MIAMI -- Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon will be eligible for reinstatement from his 80-game suspension on Thursday prior to Miamis game against St. Louis.Gordon, last years National League batting champ, was suspended for violating the leagues performance enhancing drug policy.He will be looking to help the Marlins (53-46) make a postseason push although he will not be eligible to participate as part of his violation.Were going to blend him back in for sure, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. We feel like were capable of getting into the playoffs and if we get to the playoffs he cant play so its kind of a balancing act of trying to get in and what do you do when you get there?Derek Dietrich has been the Marlins everyday second baseman filling in for Gordon and has hit .275 with 15 doubles, four home runs, and 30 RBI.Dietrich has been very good for us in different areas and we will kind of go back to our original plan of using Dietrich all over the place, but not being able to throw him in there every day, Mattingly said.Gordon hit .266 with five RBI in 21 games before the suspension. He hit .333 with eight triples and a league-high 58 stolen bases last season, his first with the Marlins.Obviously Dees an exciting player and he can do a lot of things to generate runs almost on his own, Mattingly said. He can be even more of a lightning rod for us.Ichiro Suzuki, Derek Dietrich, J.T. Realmuto, Adeiny Hechavarria, and Miguel Rojas have taken their turns filling for Gordon in the lead-off spot.Theyve did a nice job of holding down the fort, Mattingly said. It will be nice to get Dee back and get that guy where you have continuity in your lineup where guys know where theyre going to be.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Usain Bolt rarely complains about going too fast.After the rushed road to Sunday nights 100-meter final, he had to make an exception.Faced with a turnaround time of barely over an hour between the semifinal and final, Bolt had trouble gearing up to be at his best for the marquee event of the Olympics.He won his record-setting third straight gold medal , but his post-race comments were tinged with slams about the scheduling.I dont know who decided that, Bolt said. It was really stupid. So, thats why the race was slow. Theres no way you can run and go back around and run fast times again.It was a decision made with broadcasters in mind more than runners. In the recent past, 100-meter sprinters have been given more than two hours between semifinals and finals.Its the first time Ive had to jog to the warmup area to get ready for the final, Bolt said.He said after the semifinal, he felt great. I was like `Yo, I probably could run a fast time, he said.For him, fast often equates to something in the world-record range of 9.58 seconds.And slow would qualify as the 9.81-second time he ran to win Sundays gold medal. It wasnt among the 10 fastest times hes ever put on the board.He wasnt the only one complaining.American Justin Gatlin, the silver medalist, said the quick turnaround sapped his strength so much, he couldnt even think about winning.I didnt because I was tired going into the finals and I was just like `let me focus on what I need to focus on, he said. We really only had 30 minutes to get ready for the finals.Tracks governing body, the IAAF, sets the schedule and the International Olympic Committee signs off on it.If theyre happy, were happy, said IOC spokesman Mark Adams.In the most widely cited case of schedule shifting, the opening round of the womens 200 was moved from Monday evening to the day session at the request of one of Americas best-known athletes, Allyson Felix, who wanted to try for gold medals both the 200 and the 4000.dddddddddddd The 400 final is Monday night.It was considered a win-win for the Olympics and NBC, which pays the most sizable chunk of the $4.1 billion in worldwide broadcast rights the IOC received for the 2014 and 2016 Olympics.Felix hurt her ankle in the spring and was not at full health at Olympic Trials. She made the field for the 400 but not the 200.Less publicized was the decision to push the starting time of the night sessions back to 8:30 p.m. local time, which, in turn, put Bolt and Co., on TV smack in the middle of prime time in the United States. A late start also means a compressed schedule.Asked whether NBC had a role in the scheduling, communications vice president Chris McCloskey said the IOC and international federations make the schedule.Chris Turner of the IAAF said the tight schedule has been used in the past -- most notably, at the Atlanta Games in 1996, when Donovan Bailey won gold and set a world record.Well, of course, take the athletes views on board, Turner said. In fact, we will actively seek them at every major championship.They didnt have to look too hard in this case.I wasnt pleased, Bolt said, in answer to the first question he was asked at the winners news conference. Thats never good. You need time to recover, especially as Im getting older. Im not happy with the schedule, and hopefully, theyll change it back.Some good news for those looking for records: Theres no back-to-back racing in the 200 meters, which has its first round Tuesday, semifinals Wednesday and the final on Thursday. And Bolt says hes feeling so good, hes looking to lower his world record, which stands at 19.19 seconds.If I can get good nights rest after the semifinals, its a possibility I can do it, Bolt said. Thats something I really want.---AP Sports Writers Stephen Wilson and Gerald Imray contributed to this report. ' ' '
