Jun 28 2025Gilbert settled for the no-decision after throwing 5.1 innings, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven in Friday's 7-6 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since his opening start of the year when he went seven strong, Gilbert has failed to pitch into the seventh inning in nine starts since. Along with the inability to work deep into ballgames, keeping the ball in the ballpark has been a struggle for the 28-year-old as well as he's allowed a home run in four straight outings. The right-hander is lined up to face the Royals in his next start.
Jun 22 2025Gilbert (2-2) allowed four runs on eight hits over five innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert gave up one run through four innings before the Cubs scored three in the fifth. All four runs scored against him came via home runs, including two by Seiya Suzuki, but Seattle's 14-run outburst still led to a victory. Gilbert entered Sunday with just four homers allowed through 35.1 innings this season. He's posted a 16:1 K:BB in 10 innings since returning from the injured list and now owns a 60:7 K:BB with a 3.12 ERA across eight appearances. Gilbert generated 18 whiffs on 90 pitches Sunday, including eight with his splitter. His next start is projected to be on the road against Texas.
Jun 17 2025Gilbert (1-2) was the pitcher of record in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Red Sox, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert returned to the mound following a nearly eight-week absence due to an elbow flexor strain. The right-hander didn't show any signs of rust, as he tallied an impressive 21 whiffs en route to tying a season high with 10 strikeouts. Despite the fantastic outing, Gilbert took his second loss, as four Red Sox pitchers managed to shut out the Mariners offense while allowing just four hits. The positive news for Seattle is that Gilbert tossed 84 pitches and appeared fully back to form, though he's in line for a tough test in what projects to be a matchup against the Cubs in his next start.
Jun 16 2025The Mariners activated Gilbert (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's set to make his long-awaited return to the Mariners' rotation Monday versus the Red Sox after missing nearly two months of action with a flexor strain. Gilbert threw 72 pitches across five scoreless innings during his final rehab start, so he should face only minor workload restrictions in his first outing back with the big club.
Jun 15 2025Manager Dan Wilson said Gilbert (elbow) will come off the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game against the Red Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander has been sidelined since late April due to a flexor strain, but he's ready to rejoin Seattle's rotation after a three-start rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. Gilbert threw 72 pitches across five scoreless innings during his final rehab outing Tuesday, so he may face some minor workload limitations for his first start or two back with the Mariners.
Jun 13 2025Gilbert (elbow) is throwing a bullpen session Friday, and if all goes well, he will make his next start with the Mariners, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert made three rehab starts and is currently with the team at T-Mobile Park on Friday. If he doesn't endure a setback during Friday's bullpen session, he would be in line to make his return to the rotation. If that's the case, he'd likely pitch during a three-game home set against Boston that begins Monday.
Jun 11 2025Gilbert (elbow) struck out six batters and gave up one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings in his rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Tacoma. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In what was expected to be his third and final rehab start with Tacoma before he returns from the 15-day injured list, Gilbert aced the test with flying colors. He pushed his pitch count up to 72 (43 strikes) in Tuesday's outing and retired 13 consecutive batters at one point during the contest. He also made full use of his arsenal, including incorporating a few splitters, an offering that's often difficult for pitchers to reliably depend on coming back from a flexor strain. Gilbert has been on a five-day rest schedule during his rehab assignment, so the assumption is that he'll return from the IL next Monday to start the first game of the Mariners' home series versus Boston.
Jun 6 2025Gilbert (elbow) will make a third rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Gilbert threw 60 pitches in Wednesday's minor-league outing, the Mariners have opted to have him make one more appearance on his assignment before rejoining the major-league roster. The right-hander will aim to further build up his pitch count, and his next start after Tuesday could come from Seattle's rotation if all goes well. Gilbert's velocity was slightly diminished in his second rehab appearance, so that will be something to monitor in his third outing.
