Yikes. Gordon also issued four walks on the afternoon while recording one strikeout. The Diamondbacks jumped on him right out of the gate in this one, using home runs from Gabriel Moreno and Nolan Arenado to put up a six-spot in the first inning. They added another pair in the second and two more while chasing him in the fourth. Gordon got three swings and misses on 96 pitches on the day, posting a miserable CSW of 22 percent. He finishes his 2026 season with a 1-6 record, 6.68 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and an 85/24 K/BB ratio over 103 2/3 innings in 24 appearances (12 starts).

All of the runs came in the second, which started with a Xander Bogaerts homer and then just got worse from there. The 10 hits came from the Padres going 8-for-10 on non-hard-hit balls against him. Gordon dropped to 1-5 with a 6.01 ERA. He’ll likely face the D-backs next week.

Gordon coughed up 10 hits, including a solo homer to Kevin McGonigle. He finished with five strikeouts and only issued one walk. It was the third time in his last five starts that he’s allowed four earned runs or more. He’s not a recommended fantasy option when he faces the division-rival Padres on Thursday.

Gordon was coming off two nice outings against the Nationals and Orioles, but he couldn’t keep it going today. He has a 5.40 ERA in nine starts and 12 relief appearances. He’s due to pitch in Detroit next weekend.

Gordon’s reward for being the Rockies’ second least bad starting pitcher last year was a mid-March demotion to Triple-A this spring. He’s mostly been not totally awful again since getting his first start on May 25 last year, and it finally earned him first win last week against the Nationals. There’s no real upside here, but his 5.18 ERA is the best of any Rockies pitcher to start more than a few games this year. He’ll likely face the Cardinals on Sunday.

Gordon enjoyed this opportunity away from Coors Field to get both his first win of the season and complete seven innings for the first time in his career. Also, despite the lopsided final score, Gordon didn’t even pitch with a lead until the fifth inning. So it’s not like he was just tossing it in there against a team who knew the game was already over. Sadly, he’s heading back home next week for a two-start week against the Orioles and Cardinals.

Gordon has pitched decently when used in bulk, but his traditional starts have been mostly disasters. Guess what kind of outing this one was? The right-hander gave up nine hits, walked two and struck out just a pair while seeing his ERA shoot up to 5.75. Gordon is eating innings for the Rockies. He’s eating something else in fantasy. He faces the Nationals on Wednesday.

Gordon struck out just one. He allowed eight hits, but only Rafael Devers’ second-inning homer did any damage. Gordon stayed 0-2 with a 6.44 ERA in 50 1/3 innings over five starts and seven relief appearances, but the Rockies have won his last two starts after taking losses in each of his first 10 outings.

Despite allowing four homers, Gordon doesn’t qualify for a decision, thanks almost entirely to a bullpen meltdown from the Giants. The 28-year-old has allowed five runs in back-to-back starts, and his ERA is now a deserved 6.95 over the first half of the season. He’ll get a rematch against the Giants on Friday, with the start taking place in San Francisco. No matter where Gordon pitches, he shouldn’t be in a fantasy lineup.

The Marlins brought a run across to score in the first inning on two hits. Two more hits plated a second run in the second inning. Gordon gave up three more in the third on a three-run blast by Javier Sanoja. Gordon gave the Rockies two more scoreless frames before departing at 74 pitches through five innings. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 6.69 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and a 39/8 K/BB ratio across 40 1/3 innings into a start against the Giants in Colorado on Sunday.

Gordon draws the starting assignment for Tuesday’s contest against the Marlins in place of an injured Tomoyuki Sugano, who is dealing with a finger issue. The 28-year-old righty has been out since early June with a hip impingement. He’s posted a bloated 6.37 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 35/8 K/BB ratio across 34 1/3 innings in a swingman role this season.

Gordon sustained the injury during his last outing on Sunday. It’s unclear how long he’ll be sidelined for. Zach Agnos was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move on Friday to take his spot on the Rockies’ active roster.

Gordon allowed two runs over three innings before giving up a double and hitting a batter to start the fourth. That was enough to get him pulled after 75 pitches, and both runners came around to score off Brennan Bernardino. Gordon has a 6.37 ERA through two starts and seven relief appearances. If he stays in the rotation, he’ll face the Brewers at home next weekend.

A little good news for the Rockies a day after the team lost Jose Quintana to an elbow injury. Gordon, who was starting for the first time after seven lengthy appearances out of the pen, left with a one-run lead tonight, though it disappeared in the seventh. He has a 5.85 ERA and a nice 33/7 K/BB over 32 1/3 innings. He should stay in the rotation and face the Giants this weekend.

Sammy Peralta had started this game as the opener for the Rockies, but he only got two outs in the first inning and gave up a pair of runs before Gordon stepped in. Gordon gave up three more runs in the second on four hits and a walk, then surrendered a two-run blast to Brandon Nimmo in the fourth. He would pitch through the seventh, giving up two more runs before his day was done. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 6.59 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 30/6 K/BB ratio across 27 1/3 innings into his next outing against the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Sunday.

Gordon has a 6.35 ERA in 17 innings with the Rockies this season. He was just sent down to the minors on Tuesday, but is back up with Jimmy Herget (shoulder) being placed on the injured list.

Gordon spent the last four weeks mopping up for the Rockies, throwing 17 innings with a 6.35 ERA over five appearances. The Rockies lost those five games he pitched in by a combined score of 40-9.

Gordon, 28, will take the roster spot of Valente Bellozo. The 28-year-old will have a chance to make his first appearance with Colorado in 2026, but was a disaster in 2025 as seen in a 6.33 ERA in 75 1/3 innings.

Gordon made 15 starts for the Rockies last season, but he posted a 6.33 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 62/17 K/BB ratio in 75 1/3 innings. He will likely make double-digit starts for them again in 2026, but he should not be on fantasy radars.

The 28-year-old hurler issued a leadoff walk to Xander Bogaerts then retired the heart of the Padres’ regular lineup in order to escape trouble in the opening inning. He then set them down in order in the second inning including a strikeout of Jake Cronenworth. Gordon threw 16 of his 25 pitches for strikes in the contest, generating just one whiff and posting a CSW of 16 percent. Even if he earns a spot in the Rockies’ Opening Day rotation, he’s unlikely to have much utility from a fantasy perspective.
