KANSAS CITY - The Royals activated All-Star outfielder Alex Gordon from the disabled list and welcomed new outfielder Jonny Gomes in a series of moves before Tuesday night's game against Detroit.
The Royals also recalled infielders Christian Colon and Cheslor Cuthbert along with catcher Francisco Pena from Triple-A Omaha, and outfielder Terrance Gore from Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
Right-hander Miguel Almonte and left-hander Scott Alexander also joined the club from Omaha.
Gordon has been out since July 8, when he crumpled to the warning track while chasing down a fly ball in a game against Tampa Bay. He had spent eight games rehabbing in Omaha.
Gomes was acquired late Monday in a trade with Atlanta.
