Gordon

Gordon might have been sent down anyway with Chase Dollander back, though Carson Palmquist was also a possibility. Gordon had a 4.24 ERA in three starts for the Rockies, but he allowed a few unearned runs and struck out only 10 in 17 innings.

The Champaign, Illinois native pitched well in what was a bit of a homecoming. The Cubs’ offense has been one of the best in baseball to this point and they struggled to sustain rallies against Gordon. However, his lack of swing-and-miss stuff – just six total here – and place on the Rockies should keep him off the radar in nearly every fantasy league. However, if there was ever a time to roster him it would be for his next scheduled start on the road against the Marlins.

Sure, why not. Gordon has been atrocious in his time with Colorado, but the 6-foot-5 right-hander was able to handle the Yankees without many issues. He did allow a solo homer to Aaron Judge, but credit to Gordon for limiting the traffic with five hits allowed with two walks against five strikeouts. Gordon now has a 4.38 ERA, and the Rockies improve to 9-42. He likely earned a start against the Cubs next week, but fantasy managers can’t possibly trust this.

Gordon is up and he’ll start Friday’s game against the Yankees. The right-hander was destroyed by the Tigers the last time he pitched and has not been effective at the highest level. He should be avoided at all cost in all possible fantasy leagues.

Gordon walked one while striking out four opposing hitters on the night. He was up as the 27th man for Thursday’s doubleheader so his job was to give the Rockies length — meaning he had to stick around and absorb some innings after the Tigers struck for six runs in the third inning. To his credit though, he settled in nicely afterwards and the only other run he allowed came courtesy of the bullpen after Gordon exited in the seventh. He got 10 whiffs on 89 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 21 percent. He’ll be an option the next time the Rockies require a spot starter.

Gordon will take the ball for Thursday’s nightcap at Coors Field and is not a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes. The 27-year-old righty finished last year with a calamitous 8.65 ERA across eight starts for the Rockies.

Fernandez slugged 12 round-trippers last year in 122 games between Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque. The 22-year-old slugging corner outfielder has a shot at reaching Colorado later this summer. Gordon was hit hard in eight starts last year for the Rockies and will open the year in the upper minors as extra rotation depth.

Gordon was lit up for seven runs in 3 1/3 innings by the Tigers in a start Wednesday. He’s 0-6 with an 8.65 ERA in eight starts for the Rockies this season.

Gordon gave up 10 hits, walked none and struck out one. The Tigers ambushed Gordon with a six-run first inning that included home runs by Riley Greene and Trey Sweeney. Gordon is unusable in fantasy at the moment. He’s 0-6 with an 8.65 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 26 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings in eight major league starts this year. The 26-year-old right-hander is set to face the Diamondbacks at home next week if he remains in the rotation.

Gordon is taking the roster spot of Austin Gomber with Gomber away on the paternity list. Gordon has been awful in the majors with a 7.55 ERA and 1.58 WHIP, and he doesn’t offer any fantasy upside right now.
