2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 26-year-old lefty who spent all of 2024 in Houston's Triple-A rotation, Gordon has better surface stats than stuff. He logged a 3.94 ERA, and among the 45 Pacific Coast League pitchers who logged 70-plus innings, his 1.22 WHIP ranked third and his 16.3 K-BB% ranked eighth. Gordon throws a bevy of middling pitches and gets by because of his above-average strike-throwing ability. His fastball sits at 90-91 mph and has poor movement, so he may not have sustained success against big-league hitters, especially when he faces them a second time in the same start. Gordon is on the 40-man roster and will be a rotation option early in 2026 if a big-league starter gets injured, but he lacks a high ceiling and his subpar stuff means he could get lit up by any lineup if he's not locating his pitches. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Astros in March of 2025.
Saddled with third loss
Gordon (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Athletics, yielding four runs on six hits and no walks over five innings with six strikeouts.
Analysis
The Houston southpaw opened the first frame by conceding solo homers to Miguel Andujar and Shea Langeliers and was unable to recover. Gordon tossed 99 pitches, 66 of which were strikes, as he did manage to notch six Ks for the first time in seven appearances, dating back to May 31. Across 62.2 total frames, the 26-year-old rookie sports a 4.74 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 54:11 K:BB. Gordon is currently slated to make his next start at Boston next weekend; however, his future in the Astros rotation may be limited as Luis Garcia (elbow), Cristian Javier (elbow) and Lance McCullers (blister) all are nearing returns from their respective injuries.