Jun 4 2025Gilbert (elbow) gave up two earned runs on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts in three innings during Wednesday's rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Working his way back from a right elbow flexor strain, Gilbert was able to get up to 60 pitches in his second minor-league outing. The Mariners have not yet determined whether the right-hander will need another rehab appearance before rejoining the rotation, but a return early next week in Arizona against the Diamondbacks remains a possibility. Once Gilbert is ready to be activated from the injured list, Emerson Hancock stands out as the most likely candidate to be optioned to the minors to make room on the roster.
Jun 3 2025Gilbert (elbow) will make his second rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Dan Wilson said Tuesday that the Mariners will re-evaluate Gilbert following his minor-league outing. If all goes well, Wednesday's appearance could be the right-hander's last during his assignment as he works his way back from a right elbow flexor strain. Gilbert's earliest possible return to Seattle's rotation looks to be some time early next week, when the team begins a three-game series Monday against the Diamondbacks in Arizona.
May 29 2025Gilbert (elbow) threw 1.2 innings, allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out three during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This marked Gilbert's first rehab appearance, and the results were mixed. His surface stats were poor, but he managed to build up to 45 pitches while also hitting 96.8 mph with his fastball. He'll likely need at least one more rehab outing or two before being activated from the 15-day injred list.
May 24 2025Gilbert (elbow) completed a simulated game ahead of Friday's game against the Astros, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert, who is recovering from a right elbow flexor strain, threw approximately 35 pitches in addition to 20 warmup pitches. The right-hander's next steps could be another simulated session before then starting a minor-league rehab assignment to further build up, which could include multiple starts. Although it sounds like Gilbert is unlikely to rejoin Seattle's rotation prior to the end of May, he still has a chance to return at some point in early June if all continues to go well in his throwing progression.
May 22 2025Gilbert (elbow) is scheduled to throw a simulated game ahead of Friday's game against the Astros, Tim Booth of the Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert threw his first up-and-down bullpen session last Saturday, and he's now set to advance in his throwing progression. The right-hander is working his way back from a right elbow flexor strain, and he still has a chance to return to the Mariners' rotation before the end of May if all continues to go well. That said, Seattle's plans for Gilbert remain undecided as it relates to a possible rehab assignment, but the righty's next steps should become clearer following Friday's session.
May 17 2025Gilbert (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This marked Gilbert's second bullpen session since landing on the injured list, though he didn't increase his pitch count. It's a positive sign that he's been able two times in the span of five days, but there is still no clear timeline for his return. PerDaniel Kramer of MLB.com, Gilbert will throw another bullpen session before progressing to live batting practice.
May 13 2025Gilbert (elbow) threw roughly 25 pitches in Tuesday's bullpen session, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was able to ramp up the intensity for his final few throws of the day, exceeding 94 mph on multiple occasions. Most importantly, the right-hander didn't experience any discomfort in his elbow following the session. Gilbert will likely begin a rehab assignment in the near future, presumably one consisting of multiple starts before he returns to the major-league roster.
May 12 2025Gilbert (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This will mark Gilbert's first official bullpen since being placed on the 15-day injured list with an elbow injury at the end of April, though he reportedly threw off a mound Sunday to a standing catcher. The team has yet to reveal a concrete timetable for Gilbert's return. However, the right-hander will likely need to make at least one or two appearances in the minors before being activated.
May 10 2025Gilbert (elbow) could throw off a mound by the end of Seattle's current six-game homestand that extends until Wednesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert played catch prior to Friday's series opener against the Blue Jays, and it sounds like he's inching toward taking the next step in his throwing progression. The right-hander is recovering from a mild right flexor strain, and Kramer notes it's possible that Gilbert won't need as many rehab starts as teammate George Kirby (shoulder), who is expected to make three appearances in the minors before rejoining Seattle's rotation. However, Gilbert still has some hurdles to clear before reaching that checkpoint, so it remains difficult to gauge whether he'll be able to return before the end of the month.
