Colton Gordon Recalled to Start Series Opener Against Rockies

Left-hander Colton Gordon has been recalled from Triple-A to make his first start of the season for the Houston Astros on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. Gordon takes the mound as the Astros look to snap an eight-game losing streak and navigate a difficult stretch plagued by injuries. He faces Rockies right-hander Michael Lorenzen in the series opener, providing a fresh arm for a Houston rotation currently seeking stability during a difficult 6-11 start to the 2026 campaign.
