For just the second time this season, Royals manager Ned Yost did not pencil Alex Gordon’s name into the starting lineup.
Gordon, who left the Royals’ 3-2 win over the Orioles on Friday night in the seventh inning because of tightness in his right groin, was held out of Saturday’s contest at Kauffman Stadium. Gordon had started 34 of the Royals’ first 35 games this season.
But Gordon could be in line for three days of rest, because the Royals don’t have a game scheduled Monday.
“We’ll see how he feels tomorrow,” Yost said before Saturday’s game.
