Gordon (oblique) played catch on the field prior to Tuesday's game against the Giants, MLB.com reports.
Gordon has been sidelined since June 3 with an oblique strain, and Tuesday's throwing session was his first since he was placed on the injured list. There is no timeline for his return.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Out with oblique strain
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Gordon on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to May 31, due to a left oblique strain.
Gordon presumably sustained the injury during his start against the Cubs on Wednesday, when he gave up two runs on six hits with one strikeout and no walks over 4.2 innings. Regardless of the injury, the right-hander still may have lost his place in Colorado's rotation with Chase Dollander (forearm) returning from the IL to start Tuesday in Miami.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Gives up two runs in defeat
Rotowire
Gordon (1-2) took the loss against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out one batter over 4.2 innings.
Gordon fell behind quickly by allowing a run in the first inning, but Chicago was able to put just one additional run on the board (on a Pete Crow-Armstrong solo homer in the fourth frame). While Gordon notched just six whiffs and a single strikeout, he was effective in getting the ball over the plate, throwing a first-pitch strike to 14 of the 19 batters he faced and firing 56 strikes overall on 79 pitches. The right-hander gave up four earned runs over 6.1 frames against Detroit in his season debut May 8, but he's been steadier since then, allowing just four runs over 10.2 innings across his subsequent two starts against a pair of powerhouse offenses in the Yankees and Cubs. Ryan Feltner (back) is nearing a return from the IL, which could impact Gordon's spot in the rotation, but for the time being the latter is lined up for a road matchup against Miami next week.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Steady in first big-league win
Rotowire
Gordon (1-1) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Yankees on Friday.
Gordon kept a dangerous offense in check, though he was tagged for a couple of hard hits on scoring plays. Paul Goldschmidt supplied an RBI triple in the first inning and Aaron Judge launched a solo home run in the fifth to account for the two runs on Gordon's line. This was his first big-league win and just his second quality start in nine outings since he made his debut last season. Gordon has allowed six runs over 12.1 innings with a 9:3 K:BB in the majors this year. If he stays in the Rockies' rotation, he is tentatively lined up to face the Cubs on the road next week, but it's risky to expect a repeat performance of Friday's outing.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Gordon will draw the start at Coors Field for the series opener against the Yankees. He allowed seven runs (four earned) on nine hits and a walk across 6.1 innings in his major-league debut earlier this month, and given the matchup Friday he will be an extremely risky fantasy option.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Starting Friday
Rotowire
The Rockies are expected to recall Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Friday's game against the Yankees, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Gordon will be taking the place of Chase Dollander (forearm), who landed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. The 27-year-old Gordon gave up four earned runs in 6.1 innings during his season debut against the Tigers earlier this month, and he hasn't had much success in Triple-A either, logging a 6.23 ERA and 1.72 WHIP across 39 frames. Given his recent body of work and an upcoming matchup against one of the most formidable offenses in the majors, fantasy managers are safe to keep Gordon off their radar.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Returned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Gordon was returned to Triple-A Albuquerque following Colorado's doubleheader against the Tigers on Thursday.
Gordon started the second game of the doubleheader and was knocked around for seven runs (four earned) on nine hits and a walk across 6.1 innings. While he took the loss, he did manage to give the Rockies some length to avoid overtaxing the bullpen. The outing was Gordon's ninth overall start in the majors, and there's a strong chance he's back in Colorado at some point later in the summer.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Slated to start Thursday
Rotowire
Rockies manager Bud Black said that Gordon will be called up form Triple-A Albquerque to start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
After the Rockies' series opener with the Tigers on Tuesday was postponed due to inclement weather, the two teams will wrap up the three-game set with a doubleheader Thursday. Kyle Freeland will get the ball for the first game of the day, while Gordon will presumably be designated as the 27th man for the twin bill and will take the hill for the nightcap. Gordon made eight starts for the Rockies in 2024, going 0-6 while posting an 8.65 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over 34.1 innings. He's enjoyed more success across his six starts at Triple-A this season with a 4.82 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 28 innings.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Added for doubleheader
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Gordon from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his scheduled start in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Tigers at Coors Field.
Gordon is being designated as the Rockies' 27th man for the twin bill, so he's expected to be returned to Albuquerque immediately after the second game of the day. Over his six starts with Albuquerque this season, Gordon has turned in a 4.82 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 28 innings.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Dispatched to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Gordon made eight starts for the Rockies over the final three months of last season and logged an 8.65 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over 34.1 innings. With German Marquez, Antonio Senzatela and Kyle Freeland all healthy in spring training after missing considerable time in 2024, Gordon wasn't viewed as a strong candidate to crack the Opening Day rotation. He'll continue to handle a starting role in Albuquerque to begin the upcoming season.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Moved back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
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.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Mauled by Tigers
Rotowire
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.
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 hadn'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.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Starting Wednesday's game
Rotowire
Gordon will start for the Rockies on Wednesday in Detroit, MLB.com reports.
Gordon will be making a spot start in place of Austin Gomber (personal), who was placed on the paternity list Tuesday. The right-hander 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.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Gordon to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
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.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Remains winless
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Pulled in first inning, takes loss
Rotowire
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 strikeout.
Gordon failed to make it through a disastrous first inning that included two errors by the Colorado 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 only 24 of his 44 pitches for strikes, after he'd turned in a 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.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Impressive in no-decision
Rotowire
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.
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 after that and collected a career-high seven punchouts in an 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.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Staying in rotation
Rotowire
Gordon is scheduled to start Friday's game against Atlanta at Coors FIeld.
He'll be making his second straight turn through the Colorado rotation, and Gordon looks like he'll be sticking around for the foreseeable future with Ryan Feltner (shoulder) going on the injured list Thursday and German Marquez (elbow) having been 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.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Sharp in Saturday's start
Rotowire
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.
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' chances at a 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, though that could change if German Marquez (elbow) doesn't require a rehab assignment.