May 2 2025Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Friday on MLB Network that he's "hopeful" Gilbert (elbow) will rejoin the rotation before the end of May, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert is on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 flexor strain in his pitching arm. He's about a week into a two-week shutdown period, so more should be known about a potential timetable for the right-hander late next week. It's not clear whether the Mariners will ask Gilbert to make a rehab start before returning.
Apr 19 2025Gilbert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While the right-hander continues to pile up strikeouts, his dominance is coming at the cost of some efficiency. Gilbert has failed to last six innings in four straight starts, getting an early hook in this one after 102 pitches (68 strikes), including 19 swinging strikes. Gilbert will take a 2.63 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 41:6 K:BB through 27.1 innings -- but only one win and one quality start in five outings -- into his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Marlins.
Apr 14 2025Gilbert (1-1) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven in five innings in a win over the Rangers on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert had to work hard to get through the first two frames, needing 46 pitches to do so. His one big mistake came in the second inning after allowing a solo home run to Dustin Harris. Gilbert went on to retire 12 of the next 13 hitters following the long ball. He's allowed a home run in three of four starts thus far but also has allowed just 11 hits while punching out 32 batters in in 22.2 innings. Gilbert will look to continue his success in a road start versus Toronto this coming weekend.
Apr 7 2025Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Monday against Houston after allowing one run on one hit and two walks in 5.2 innings, striking out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although he wasn't able to make it through six innings despite throwing 99 pitches, Gilbert took a no-hit bid into the sixth frame before Jose Altuve took him deep to break it up. Gilbert was also in line for the win Monday, but the Astros took a temporary 3-2 lead in the eighth before the Mariners climbed back in front in the bottom of the frame. The 27-year-old right-hander boasts a 2.55 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB across 17.2 innings (three starts) ahead of his next scheduled start this weekend at home against Texas.
Apr 2 2025Gilbert (0-1) took the loss Tuesday as the Mariners were downed 4-1 by the Tigers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out 10. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Detroit got its hits in bunches, while Seattle managed only one hit the entire night off Casey Mize and the Tigers' bullpen -- a leadoff single by Victor Robles in the first inning. Gilbert was still dominant despite the lack of run support, generating 22 swinging strikes among his 92 pitches. The right-hander has an eye-popping 18:1 K:BB through his first 12 innings of 2025, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Astros.
Mar 28 2025Gilbert didn't factor in the decision Thursday against the Athletics after striking out eight and giving up one run on two hits and no walks over seven innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander kept the A's off the board aside from a solo homer by Tyler Soderstrom in the fifth inning, as Gilbert and Luis Severino engaged in a pitcher's duel before the two bullpens combined to allow five runs across the seventh and eighth innings. Gilbert consistently worked ahead in the count and threw a first-pitch strike to 22 of the 23 batters he faced. He's established himself as one of the most reliable starters in MLB and could contend for the AL Cy Young Award in 2025, especially if he can improve even slightly on his 3.23 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 220:37 K:BB across 208.2 innings from last year.
Mar 15 2025Gilbert will start Opening Day, March 27 against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert hasn't been as effective this spring compared to his usual self, giving up four runs on three hits and five walks while striking out eight batters over 5.1 innings. However, he's been the epitome of consistency on the mound for Seattle, making at least 32 starts in each of the last three seasons and finishing last season with career highs in innings (208.2) and strikeouts (220). He'll have a chance to ease into the new season by making his first start against an Athletics squad that finished 2024 with a .694 OPS (20th in MLB).
Mar 8 2025Gilbert gave up two runs on two hits and two walks in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, striking out three in 1.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert served up two home runs, one off the bat of Pete Crow-Armstrong and another to Miguel Amaya in the second inning. In three Cactus League starts during exhibition play, Gilbert holds a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with eight punchouts over 5.1 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander received the first All-Star nod of his career and led MLB in WHIP (0.89), innings pitched (208.2) and starts (33) in 2024, and Gilbert's spot atop Seattle's rotation should carry even more importance while George Kirby (shoulder) is shut down from throwing.
