You can change the variable gnus-summary-line-format to include the
date in a couple of different formats (%D, %d, %o, etc):

,----[ C-h v gnus-summary-line-format RET ]
| gnus-summary-line-format is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n"
| 
| Documentation:
| *The format specification of the lines in the summary buffer.
| 
| It works along the same lines as a normal formatting string,
| with some simple extensions.
| 
[...]
| %D          Date of the article (string)
| %d          Date of the article (string) in DD-MMM format
| %o          Date of the article (string) in YYYYMMDD`T'HHMMSS
|             format
[...]
| &user-date; Age sensitive date format. Various date format is
|             defined in `gnus-summary-user-date-format-alist'.
[...]


  Best regards,
