Kansas City Royals OF Alex Gordon expects newcomer OF Norichika Aoki to fill the leadoff role, and manager Ned Yost has already indicated Gordon will be moving down to fifth. "We're going to iron that out in spring training," Gordon said. "But as of right now (Aoki) looks like a solid leadoff hitter. He's not going to strike out - I did a lot and that's not typical of a leadoff hitter. He gets on base, he walks, he slaps the ball around. He's kind of the typical leadoff guy."

Kansas City Royals OF Alex Gordon is likely headed out of the leadoff spot and to the fifth spot following the acquisition of OF Norichika Aoki. "You never know what's going to happen with injuries (or) how people are going to play," Gordon said. "We're going to iron all that out in spring training." Manager Ned Yost has said Gordon will fall into the fifth spot behind 2B Omar Infante, 1B Eric Hosmer and DH Billy Butler.

Fantasy Tip: A move for Gordon to the fifth spot will provide many more RBI opportunities. His runs scored might take a hit, but his power numbers should rise. His fantasy appeal is on the way up batting in the middle of the order.

After taking league-mandated concussion tests, Kansas City Royals OF Alex Gordon (concussion, hip) isn't dealing with a concussion and is being listed as day-to-day. He believes he'll be able to play Friday, July 5, but that's unlikely to happen. "They said I was cleared to go," Gordon said. "They did all the tests, followed all the rules and they cleared me to go. So I'm just going to get back into action here today and hopefully get things rolling." He won't be placed on the 7-day disabled list for concussions. Gordon is also dealing with a bruise on his hip that has left him sore.

Fantasy Tip: Expect Gordon to return to the lineup Saturday. Be prepared to get him back into your starting lineups.
