The Astros are adding left-hander Colton Gordon to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, ensuring he won't be selected.
Gordon, an eighth-round pick in 2021, has successfully played as a starter in the minors, showcasing a 3.74 ERA over 300 professional innings.
Despite a respectable 3.94 ERA in Triple-A this season, Gordon lacks high grades from evaluators, being ranked in the back half of the Astros' top 30.
With a solid strikeout rate and a manageable walk rate, Gordon could transition into a big league role as a spot starter or long reliever.