Jan 9 2025Gilbert agreed to a one-year, $7.625 million contract with the Mariners on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander led MLB with 208.2 innings last season and had a 3.23 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 220:37 K:BB as he made a career-high 33 starts. Gilbert picked up just nine wins despite his strong performance, but he has quickly established himself as one of the more reliable pitchers in baseball with a 3.60 ERA in 121 starts through his first four big-league seasons.
Sep 29 2024Gilbert (9-12) allowed one hit and struck out seven without walking a batter over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was perfect into the sixth inning before Nick Allen hit a two-out single to end his day. Gilbert ends the regular season as the major-league leader in innings pitched with 208.2, two ahead of Kansas City's Seth Lugo. While he alternated between good and poor starts in September, Gilbert was generally one of the steadiest members of a strong Seattle rotation. He finished the campaign with a 3.23 ERA, led all major-league starters with a 0.89 WHIP and added a 220:37 K:BB over 33 starts, though he missed the 10-win mark for the first time in three years.
Sep 24 2024Gilbert (8-12) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to take the loss versus the Astros on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was just the fifth time all year that Gilbert gave up multiple home runs, as the Astros were able to tag him for three of them. Over five starts in September, Gilbert has allowed 16 runs over 31.1 innings, including eight homers, despite a 41:6 K:BB. He's now at a 3.33 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 213:37 K:BB through 203 innings over 32 starts this season. He is not currently projected to pitch again in the regular season, though he would be on regular rest if the Mariners have anything to play for in their last game Sunday versus the Athletics.
Sep 19 2024Gilbert (8-11) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Yankees. He struck out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was afforded an early three-run lead then held the Yankees in check, with the only damage coming by way of a two-run homer in the third off the bat of Jazz Chisholm. Gilbert's whiff of Giancarlo Stanton to end the first gave him 200 on the season, marking the first time in Gilbert's four-year career he's reached the 200-strikeout milestone. He ended the day with nine strikeouts, one shy of matching a season high. Gilbert is set up to make two more starts this season, with his next one slated to take place in Houston against the first-place Astros.
Sep 15 2024Gilbert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's win over the Rangers, allowing four earned runs on six hits, a walk and a wild pitch over six innings. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander allowed at least four runs for the fourth time in the last six starts, with two-run home runs by Leody Taveras and Marcus Semien in the third and fifth innings, respectively, accounting for the damage. On the brighter side, Gilbert was able to continue generating plenty of swings and misses, notching 15 whiffs among his 97 pitches while extending his streak of starts with at least six Ks to eight outings. Gilbert pushed his career-high strikeout total to 198 as well with Saturday's production, and he'll once again aim for his eighth victory in a projected road rematch with the Rangers on Friday night.
Sep 7 2024Gilbert (7-11) took the loss Saturday versus the Cardinals, throwing a complete game (eight innings) in which he allowed two runs on two hits, a walk and a hit-by pitch while striking out 10. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was just about at his best Saturday, but a hit batsman and a Pedro Pages two-run home run in the eighth inning sent him to the unlucky loss. This was Gilbert's fifth quality start in seven outings since the start of August. He's covered eight innings on four occasions this year, though this was his first complete game of the campaign. The 27-year-old is now at a 3.15 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 191:33 K:BB through 185.2 innings over 29 starts this season. Gilbert is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rangers.
Sep 2 2024Gilbert did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert generated an impressive 16 whiffs on 95 pitches but was burned by a four-run third inning that included a three-run homer by Shea Langeliers. The 27-year-old has been inconsistent since the All-Star break, logging five quality starts while yielding 17 total earned runs in his other three outings. On the season, he owns a 3.19 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 181:32 K:BB across 177.2 innings and lines up to face the Cardinals on Saturday.
