"Third baseman Alex Gordon is doing well in his rehabilitation from surgery on his right hip, Royals manager Trey Hillman reported on Thursday. Hillman talked recently to Gordon, who is recovering in Vail, Colo., where he underwent surgery last Friday. "He was in pretty good spirits, other than the fact that he'd rather be here playing," Hillman said. About three or four hours after surgery, doctors had Gordon on an exercise bike to get the blood flowing in an aggressive program for recovery."
