Gordon is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
With the Mariners playing a day game after a night game in the series finale and a lefty (Martin Perez) on the hill for the home team, Seattle manager Scott Servais decided it was a good time to give Gordon his first breather of the season. The dynamic leadoff man generated another stellar effort out of the leadoff spot Saturday, going 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a double and a run. With Gordon on the bench, Jean Segura will ascend to the leadoff spot, while room in the outfield will open up for Ichiro Suzuki, who is slated to hit sixth.
