Alex Gordon

Royals' Alex Gordon not playing on Sunday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is not in the lineup on Sunday.

What It Means:

Gordon will take a seat as the Royals face a southpaw in the Tornot Blue Jays' Francisco Liriano on Sunday. Whit Merrifield will be in left field while Ramon Torres starts at second base.

Our models project Gordon for a .224 batting average and 29 runs scored in 277 plate appearances the rest of the season.
