Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against Rangers left-handed starting pitcher Mike Minor. Chris Owings is getting the start in left field and will bat seventh. Owings has only 18 hits in 131 at-bats (.137) for the Royals this year with two home runs, nine RBI and four stolen bases. You should look elsewhere for a low-priced DFS flier.

Amidst a week headlined by the call-ups of top prospects Keston Hiura, Brendan Rodgers and Austin Riley, it was easy to miss the Royals promotion of middle infielder Nicky Lopez. However, Lopez has wasted no time proving he warrants to be fully on our fantasy radars just like the rest of the bunch.Lopez has already shown the potential to be elite in both batting average and in limiting strikeouts. Thats a good starting off point, but theres more.How worthy is he of an add in fantasy leagues? Let[...]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon said that he's currently 60-40 toward returning for another season in 2020. He has a $23 million mutual option for the 2020 season that will certainly be declined for a $4 million buyout. The 35-year-old has had a renaissance this year so far after switching to a more upright, athletic stance late last season. Gordon led the team with 22 RBI in the final 33 games of 2018 and also had 10 doubles, four home runs and a .788 OPS. He's hitting .289 with eigh[...]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has continued his Lazarus tour through the first half of May. In his last five games, Gordon has gone 7-for-19 with two walks, two strikeouts, two home runs, six RBI, four runs scored, and two stolen bases.

Kansas City Royals outfielder and recent Fountain of Youth imbiber Alex Gordon blew up the Tigers on Saturday as he drilled his sixth home run of the year and drove in five runs. The 35-year-old, who credits his complete turnaround to a mechanical change in his stance made late last season, is now hitting .299 with the six home runs, 22 runs scored, and 27 RBI on the season. He's striking out half as often as last season, he's walking nearly as often as he's striking out, his exit velocity is u[...]

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is working on winning Comeback Player of the Year so far. Gordon went 2-for-5 in Sunday's loss to the Yankees including his fourth home run of the season as he played a critical role in the team's six-run eighth inning comeback that briefly gave them the lead. He also made waves as the recipient of a generous call from the umpires on Saturday as they ruled that a fan interfered with Gordon robbing a home run. Gordon has been on fire so far this season, [...]

Managers continue to slide through the waiver wire at alarming rates. Try not to overreact and make rash decisions. Let the underperforming stars get into a groove. Their numbers will normalize.Some outfielders would be better suited to stream for a hot bat. Others need to be replaced just because they are no longer on the field (IL). That is a situation that is affecting many owners, and there is nothing you can do except find a decent replacement as quickly as possible or risk losing valuable [...]
