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.

Colton Gordon grew up a huge Rays fan. Monday, he pitches against them After stops at Lakewood Ranch, Florida, HCC and UCF, the left-hander was drafted by the Astros and worked his way to the majors.

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.

Jeremy Peña's RBI single in 8th inning lifts the Astros to a 4-3 win over Royals

Jeremy Peña had a season-high four hits, capped by a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning, to give the Houston Astros a 4-3 win over Kansas City Royals

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.

Set for MLB debut Wednesday The Astros will recall Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday to make his major-league debut against the Royals, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Gordon is off to a stellar start this season with Sugar Land, collecting a 2.55 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB over 42.1 innings covering eight starts. The left-hander could make additional starts with the big club after Wednesday's outing, as the Astros plan to temporarily maintain a six-man rotation amidst a stretch of the schedule without off days.

Could join rotation this week Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Gordon is a candidate to be called up from Triple-A Sugar Land to start Wednesday's game against the Royals in Houston, Brian McT...

Impact Houston recently kicked off a stretch of 17 games in as many days and are planning to at least temporarily maintain a six-man rotation to provide each starter with additional rest between outings. Hayden Wesneski's (elbow) move to the injured list Friday has created an opening in the rotation, and Gordon looks to be the most realistic option to fill the void. Gordon has yet to make his MLB debut, but he seems to have little left to prove at the Triple-A level after ringing up a 2.55 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB in 42.1 innings over his eight starts with Sugar Land.

Sent to Triple-A The Astros optioned Gordon to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Gordon should get the opportunity to make his MLB debut at some point in 2025, but he'll begin the season in the minors after losing out in the spring competition for the Astros' No. 5 starter role. Hayden Wesneski now profiles as the leading candidate for the final spot in the Opening Day rotation, though Gordon made a decent push for the gig after giving up five runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven innings across his three Grapefruit League starts.

Debut could come in 2025 Gordon will serve as a rotational depth option for the Astros in 2025, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gordon is a longshot to secure a rotation spot during spring training, but Houston added him to the 40-man roster this offseason. That makes him a name to monitor given the lack of healthy depth options the Astros are projected to have for their starting staff. Gordon has a decent skillset, as he maintained a 16.3 K-BB% across 123.1 innings with Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024. However, he has a poor fastball, which could lead to inconsistent results as he seeks to establish himself in the majors.

Protected from Rule 5 Draft The Astros selected Gordon's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Gordon, who turns 26 in December, held a 3.94 ERA and 124:39 K:BB over 123.1 innings this season with Sugar Land. The left-handed starter is now protected from the Rule 5 Draft.

Impact Gordon missed the first month of the season while recovering from a left lat strain. He was deployed in long relief in his season debut, but Gordon could join Sugar Land's rotation once he gets fully stretched out.

Struggling with adjusting to PCL Gordon, who was promoted to Triple-A Sugar Land from Double-A Corpus Christi on Aug. 7, has posted an 8.80 ERA, 2.19 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB in 15.1 innings through his first four start...

Impact The 24-year-old lefty has struggled thus far at Sugar Land, though that's not unusual, given the hitter-friendly nature of most PCL parks. He's been stung thus far by the long ball (six home runs allowed), and his 11.7 percent walk rate is also up nearly three percentage points from his rate at Double-A (9.1 percent). Gordon had been one of the top strikeout artists in the Texas League prior to getting promoted, racking up 121 punchouts over 93.1 innings.
