Alex Gordon goes on the disabled list with a hip injury:

Gordon was held out of the lineup Monday after he woke up with groin soreness. He was hitting 4 for 23 with a double.

Royals manager Ned Yost said Tuesday he was encouraged to hear the early prognosis wasn’t a month-long recovery. The Royals will re-evaluate Gordon’s status in about a week.

Gordon was once a core player on the Royals, but since the 2015 season, injuries have reduced both his playing time and his ability to hit.
