Depth is essential for playoff runs; Gordon’s continued development reduces risk by providing a controllable option if injuries pop. If Arrighetti and Javier stay healthy, Gordon becomes a longer-term insurance policy rather than a front-line contributor, softening injury risk for the starting staff and allowing more aggressive usage of the bullpen.
