Gordon, 29, missed two games after crashing into the outfield fence while chasing down a long fly ball Wednesday night. Gordon struck his head against a padded post, fell to the ground and was initially not able to get up. He later walked off the field under his own power.
The Royals reportedly feared he may have a concussion, but Friday’s tests showed no signs of such an ailment. Instead, Gordon’s injury was classified as a hip contusion.
Gordon has hit .292/.351/.426 with eight home runs and 46 RBI over 80 games this season.
