TANNER GORDON NEWS

Moved back to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact Gordon was called up to make a spot start Wednesday and yielded seven runs in 3.1 innings against the Tigers. He'll return to Albuquerque on Friday, giving way to Austin Gomber (paternity list) on the 26-man roster. Gordon has an 8.65 ERA in 34.1 innings for the Rockies this season.

Mauled by Tigers Gordon (0-6) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering seven runs on 10 hits over 3.1 innings as the Rockies fell 7-4 to the Tigers. He struck out one without walking a batter.

Impact Six of the runs came in the first inning, as Gordon served up a solo shot to Riley Greene and a three-run homer to Trey Sweeney before finally escaping the frame. Gordon hasn't pitched in the majors since Aug. 21, and despite all the injuries in the Colorado rotation, this performance doesn't seem likely to buy the right-hander another start. Through 34.1 big-league innings this season, he carries an 8.65 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday's game Gordon will start for the Rockies on Wednesday in Detroit, MLB.com reports.

Impact Gordon will be making a spot start in place of Austin Gomber, who was placed on the paternity list Tuesday. He holds a 7.55 ERA and 25:6 K:BB over 31 innings covering seven starts with the big club in 2024 but is coming off his best start of the season with Triple-A Albuquerque, having tossed eight shutout frames last Wednesday in Tacoma.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Gordon has posted a 7.55 ERA over seven starts with the big club this season. The 26-year-old looks to be in line to serve in a long relief role this time around.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact The right-hander made his seventh start of the season Wednesday against the Nationals and surrendered five runs across eight innings, and he won't stick in the big-league rotation. Gordon has a 7.55 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 31 frames in his first taste of the majors this season.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Remains winless Gordon (0-5) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up five runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings as the Rockies were downed 6-1 to the Nationals. He struck out two.

Impact The rookie right-hander fell apart in the third inning, giving up three singles before Luis Garcia launched a three-run blast to right-center field. Gordon has been tagged for at least four runs in five of his first seven MLB starts, and he seems likely to lose his rotation spot once Ryan Feltner (shoulder) is ready to return. If Gordon does get another turn, he'll carry a 7.55 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB through 31 innings into a home start early next week against the Marlins.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled in first inning, takes loss Gordon (0-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks in two-thirds of an inning. He did not record a strikeo...

Impact Gordon failed to make it through a disastrous first inning that included two errors by the Rockies defense. Gordon walked in a run before being relieved by Peter Lambert, who induced a groundout to limit the damage to four runs. The 26-year-old Gordon uncharacteristically struggled with control Wednesday, throwing 24 of his 44 pitches for strikes and logging a 0:2 K:BB, a far-cry from his 23:3 K:BB in five previous starts this season. The right-hander will look to improve upon his 7.00 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in his next start, currently scheduled for next week against the Nationals.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive in no-decision Gordon did not factor into the decision in Friday's win over Atlanta, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

Impact It looked like the rookie right-hander was in for a long night after allowing a titanic 448-foot solo homer to Marcell Ozuna in the first inning. However, Gordon settled in nicely, collecting a career-high seven punchouts in this 89-pitch performance. Overall, the 26-year-old has pitched to a 6.15 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB across 26.1 innings this season. He lines up to make his next start against the Diamondbacks on the road next week.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Staying in rotation Gordon is scheduled to start Friday's game against Atlanta at Coors FIeld.

Impact He'll be making his second straight turn through the Colorado rotation, and Gordon looks like he'll have a path to sticking around with the big club for the foreseeable future with Ryan Feltner (shoulder) going on the injured list and with German Marquez (elbow) being ruled out for the season. Over his first four big-league outings, Gordon has gone 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB in 21.1 innings.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in Saturday's start Gordon allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.

Impact Gordon was perfect through four innings, but he put the first two batters aboard in the fifth, and a David Peralta groundout knocked in the tying run. Peter Lambert then allowed two runs in the seventh to spoil the Rockies' chance at a team win. This was Gordon's best of four starts this season -- he had allowed at least four runs in each of the other three. He's now at a 6.75 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through 21.1 innings. This was likely enough to earn him another turn through the rotation -- tentatively projected to be at home versus Atlanta -- though that could change if German Marquez (elbow) doesn't require a rehab assignment.

Rockies send down RHP Jake Bird, recall RHP Tanner Gordon The Colorado Rockies optioned right-hander Jake Bird to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday and recalled right-hander Tanner Gordon.In addition...

AUGUST 3 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Officially recalled for start The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his start Saturday against the Padres.

Impact Gordon hasn't found much success through his first three MLB starts, surrendering 15 earned runs in just 15.1 innings while striking out 12 batters and walking two. Nonetheless, he'll rejoin the Rockies' rotation and presumably remain with the big-league club until German Marquez (elbow) returns from the IL. Jake Bird was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining rotation Saturday Gordon will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Saturday's game in San Diego.

Impact The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A on Sunday, but because he had served as the club's 27th man in a doubleheader with the Giants a day earlier, he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club in fewer than 15 days. He looks like he'll hold down the No. 5 spot in the Colorado rotation until German Marquez (elbow) is able to return from the injured list. Gordon has made three starts for the Rockies this season, compiling an 8.80 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 15.1 innings.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to Albuquerque The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact As expected, Gordon was returned to Triple-A after he was called up to the big club to serve as its 27th man in Saturday's doubleheader with the Giants. He started the second game of the twin bill, giving up four earned runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out five over six innings in a 5-0 loss. Gordon has been dealt a loss in each of his first three big-league starts while producing an 8.80 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in those outings.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out five in loss Gordon (0-3) was charged with the loss against the Giants on Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits over six innings. He struck out five and did not walk a batter.

