Despite earlier doubts about his ability to handle the position, Jordan has showcased both his fielding and hitting skills, contributing in a recent game even in a 6-5 loss to the Royals. Manager Oliver Marmol expressed excitement about Jordan's development on the field, while Nolan Gorman, the previous starter, faces a swing rebuild in the minors after struggling this season.
