Alex Gordon

Kansas City's Alex Gordon absent from the lineup on Sunday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is out of the lineup on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Gordon is taking a seat with Clayton Kershaw on the mound for the Dodgers as Jorge Soler starts in his place.

Gordon posted a disappointing .195 batting average in the first half and is projected, by our models, for just a .219 average the rest of the way.
