Tanner Gordon - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Making another start Gordon is slated to start Sunday against the Giants at Coors Field.

Impact Gordon will receive another turn through the Colorado rotation after he was able to hold his own in his first start of the season Monday in a road matchup with the Dodgers. He limited one of the majors' top offenses to one run on six hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings, taking a no-decision in the Rockies' eventual 5-3 loss. The 28-year-old righty owns a 6.78 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 142 career innings in the big leagues, so despite getting a favorable matchup versus a weak Giants lineup in his second start, he'll be tough to trust at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Tames Dodgers in no-decision Gordon completed five innings against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

Impact Gordon had worked in relief in his previous five outings this season but was called upon to make a start against the back-to-back World Champions. Considering that context, Gordon did very well, holding Los Angeles to only one run despite giving up three doubles among the six hits he allowed. The right-hander notched just five whiffs and three punchouts, but he was in line for the win upon his departure, though the Dodgers ultimately staged a late comeback to nab the victory. Gordon may have earned himself another start with this performance, and if that is the case, he'd be lined up to next face San Francisco.

Set for start Monday Gordon is expected to start Monday's contest on the mound against the Dodgers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gordon will draw a tough test in his first start of the 2026 campaign, squaring off with the back-to-back World Series champions on the road to open a three-game series. The 28-year-old surrendered seven runs on 12 hits and a walk while punching out five batters over 6.1 frames in bulk relief Tuesday against the Rangers, and he owns an inflated 6.59 ERA over 27.1 innings in seven appearances this season.

Yields seven runs in bulk relief Gordon pitched 6.1 innings in bulk relief Tuesday, giving up seven runs on 12 hits and one walk while striking out five batters in a no-decision against Texas.

Impact Tuesday marked Gordon's second straight extended relief outing, though his previous appearance -- which lasted four frames -- came as the result of an early injury to Chase Dollander (elbow). By contrast, Gordon's outing Tuesday was a planned bulk-relief appearance, and though he gave the Rockies plenty of length, the right-hander was rocked for a season-worst seven runs. Gordon managed to avoid the loss since opener Sammy Peralta was charged with two runs over his two-thirds of an inning of work, but the former was essentially asked to take one for the team in a game that Colorado lost 10-0. It remains to be seen what Gordon's role will be moving forward. The Rockies have an open rotation spot due to Dollander's injury, but it's not a given that Gordon will be asked to take up that role (either as a starter or a bulk reliever) given his ugly 6.59 ERA on the campaign.

To work as bulk reliever Tuesday Gordon is expected to follow opener Sammy Peralta and work as the primary pitcher Tuesday against the Rangers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gordon worked four innings out of the bullpen Thursday against Pittsburgh, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while fanning five. He'll be asked to operate in a similar role Tuesday after the Rockies emerged victorious in the series opener Monday.

Summoned from minors The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gordon had been optioned Tuesday to make room for Jimmy Herget's (shoulder) return from the bereavement list, but he's now back as Herget goes on the injured list. Though he boasts a 20:4 K:BB over 17 innings, Gordon holds a 6.35 ERA in large part due to serving up five long balls. He'll be available in long relief.

Returns to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander has been up in the majors for the past month, but he'll return to Triple-A after giving up 12 earned runs with a 20:4 K:BB across 17 big-league innings. Gordon could return to the rotation at Albuquerque, where he had a 2.76 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in three starts to begin the season.

Added to bullpen The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Gordon has been sharp early on at Albuquerque, posting a 2.76 ERA and 15:4 K:BB over his first 16.1 innings. The righty holds a career 7.06 ERA in 23 starts in the majors, however, and appears pegged for a long relief role with the Rockies.

Cut from big-league camp The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Gordon had a 6.33 ERA in 15 starts for the Rockies last season and delivered a 1.64 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB over 11 innings during spring training, but the big club will go in a different direction for their season-opening rotation. The right-hander is now poised to begin the campaign with Albuquerque, where he had a 5.25 ERA across 58.1 innings last year. He should receive another look with the Rockies at some point in 2026, however.

Poor showing in eighth loss Gordon (6-8) took the loss Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing seven runs (five earned) on eight hits and no walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Gordon was unable to build on his prior two outings, which were both quality starts, as it was his shortest outing since Aug. 4 against the Blue Jays. The right-hander did manage to issue zero walks for the first time Aug. 10, but that's about the extent of the positive takeaways from Wednesday. Gordon has likely made his last appearance in 2025, ending the season with a miserable 6.33 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB across 75.1 innings, though five of his last seven outings were quality starts.

Takes loss despite quality start Gordon (6-7) took the loss Thursday against the Marlins, surrendering four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings.

Impact The right-hander was burned in the third inning, giving up back-to-back home runs -- a two-run shot to Liam Hicks followed by a solo blast from Otto Lopez. Gordon has struggled with the long ball recently, serving up six homers in his last three starts. Despite the homers, the 27-year-old has otherwise been steady, delivering five quality starts in his last six outings. Over that stretch, Gordon has lowered his ERA by more than two full runs, and he'll look to keep trending in the right direction when he faces the Mariners in his next scheduled start. He now owns a 6.00 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 59:17 K:BB across 72 innings.

Fans nine in six excellent frames Gordon (6-6) recorded the win Friday against the Padres, allowing one run on two hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.

Impact The 27-year-old left-hander tied a season high in strikeouts, tossing at least six frames for the seventh time out of 13 outings this year as well. Since seeing his ERA balloon to 8.37 following a disastrous Aug. 10 start in Arizona, when he was obliterated for 10 earned runs, Gordon has managed to throw six innings while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last six appearances to enhance his ERA to 6.14 for the season. He'll carry a 1.50WHIP and 55:16 K:BB over 66 frames into a scheduled start versus Miami his next time out.