Impact Gordon got off on the wrong foot, allowing back-to-back hits in each of the first two innings, leading to two early runs coming across for San Francisco. He would then cruise through the next two frames before once again surrendering back-to-back hits to open the fifth. The right-hander has now taken losses in all three of his starts this season, allowing at least four runs in each outing. On a positive note, he's managed to go six innings in two of those starts and currently holds a 12:2 K:BB on the campaign.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as 27th man The Rockies named Gordon its' 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants. He'll start Game 2 of the twin bill.

Impact Gordon will temporarily join the Rockies' active roster to start the second game of a twin bill against the Giants but will be sent back down to Triple-A following the outing. Gordon has started two games for the Rockies this season, landing an 0-2 record with a 10.61 ERA across 9.1 innings.

JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as 27th man The Rockies named Gordon as their 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants. He'll start Game 2 of the twin bill.

Impact Gordon will temporarily join the Rockies' active roster to start the second game of a twin bill against the Giants, but he will likely be sent back down to Triple-A following the outing. Gordon has started two games for the Rockies this season, pitching to an 0-2 record with a 10.61 ERA across 9.1 innings.

JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for start in doubleheader The Rockies plan to call up Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Giants in San Francisco.

Impact The right-hander is likely to be designated as the Rockies' 27th man for the twin bill and will presumably be returned to Albuquerque immediately after his start Saturday. Gordon has previously made two starts for the Rockies, taking the loss in both of those outings while giving up 11 earned runs on 16 hits and two walks while striking out seven over 9.1 innings.

JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to minors The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Gordon was demoted after surrendering four homers while giving up six runs over three-plus innings against the Mets on Friday. The right-hander has yielded a total of 11 earned runs over 9.1 frames across his first two major-league starts and will get a chance to reset at Triple-A. Colorado also placed Nolan Jones (back) on the IL on Saturday while recalling outfielder Sean Bouchard and reliever Angel Chivilli from the minors. Gordon's short-lived spot in the big-league rotation will be assumed by German Marquez, who is set to return from the injured list to make his season debut Sunday.

Mauled by Mets Gordon (0-2) took the loss Friday as the Rockies were downed 7-6 by the Mets, coughing ups six runs on eight hits -- including four home runs -- and two walks over three-plus innin...

Impact The two teams combined for nine long balls on the night, the highest single-game total in the majors this season, and Gordon took the brunt of it. Harrison Bader in particular had the rookie right-hander's number, blasting a second-inning fastball over the fence in left-center field before ripping a hanging slider down the left-field line in the fourth. Gordon has served up six homers in 9.1 innings over his first two big-league starts, and with German Marquez (elbow) on the verge of coming off the IL, he's likely headed back to Triple-A Albuquerque -- where Gordon has been tagged for nine homers in 33.2 innings.

JULY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Getting another start Gordon is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Mets at Citi Field.

Impact Gordon was lit it up for five runs on eight hits in his MLB debut this past Sunday against the Royals, but the fact that he pitched into the seventh inning without issuing a walk and while striking out four batters offered some signs of encouragement. The 26-year-old righty may not necessarily be in store for a long-term stay with the big club, but he'll get at least one more turn through the rotation while the Rockies wait for German Marquez (elbow) to complete his rehab assignment before returning from the 60-day injured list.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Rollercoaster MLB debut Gordon (0-1) took the loss Sunday against Kansas City, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact While the 26-year-old's final stat line wasn't very encouraging, Gordon showed plenty of positive signs after yielding four runs - including a three-run home run to Maikel Garcia - in the second inning. Gordon rebounded from the nightmare inning by retiring 11 consecutive batters. He was able to pitch into the seventh inning, but was pulled after 78 pitches following MJ Melendez's solo homer and Garcia's bunt single. Assuming Sunday's outing was enough to earn another start, Gordon would be in line to face the Mets in New York next weekend.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected for MLB debut The Rockies selected Gordon's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque, and he'll start Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact The 26-year-old hasn't pitched particularly well for Triple-A Albuquerque this year with a 5.35 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB over 33.2 innings, but he'll still receive a look in Colorado's rotation. Dakota Hudson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, so there's an opening for multiple starts if Gordon showcases himself well in his major-league deubt.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Getting first MLB start Sunday Gordon will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Sunday's game against the Royals at Coors Field, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Ryan Feltner had previously been confirmed as the Rockies' starter for Sunday's series finale, but he'll end up getting pushed back to Monday in Cincinnati, where he's expected to have several family and friends on hand to watch him pitch. The change in the pitching schedule thus opens up a temporary spot in the rotation for Gordon, who will be making his MLB debut Sunday. The 26-year-old rigthy has made seven starts this season with Albuquerque, accruing a 5.35 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB in 33.2 innings. His underwhelming numbers at the Triple-A level in addition to having to pitch in a hitter-friendly environment in Coors Field in his MLB debut makes Gordon an unappealing streaming option for Sunday.
