Alex Gordon (OF, KC) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups rotoballer.com Sat 5/19/18 11:34 AM

BALLER MOVE: Hitter Streamer for Week 8 OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: After an OPS of .608 in 2017, Alex Gordon started the season with a .623 OPS in March and April. Yikes! However, after coming off the DL, he has rebounded nicely in May, going .308/3/10/7/1 in just 14 games. While his batted ball profile suggests this may be just good luck, in a week of shallow streaming options, he is worth the gamble. Before his collapse in 2017, there was a lot to like about Gordon as a fantas[...]

Alex Gordon Smacks Four Hits, Homers In Rout rotoballer.com Wed 5/9/18 11:51 AM

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has been on fire since his return from the disabled list and he capped that off in a massacre of the Orioles on Tuesday night. Gordon finished 4-for-5 with a home run and three runs batted in, and that raised his season average to .321. According to Gordon and his hitting coach, he hasn't made any major mechanical adjustments to his swing, but he's an entirely different player over the last month compared to the past couple of years. The 34-year-old has [...]

Alex Gordon Will Sit Sunday rotoballer.com Sun 5/6/18 8:46 AM

Kansas City Royals center fielder Alex Gordon (rest) will sit on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Gordon has gotten off to a good start this season but has hit just .182 against southpaws to this point. He will be out of the lineup Sunday with the Royals facing lefty Matthew Boyd.

Alex Gordon Blasts Tigers rotoballer.com Fri 5/4/18 12:07 PM

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has become synonymous with poor offensive performance over the last two years, but an early disabled list stint appears to have somehow righted his ship. On Thursday, Gordon smashed his second home run in the last three days, and he's hitting .372 since coming off the disabled list on April 24. Gordon is riding a .400 BABIP and two percent walk rate to reach such levels of success, so there's likely not a long-lasting change here, but fantasy owners can [...]

Alex Gordon To Begin Rehab Assignment rotoballer.com Thu 4/19/18 1:28 PM

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon (hip) is set to begin his rehab assignment with the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers on Friday. Gordon has been sidelined for the last 10 days with a labral tear in his hip, and Paulo Orlando has mostly filled in for him. The good news was that while Gordon's injury was initially thought to be more serious, it ended up not needing surgery. The bad news is that Gordon has already been bad before this injury, and hip injuries are usually lingering ones that h[...]

Alex Gordon Placed On DL rotoballer.com Tue 4/10/18 12:55 PM

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has been placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a left labral tear. The injury is expected to only sideline Gordon for a couple of weeks, but players often struggle to regain their hitting form after coming back from hip injuries. The good news is that Gordon has been bad for the last year and a half, so his hitting form won't be very hard to re-acclaim. The bad news is that he'll still probably be bad, so he shouldn't be owned anywhere anyway. Gordon[...]

Alex Gordon Sidelined For A Couple Days rotoballer.com Mon 4/9/18 12:52 PM

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon will be sidelined for a couple of days with a tight groin, according the manager Ned Yost. Yost told reporters that Gordon's groin is tight but not considered a full injury that will require a DL stint. Gordon has been playing even worse than he did last year, so he shouldn't be owned in almost any leagues anyway. Paulo Orlando will get the starts while Gordon is resting, but he provides no real value to teams either.

Alex Gordon Claims To Have Made Many Adjustments rotoballer.com Wed 3/28/18 3:14 PM

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon claims he's made an assortment of adjustments to his swing and approach at the plate during the offseason and spring session. That's a good thing because Gordon was atrocious at the dish last year. The only reason he wasn't the worst hitter on the team was because Alcides Escobar was also on his squad. Gordon is still slated to be the everyday left fielder, and he will likely remain there no matter how badly he plays since he's making $18 million per sea[...]

Alex Gordon Is Still Terrible At The Plate rotoballer.com Sun 3/18/18 7:42 PM

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon was atrocious offensively last season. A hot fall pulled him up to a final batting average of .208, but he wasn't as good as his average suggests. Over the offseason, multiple reports came out that Gordon was completely overhauling his approach at the plate so he could be better this year. So far, he's 4-for-39 this spring. Sure, spring stats don't really count, but it doesn't appear that overhaul has quite worked. He should be avoided in all but the dee[...]

Alex Gordon Is A Mess rotoballer.com Mon 3/12/18 12:52 AM

Remember a few years ago when Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon was a Gold-Glover who was also performing at the plate? He helped them win a [...]
