Gordon got his feet wet at the big-league level in 2025, making 14 starts and six relief appearances for the Astros. Save for a four-start stretch in May when he collected a 2.14 ERA, it was an unremarkable debut. The southpaw exhibited excellent control with a five percent walk rate, but the bat-missing ability he showed in the minors (27 percent strikeout rate) didn't translate in the majors (19 percent strikeout rate). That's not terribly surprising, as Gordon is a soft tosser who gets by more on deception than stuff. He could get another chance to start some games for the Astros in 2026, but Gordon is likely a swingman-type in the long run whose fantasy value is limited. Read Past Outlooks
