Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon found the fountain of youth for a little while early in the year, but that is nothing but a distant memory now. After a 1-for-4 day on Monday, Gordon is now just 5-for-55 in the month of August with a single home run. That's the worst batting average in Major League Baseball amongst anyone who has recorded 50 or more at-bats this month, but he still starts in left field on most days. His manager has a history of sticking with players who are clearly ...

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has gotten off to an ice-cold start for the month of August, but he ran into one on Thursday that he was able to drive out of the yard. The homer was Gordon's first since July 23, and it was just his second hit this month. The 35-year-old has been a surprise this year after having two straight poor seasons, but he may be starting to taper off as the long season takes its toll. He's not a bad pickup if this is the start of a new hot streak, but for now, ...

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon absolutely dominates Max Scherzer, and nobody knows why, not even Gordon himself. Gordon went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk against Scherzer on Saturday, compiling half the team's hits against the Cy Young winner, raising his career batting average to .390 against Scherzer. After the game, Gordo was forthcoming with the fact that he doesn't know why he has so much success against such a nearly-unhittable pitcher. Gordon's picked it up recently again[...]

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, July 1 (unless otherwise noted). The season is just over halfway done, and the home runs are still coming in bunches. That doesn't mean everyone's always hitting them all the time, and good thing for this column.[...]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon got off to a red-hot start this season, and it looked like swing changes he had made over the offseason had cured his woes. Unfortunately, he appears to have either fallen back into bad habits or simply petered out. After posting a .301 batting average in March/April, Gordon hit just .263 in May, and he's on pace to finish June around .240. His home runs have cratered, he's nearly stopped walking entirely, and his strikeouts have jumped. For any owners [...]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians. Cheslor Cuthbert moves up to third in the order, where Gordon has typically been since Adalberto Mondesi's injury, while [...]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has become a surprising subject of some trade rumors since he's in the final year of his contract and has regained some of his former glory. However, Gordon has already gotten in front of the rumors by openly stating to reporters that he has zero intent of playing anywhere but Kansas City. Since Gordon's a 10-5 player, he has the right to veto any and all trades, so if he doesn't intend on moving, it's a non-starter. Gordon has cooled off after a red-ho[...]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon (back) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Gordon was hit by a pitch on Wednesday and is now dealing with a nerve issue in his back. Terrance Gore will cover left field and bat eighth versus lefty Matthew Boyd. Gore is not worth a look in DFS contests or fantasy leagues. Gordon is considered day-to-day at the moment, but could land on the injured list.

The corpse of Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon continued its rise from the dead on Thursday by drilling a line drive home run into the seats in the bottom of the seventh against the Red Sox. Gordon's home run was a laser that just snuck over the wall in right-center, but the solo shot wasn't enough to get the Royals back into the win column. Following two pitiful seasons, most folks thought Gordon was going to be a black hole in the final year of his contract, but he's instead undergon[...]
