Good news for the Royals, via Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star:
#Royals say LF Alex Gordon has passed all concussion tests. Paperwork forwarded to MLB. Now awaiting clearance for him to play.

Here’s hoping Alex Gordon can avoid a setback and rejoin the lineup after missing just a few games following his collision with the outfield wall that led to an inside-the-park homer.
On Sunday morning, the Padres planned to take a bus from their hotel in San Francisco to AT&T Park ahead of their afternoon game. The bus never showed. MLB.com’s AJ Cassavell reports that team director of player and staff services TJ Lasita flagged down an empty San Francisco tour bus, negotiated a rate, and got his players an impromptu ride to the ballpark.
The Padres’ Twitter account and Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune tweeted pictures and video:
The Padres and Giants are playing the rubber match of their three-game series this afternoon. The Padres will then travel to Arlington for a series with the Rangers. The Giants will welcome the Rockies.
