Getting another start Saturday Gordon is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Rays in Houston.
Impact With the Astros recently announcing that both Hayden Wesneski and Ronel Blanco would need season-ending Tommy John surgery, Gordon and Ryan Gusto have moved into big-league rotation. The Astros will eventually get Spencer Arrighetti (thumb), Luis Garcia (elbow) and Cristian Javier (elbow) back from the injured list, but with none of their returns considered imminent, Gordon could have an extended run as a starter. Through his first three starts across two separate stints in the majors, Gordon owns a 5.52 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB over 14.2 innings.

Yields three runs Gordon did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the Mariners. He allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings while striking out four.
Impact Gordon struggled out of the gate, giving up all three runs in the first three frames. Mitch Garver knocked a two-run double in the first inning and Donovan Solano drove in another run in the third. Gordon has given up exactly three runs in each of his first three MLB outings, resulting in a 5.52 ERA over 14.2 innings. His average fastball was down to 90.6 mph and he forced just eight swinging strikes on 84 total pitches. Gordon is currently projected to face the Rays at home next weekend.

Returning to majors The Astros are calling up Colton Gordon and he is in line to start Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 26-year-old will take over for Ronel Blanco, who is heading to the injured list Thursday with elbow inflammation. Gordon has made two starts for the Astros in 2025, both in which he allowed three earned runs in 5.1 innings or less. The southpaw has had his best Triple-A season through eight starts with a 2.55 ERA and 43 strikeouts across 42.1 innings.

Rejoining rotation soon Gordon is expected to rejoin the Astros' rotation soon, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact The Astros have a vacancy in their rotation Sunday against the Mariners which appears likely to be filled by Gordon. He can be recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land only if he replaces an injured player on the active roster, which could point to a likely stint on the IL for Ronel Blanco (elbow). Gordon has permitted six runs with a 10:2 K:BB over 9.2 frames in two starts for the Astros.
MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Optioned to Triple-A The Astros optioned Gordon to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gordon is being sent out to make room on the roster for Brandon Walter, who will start Tuesday in Tampa Bay. The left-handed Gordon has permitted six runs with a 10:2 K:BB over 9.2 frames in two starts for the Astros.

Fans seven in no-decision Gordon did not factor in the decision during Monday's win over the Rays. He allowed three runs on five hits over 5.1 innings while striking out seven.
Impact Gordon worked through four scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Danny Jansen in the fifth inning. Jose Caballero later knocked an RBI double in the sixth. Gordon generated eight whiffs on 83 total pitches after getting just two swinging strikes in his MLB debut. He's allowed three runs in each of his first two MLB starts, resulting in a 5.59 ERA over 9.2 frames. Should he see another turn in the rotation, Gordon would likely slot in at home against the Mariners this weekend.

Nabs another start Gordon is scheduled to start Monday's series opener versus the Rays in Tampa.
Impact Gordon will be awarded a second turn through the rotation after he was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land last Wednesday to make his MLB debut. He settled for a no-decision in his first start after giving up three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings in the Astros' 4-3 win over the Royals. The Astros are likely to continue maintaining a six-man rotation this week, but Houston may have room for just one of Gordon and Ryan Gusto if manager Joe Espada decides to scale the rotation back to five men next week.

No-decision in major-league debut Gordon didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Royals after allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
Impact Gordon mostly struggled in his major-league debut, yielding three extra-base hits and generating a mere two whiffs over his 85 pitches. It's unclear if the rookie left-hander will get another chance in Houston's current six-man rotation following Wednesday's shaky performance, but he does feature a strong 2.55 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB across 42.1 frames with Triple-A Sugar Land in 2025. Gordon's next outing tentatively lines up to come next week in a favorable matchup against the Rays, who have a poor .577 OPS versus left-handed pitching in their first 41 games.

Recalled ahead of MLB debut The Astros recalled Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Gordon will make his major-league debut Wednesday with a start against the Royals. The left-hander has put up a 2.55 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB over 42.1 innings covering eight starts this season at Sugar Land and might make additional starts with the big club if he pitches well, as Houston plans to employ a temporary six-man rotation as it navigates a portion of the schedule lacking off days.
