The Royals were given a bit of a scare this afternoon after left fielder Alex Gordon was left with a bloody nose in a batting practice mishap.
It all happened after Gordon hit a ball which deflected off the top of the cage and came right down on his nose. Marly Rivera of ESPN Deportes reports that Gordon was taken off the field, but Royals manager Ned Yost said that fortunately it’s “nothing serious.”