Aug 28 2024Gilbert tossed six scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and striking out 10 without a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Rays. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert dominated the Rays, posting his second scoreless start this month and seventh of the season. It was also his first time this year with double-digit strikeouts. Gilbert's night was over after 97 pitches and his strong effort was spoiled the very next inning after JT Chargois gave up a two-run blast to Jose Siri. Gilbert owns an impressive 3.09 ERA, 0.90 ERA and 172:31 K:BB in 171.2 innings and lines up to face the Athletics on Monday as part of a projected two-start week.
Aug 22 2024Gilbert (7-10) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing eight runs (six earned) on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert retired the first eight batters he faced in the contest before a fielding error from Leo Rivas caused the first runner to reach for the Dodgers. The right-hander would then allow a two-run double to Mookie Betts before surrendering another six runs over the next two frames. It marked Gilbert's shortest outing this month after previously going at least six innings in three straight starts. He's now lost five of his last six starts, posting a 4.89 ERA over that stretch to go along with a 38:6 K:BB.
Aug 17 2024Gilbert (7-9) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over 6.1 innings as the Mariners fell 5-3 to the Pirates. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander delivered his third straight quality start and MLB-leading 20th of the season on 96 pitches (58 strikes), but it took a Cal Raleigh throwing error on a stolen-base attempt by Michael Taylor in the fifth inning to keep him under four earned runs. Through three outings in August, Gilbert has posted a 1.86 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB through 19.1 innings, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Dodgers.
Aug 11 2024Gilbert (7-8) earned the win over the Mets on Saturday, hurling seven shutout innings while allowing three hits and one walk. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert didn't allow a runner to reach second base over the course of his seven shutout frames, posting three 1-2-3 innings on the night while generating 15 swings-and-misses. It marked the right-hander's fifth outing this season in which he's hurled at least seven scoreless innings and the second in his past five starts. Gilbert has also surrendered one run or fewer in four of his last five outings, posting a 34:2 K:BB over that stretch.
Aug 5 2024Gilbert (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing one run on four hits while striking out seven over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert surrendered a leadoff home run to Kyle Schwarber and went on to cruise from there. He struck out the next three batters in the opening frame and would retire nine of the next 10 hitters he faced through the third inning. Despite another impressive effort from Gilbert, he lost the pitcher's duel to Zack Wheeler, who blanked the Mariners through eight innings, leaving Gilbert with his third consecutive loss. Still, Gilbert posted his 18th quality start of the year, which puts him in a tie with Corbin Burnes for the most in baseball. Gilbert owns a 3.05 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 143:26 K:BB in 147.2 innings and will look to change his fortunes in a meeting with the Mets over the weekend.
Jul 29 2024Gilbert (6-7) took the loss Monday against the Red Sox, allowing seven runs on seven hits over 2.2 innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert got through the first two innings clean and then proceeded to allow all seven of his runs with two outs in the third before being pulled. The 2.2 innings is his shortest start of the season and his shortest since 2021. The seven runs allowed are his second most this season, he also allowed four extra-base hits, which is tied for his most in any start in 2024. This can be chalked up to a bad night for the 27-year-old, as he entered Monday with a 1.85 ERA in his previous seven starts.
Jul 24 2024Gilbert (6-6) took the loss to the Angels on Tuesday, allowing five runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over 6.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert retired the first 12 batters he faced before things completely unraveled in the fifth. He allowed three base hits in the inning, and two throwing errors played a part in the Angels tacking on all five of their runs in the frame. Still, it was his third straight start of more than six innings, a span during which he's compiled a 24:2 K:BB in 21.1 innings. Gilbert only has one win over his last five starts despite posting four quality starts over that timeframe. He now has a 2.72 ERA (fifth lowest in MLB) and an 0.86 WHIP (lowest in MLB) to complement a 132:26 K:BB in 139 innings and lines up to face the Red Sox on the road to begin next week.
