Alex Gordon

Alex Gordon out of Royals' lineup on Thursday

Kansas City Royals left fielder Alex Gordon is not a part of Thursday's starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Gordon's off day will result in a start for Brandon Moss this afternoon. But, Moss will be at DH, meaning Melky Cabrera will take Gordon's spot in left as the team combats righty German Marquez at Kauffman Stadium.

Our algorithms project Gordon for 2 home runs, 4 doubles and 9 RBI the rest of the way this season.
