Royals third baseman Alex Gordon will miss three to four weeks of action with a broken right thumb. Kansas City manager Trey Hillman said Sunday that Gordon will likely miss the team's Opening Day game against the Tigers on April 5. Gordon, however, is more optimistic. "That's the way I'm taking it," Gordon said. "Hopefully, I'll be able to get into games at the end of spring training. I really haven't found out exactly the timetable and maybe if I can come back earlier or not. We're just going to see how the first couple of days progress and go from there."