Jul 15 2024Gilbert tossed seven scoreless innings Sunday against the Angels, allowing just two hits and no walks while striking out nine. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was magnificent once again and had another strong start wasted by the bullpen. Gilbert exited with a 2-0 lead that vanished in the eighth inning after two walks and a three-run homer by Jo Adell put the Angels in front for good. Sunday was the fifth time this season that Gilbert did not allow a run in a start and his nine strikeouts tied a season high. The 27-year-old will head into the break with a 2.79 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 124:25 K:BB in 132.1 innings. Since he pitched Sunday, Gilbert will not be available to throw in Tuesday's All-Star Game.
Jul 10 2024Gilbert (6-5) got the win Tuesday over the Padres, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over 7.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three runs against Gilbert came at the tail end of his outing. He allowed a solo home run to Jake Cronenworth in the seventh, and Kyle Higashioka added on with a two-run blast in the eighth to force Gilbert's exit from the game. Tuesday was just the third time this year he's allowed multiple home runs in a start, but also was the first time this season he's picked up a win while allowing more than one run. The 27-year-old recently was named an All-Star for the first time in his four-year career, and rightfully so, as he sports a 2.94 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 115:25 K:BB in 125.1 innings so far. He lines up for a Sunday start against the Angels this weekend before the league heads into the All-Star break.
Jul 4 2024Gilbert (5-5) took the loss against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over 5.1 innings while striking out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Three of the four runs charged to Gilbert came across in the third inning when he walked two of the first four batters he faced, and he then surrendered three consecutive two-out hits. The right-hander gave up a solo shot to Ryan O'Hearn in the fifth, marking the first time he's given up four or more runs in his last six outings. Gilbert had gone at least six innings in nine consecutive starts coming into Wednesday's loss, while the three walks were the most he's issued since May 14 against the Royals, which covers a span of nine starts.
Jun 28 2024Gilbert allowed two runs on four hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert had posted back-to-back starts of eight shutout innings, so this was a small step back. It was an improvement on his previous start versus the Twins, in which he allowed a season-high eight runs over four innings in Minnesota on May 9. Since that start, Gilbert has completed at least six frames in each of his last nine outings, earning eight quality starts in that span. He's at a stellar 2.72 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 102:21 K:BB over 112.1 innings across 17 outings this season. Gilbert's lined up for a tough matchup versus the Orioles in his next projected start.
Jun 22 2024Gilbert (5-4) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out six batters over eight scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert's superb stat line was just a tad less impressive than in his previous outing, when he allowed two hits and struck out nine over eight scoreless frames against Texas. The right-hander has been on a roll throughout June -- he's tossed four quality starts in four outings this month while posting a 1.21 ERA over 29.2 innings. Perhaps most impressive is Gilbert's 28:1 K:BB over that span.
Jun 16 2024Gilbert (4-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing two hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over eight scoreless innings against Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert generated 21 whiffs Sunday, punching out eight batters for the fourth time this season while blanking the Rangers. The 27-year-old has now gone deeper than six innings in three straight starts and has walked merely one batter across his last 33.2 innings. He's tied with Corbin Burnes and Tanner Houck for the league lead with 12 quality starts and paces MLB with 98.1 innings pitched. Gilbert is lined up for a start in pitcher-friendly LoanDepot Park next weekend.
Jun 10 2024Gilbert allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over 6.2 innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert got through five scoreless frames before Luis Robert tagged him for a two-run homer in the sixth. The righty hurler returned for the seventh and gave up another run on a pair of hits before being pulled with two outs. Though he faded over his final two innings, Gilbert tied his second-highest strikeout total of the campaign and finished with his fifth quality start over his past six outings. However, he hasn't earned any victories over that stretch despite posting a solid 3.52 ERA.
