The Kansas City Royals, instead of recalling outfielder Alex Gordon from his injury rehab assignment at Class AA Northwest Arkansas, are instead sending the three-time All-Star to Class AAA Omaha.
Gordon broke his right wrist in a collision with teammate Mike Moustakas on May 23rd in Chicago. The 32-year old, in four games with the Naturals, went 5-for-15 with a double, homer, and three runs scored. His time in Omaha will start tonight (Thursday night), when the Storm Chasers host New Orleans at 7:05.
