Royals' Alex Gordon: Sitting out Friday
Gordon is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup with the White Sox, Josh Vernier of 610 KCSP reports.
Analysis:
Gordon is hitless in his past five games, and with tough left-hander Chris Sale toeing the rubber for Chicago, the 32-year-old will head to the bench for a day off. Whit Merrifield will replace him in left field for the evening.