Jun 5 2024Gilbert (3-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and struck out five without walking a batter over seven innings, but he took the loss Wednesday versus the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert can only be partly to blame for this loss, as his throwing error on a pickoff attempt put Daz Cameron in position to score on a passed ball in the fifth inning. The Mariners' lack of offense was the other problem, which led to Gilbert taking his fourth loss in his last six outings. He's turned in a quality start in four of those games despite the lack of wins. The right-hander is at a 3.12 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 76:20 K:BB through 83.2 innings over 13 starts this season. Gilbert is projected for a favorable home matchup versus the last-place White Sox his next time out.
May 30 2024Gilbert (3-3) took the loss against Houston on Thursday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert began his outing with three scoreless frames, but homers by Alex Bregman and Victor Caratini plated three runs for the Astros across the fourth and fifth innings. Gilbert still had a chance to extend his three-game quality-start streak, but that was extinguished when he gave up another run in the sixth. The right-hander still has a solid 3.29 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 76.2 innings on the campaign.
May 25 2024Gilbert gave up one run on three hits over six innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Saturday. He struck out four without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert allowed a run in the second inning on a couple singles, a stolen base and a sacrifice fly, but that was the extent of the damage. While his efforts weren't rewarded with a win, Gilbert continued his run of strong pitching with a third consecutive quality start since his eight-run hiccup in Minnesota on May 9. Gilbert is tied with Jose Berrios and Seth Lugo for the most quality starts in baseball this season with nine in 11 turns to date.
May 20 2024Gilbert allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings in a no-decision Monday. He struck out one during the win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert coughed up two runs in the first inning but was still able to settle in for a quality start. He produced a stellar 1.69 ERA through his first seven starts but has seen that climb to 3.20 after allowing 14 runs over his last 16.2 frames. On the bright side, two of those outings were quality starts. Gilbert recorded only one strikeout with five whiffs, with both setting new season lows. His next start is lined up to be in Washington this weekend.
May 14 2024Gilbert (3-2) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert gave up just four baserunners over the first six innings. He went back out for the seventh, but two walks and a Nelson Velazquez home run ended his outing in unfortunate fashion. It's a significant improvement on the eight-run fiasco he had in Minnesota in his last start, but it's still a second straight loss for 27-year-old. He's pitched to a 3.07 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB over 58.2 innings over nine starts this season. Gilbert is projected for a tough road start versus the Yankees his next time out.
May 9 2024Gilbert (3-1) took the loss Thursday against the Twins, allowing eight runs on nine hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Five of Minnesota's runs came in the first inning, including three on a Manuel Margot double. Gilbert hadn't allowed more than two earned runs in his last five starts, recording quality starts in six of his previous seven outings. His ERA went from 1.69 to 2.94 after Thursday with a 0.94 WHIP and 54:15 K:BB across 52 innings. Gilbert will look to get back on track in his next turn in the rotation, currently scheduled for next week against Kansas City.
May 4 2024Gilbert (3-0) earned the win over Houston on Saturday, allowing two hits and four walks while striking out six batters over eight scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert tied a season-high mark with four walks, but that didn't hurt him since he gave up just a pair of hits (both singles). The right-hander notched his fifth straight quality start and lowered his season ERA to 1.69, fifth-lowest among qualified MLB pitchers. Gilbert also ranks fifth among qualified starters with a 0.79 WHIP while registering a 50:13 K:BB through 48 innings on the campaign.
Apr 29 2024Gilbert did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out nine in 6.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert allowed an early solo home run to Christian Walker in the second. He was then able to keep the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard until Eugenio Suarez doubled home another run in the seventh to even things up at 2-2, ultimately knocking Gilbert from the game and spoiling his chance at a win. Still, it was another excellent outing from the 27-year-old. His nine strikeouts were a season-high and he's managed to go at least six innings and all but one start so far. Gilbert now owns a sparkling 2.03 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 44:9 K:BB in 40 innings and lines up to face the Astros on the road next weekend.
