Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has been scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Texas Rangers due to a sore hip and stiff neck.
Gordon suffered the injury while making a diving catch during Wednesday's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Ramon Torres will replace Gordon in the Royals' lineup and bat ninth versus Rangers right-hander Austin Bibens-Dirkx.
Gordon is averaging 7.9 FanDuel points in 35 games this season while slashing .270/.328/.397 with 4 home runs, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored, and 2 steals across 137 plate appearances.
