Monday, August 31, 2009

News: Gordon missed both weekend games at Triple-A Omaha because of a sore shoulder and is unlikely to play on Monday as well, the Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis: Fortunately, it's not an issue with his surgically-repaired hip, but this injury is just another bump in a road that's been filled with many since Gordon has been dubbed a cornerstone of the Royals' franchise. If he's healthy, Gordon should be up with the big club again next week when the Triple-A season concludes.

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

News: The Royals optioned Gordon to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, the Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis: Gordon struggled to the tune of .227 with two homers and eight RBI in 22 games since returning from on July 16. Hopefully a stint in the minors will help Gordon rediscover his stroke and live up to the hype he received as a prospect.
