Gordon, wife welcome baby girl to family

NEW YORK -- Royals left fielder Alex Gordon and his wife, Jamie, welcomed their third child to the world Monday, a girl named Joey Lynn.

Gordon is on paternity leave back in Kansas City and is expected to rejoin the club on Tuesday, though manager Ned Yost said Gordon likely won't make it in time for Tuesday's game.

The Gordons also have two sons -- Max and Sam.

Meanwhile, Yost became a grandfather for the third time. His daughter, Jenny, gave birth to a girl named Everly on Friday.

Still waiting on Karns

Yost said the Royals still were contemplating a stint on the disabled list for right-hander Nate Karns, who felt some tightness and fluid on top of his forearm.
