Gordon (wrist) could begin his rehab assignment this weekend according to manager Ned Yost, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon was placed on the 15-day DL on May 23 and has been progressing by resuming baseball activities within the past week. It seems as though Gordon hasn't suffered any setbacks and should be able to return to the club sometime next weekend if all goes according to plan after his rehab stint.

Gordon (wrist) was able to hit in batting practice Wednesday, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, Gordon didn't appear to be particularly limited by the injured wrist during the hitting session. There's still no timetable for a return, but Gordon figures to embark upon a minor league rehab assignment before he'll be ready to return to the Kansas City lineup.

Gordon (wrist) will begin hitting from a tee Monday, but there is no timetable for his return, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Once he's cleared to resume playing in games, Gordon may need a few games on a rehab assignment before he's cleared to rejoin the Royals' lineup. Nevertheless, it sounds like his timetable for a return should be measured in weeks rather than days at this stage.

Gordon (wrist) began light throwing and plans to swing a bat this weekend, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon was sidelined with a broken wrist in mid-May and has admitted that his recovery has gone slower than he's hoped. However, the 32-year-old resumed baseball activities earlier this month and is now prepared to take another step forward in his rehab. While he is still in the beginning stages of his recovery, he's making strides and is still on track to return to the majors by the end of June.

Gordon (wrist) will resume baseball activities this weekend, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon was reevaluated by the Royals' medical staff Wednesday, and it was determined that his recovery from his sprained wrist is on track. He will resume throwing at some point this weekend, however, it could still be a couple weeks before he resumes hitting. He may need a short rehab assignment before rejoining the Royals, but he could be back with the big club at some point later in June.

Gordon revealed he's frustrated with his recent injury, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

"Obviously, I haven't played the way I've wanted to this year so far," Gordon said. "But the unfortunate part is, in baseball you always have tomorrow, and right now, I don't have that". Gordon has struggled badly this season, hitting .211 with only four homers when he suffered the injury Sunday.

Gordon (wrist) is headed to the DL, Joel Goldberg of FSKC reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon suffered a right wrist sprain when he collided with Mike Moustakas in Sunday's game against the White Sox and while it was initially reported that he'd be day-to-day, the Royals have now said that he will head to the DL. Third basemen, Cheslor Cuthbert, will be called up in a corresponding roster move while Gordon nurses his wrist.

Gordon has been ruled day-to-day with a right wrist sprain, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon collided with Mike Moustakas in foul territory during Sunday's lose to the White Sox that left both players shaken up for a few moments, although they both stayed in the game. The left fielder has passed concussion protocol but could be held out of Monday's game against Twins as he nurses his wrist.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran will be replaced in left by Whit Merrifield, who is making his major league debut Wednesday with the Royals facing David Price and the Red Sox. Gordon went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader, bringing his season average down to .211. He'll get an added day off Wednesday before returning to the lineup Friday in all likelihood.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with a home run, his fourth of the season, in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

There's been a concerning power outage in Gordon's game through the early portion of the season. Through 113 at-bats, the outfielder's slugging percentage (.381) and ISO (.142) are at their lowest levels since 2010. Compounding concerns is the fact that his strikeout rate has exploded to 30.6 percent, way above his career rate of 21 percent. It's probably unfair to give up on the three-time All Star just yet, but his value is certainly lower than it's been in a long time.
