DR HQ: Royals lose Alex Gordon; plus analysis of Souza, Garza and more

Alex Gordon (OF, KC)
Injury: Strained left groin (grade 2+)
DL date: July 9
Estimated DL time: His injury isn’t serious enough that he’ll need surgery or be declared a grade 3 injury with major damage. That said, there is enough damage that Gordon will need two months to recover. Once he returns, he should be able to pick up where he left off without any decline in production.

Steven Matz (LHP, NYN)
Injury: Partially torn left lat - grade 2
Date: July 9
DL Time: Matz will not throw for three weeks. If he can avoid a setback once he resumes throwing, he will need anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks to get game ready. His likely return will be the middle to the later part of August. 

Nick Hagadone (LHP, CLE)
Injury: Strained lower back
DL date:...

Almost!
