Serves up four homers
Gordon allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Sunday.
Analyse
Gordon served up four home runs, which accounted for all of the runs on his line. The right-hander has given up 10 runs over 10 innings since returning from a hip inpingement. He's posted an 11:2 K:BB in that span, and both starts have come at Coors Field, which likely explains some of his struggles. Overall, Gordon has a 6.95 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 46:10 K:BB through 45.1 innings over 11 games (four starts). He's tentatively projected to make his next start in a road rematch versus the Giants.

Drawing another start
Gordon is slated to start Sunday's game against the Giants at Coors Field, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analyse
After being touched up by the Marlins for five runs in five innings during his return from the injured list Tuesday, Gordon carries a 6.69 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 40.1 innings across 10 appearances (three starts) this season. Despite that rough outing, the right-hander will be awarded a second turn through the rotation, but his grip on a starting role is tenuous. The Rockies called up one of their top pitching prospects, Gabriel Hughes, from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday, and while he's slated to work out of the bullpen initially, he could get a look as the club's No. 5 starter later this summer.

Lit up in return
Gordon (0-2) took the loss against Miami on Tuesday, allowing five runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Analyse
Gordon was able to return to action and throw 74 pitches after missing nearly a month due to a hip impingement. However, the right-hander found the sledding very tough, as he was tagged for four extra-base hits, the most damaging of which was a three-run homer by Javier Sanoja. The rough outing pushed Gordon's season ERA up to an ugly 6.69 to go along with a 1.59 WHIP over 89.1 innings. He's clearly struggled to get batters out, but the Rockies don't have many other rotation options, especially with Tomoyuki Sugano currently dealing with a finger injury.

Returns from IL
The Rockies reinstated Gordon (hip) from the injured list ahead of his start Tuesday against the Marlins.
Analyse
Gordon has been on the shelf since June 5 due to a hip impingement, but he'll now return to the Rockies' rotation after throwing four shutout innings during his lone rehab outing at Triple-A Albuquerque last Wednesday. He threw just 38 pitches during his minor-league appearance, so he could be subjected to a workload restriction during his first start back in the majors. Sean Sullivan was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Will start Tuesday
Gordon (hip) will start be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Marlins at Coors Field, Suzie Hunter of GuerillaSports.net reports.
Analyse
As expected, Gordon will slot back into the rotation this week after he had been on the shelf since June 5 due to a right hip impingement. The right-hander has struggled to find his footing so far this season through nine appearances (two starts), accruing a 6.37 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 35.1 innings. During his lone rehab start at Triple-A Albuquerque last week, Gordon tossed 38 pitches over four scoreless innings, so he'll likely be limited from a workload standpoint Tuesday.

Likely to enter rotation Tuesday
The Rockies are expected to activate Gordon (hip) from the 15-day injured list to start or pitch in bulk relief Tuesday against the Marlins at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Tomoyuki Sugano is nursing a finger injury that will result in him being pushed back in the pitching schedule a few days, so the Rockies will have an extra spot in the rotation this week that will likely fall to Gordon. The right-hander had posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 35.1 innings over nine appearances (two starts) with the Rockies before landing on the shelf June 5 due to a right hip impingement. Gordon covered four innings and 38 pitches in his lone rehab outing with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, so he could be in line for a light workload if he does in fact start for the Rockies on Tuesday.
