Royals' Ramon Torres filling in for Alex Gordon (hip, neck) on Thursday
Kansas City Royals infielder Ramon Torres is starting on Thursday against the Texas Rangers.
Alex Gordon (hip, neck) was scratched, so Torres will fill in at third base and bat ninth versus Rangers right-hander Austin Bibens-Dirkx in Thursday's series opener. It will be the 25-year-old's first appearance this season.
Torres hit 4 RBI and scored 9 runs in 33 games last season during his first taste of the big leagues.
