MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Kansas City Royals have placed All-Star outfielder Alex Gordon on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right wrist.

The Royals announced the move on Monday before opening a series in Minnesota against the Twins.

Manager Ned Yost says Gordon will not need surgery but will miss three to four weeks. Gordon was injured in a loss to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday when he collided with third baseman Mike Moustakas.

Moustakas is listed as day to day with a bruised knee.

Gordon is hitting .211 with four home runs and 10 RBIs this season.

The Royals recalled infielder Cheslor Cuthbert to help fill in while Gordon is out.
