeback somewhere else and is free to sign with any organization.

The Washington Nationals designated Dee Strange-Gordon for assignment Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Gordon hit .305 so far this season across 59 at-bats. There is a chance another team picks him up through waivers as a speedy utility player.

Nationals LF Dee Strange-Gordon went 3-for-4 Tuesday, singling three times and stealing one base in the Nationals' 10-0 loss to the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Strange-Gordon has been hot at the plate for the Nationals, hitting .476 with three runs scored and one run batted in over his last seven games. The veteran carries a .315 batting average with six runs scored, three stolen bases, and two runs batted in through 54 at-bats this season.

Dee Strange-Gordon went 3-for-4 with a run, an RBI, and a stolen base on Thursday against the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Strange-Gordon looked like a total dart throw by the Nationals, but he's almost certainly going to make the Opening Day roster. He still has speed, and with the Nationals having a less than impressive infield overall, he could worm his way into a starting role. If you're desperate for stolen bases, he's worth a stab late in your draft.

Dee Strange-Gordon went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored, and an RBI on Thursday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Strange-Gordon signed a minor-league deal with the Nationals, but their lineup is hardly overflowing with productive players outside of Juan Soto, Nelson Cruz, and Josh Bell. Strange-Gordon has a chance to make the roster and find consistent at-bats if he can show last year was just a blip. He still has plenty of speed so keep your eye on him this spring and monitor reports to see if he can carve out an everyday role for himself.
