Alex Gordon resting Sunday for Royals

Kansas City Royals left fielder Alex Gordon is not starting in Sunday afternoon's series finale versus right-hander Zack Wheeler and the New York Mets.

What It Means:

Gordon has been pretty dreadful at the plate in August, going just 4-for-51 (.078) through 13 games. Bubba Starling is making the start in left field for the Royals while Nicky Lopez moves up to the two-hole.

numberFire's models expect Gordon to record 3 homers, 15 RBI, 17 runs scored, and 3 steals over the rest of the season.