Apr 23 2024Gilbert (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday against Texas, allowing two hits and four walks across 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert surpassed six innings pitched for the fourth time in five starts this season, notching his first scoreless outing of the campaign. He battled issues with command and walked a pair of batters in the first but otherwise kept himself out of danger. He was removed from the contest with runners on first and third but was saved by Ryne Stanek, who forced Leody Taveras into an inning-ending groundout. Gilbert has posted four quality starts this season and boasts the most innings pitched (33.2) of anybody with fewer than six starts. He's scheduled for a Sunday start against Arizona.
Apr 17 2024Gilbert (1-0) earned the win over the Reds on Tuesday, allowing just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out six over 6.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert put together another stellar outing and was able to face the minimum through four innings before the Reds tacked on a run in the fifth. Tuesday's outing marks his third start in four tries this season going at least 6.2 innings and giving up one earned run or fewer. He now owns a 2.33 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 29:4 K:BB in 27 innings. His 0.78 WHIP is tied for third in the majors among pitchers who have thrown at least 20 innings this year. Gilbert projects to take the mound again next week in a road matchup against the Rangers.
Apr 10 2024Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 7.2 innings. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was excellent Wednesday, holding the Blue Jays scoreless through six innings before allowing a lone run on a Vladimir Guerrero homer in the seventh. The 26-year-old Gilbert has struck out 23 batters through his first three starts, ranked second-most in the league in the early going -- he's averaging 10.18 K/9 this year, up from his career average of 8.97. While Gilbert has yet to earn a win this year, he's posted an impressive 2.66 ERA with a 0.84 WHIP through his first 20.1 innings. Gilbert currently lines up for a home matchup with the Reds in his next outing.
Apr 5 2024Gilbert yielded four runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 inning and did not factor in the decision Friday. He fanned seven batters during the loss to Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert served up three solo homers Friday, including one to Willy Adames in the second inning to open the scoring. Last season, Gilbert allowed three homers just one time in his 32 starts. The 26-year-old forced 13 whiffs Friday, with five coming via the slider. Gilbert is currently on track for a start in Toronto next week.
Mar 31 2024Gilbert tossed seven innings in a no-decision against Boston on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out eight batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert threw a first-pitch strike to 18 of the 26 batters he faced and gave up just one extra-base hit -- a fifth-inning Ceddanne Rafaela leadoff double that led to the lone run Boston managed against the hurler. Gilbert also induced a healthy 16 swinging strikes en route to fanning eight Red Sox batters. Though Seattle's offense was unable to produce enough to get Gilbert a win, this was an excellent first start for the right-hander, who is looking to build off last year's 3.73 ERA and career-best 1.08 WHIP.
Mar 25 2024Gilbert allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a Cactus League tie with the Cubs on Sunday. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was tagged for solo home runs by Michael Busch and Garrett Cooper in the third and fifth inning, respectively, for the only two runs he surrendered, but the right-hander otherwise put together an encouraging tune-up for the regular season. Gilbert finished the Cactus League slate with a 6.75 ERA across 16 innings, yet almost all his trouble was limited to two of his five starts. Gilbert finished with a 14:2 K:BB across the 9.2 innings covering his last two spring turns, and he'll now turn his attention to his regular-season debut Saturday against the Red Sox.
Mar 14 2024Gilbert has allowed a combined 10 runs on nine hits, three walks and a hit batsman over the 4.1 innings covering his last two Cactus League starts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The talented right-hander was hit hard by both the Rangers and Padres in those outings, giving up a pair of home runs to the latter. However, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports manager Scott Servais wasn't discouraged by Gilbert's overall performance versus San Diego, with the Seattle skipper noting "Logan's stuff today was the best it has been all spring," while complimenting the life on his fastball and the late movement on his secondary pitches after that outing. Gilbert maintains he feels "pretty comfortable" after three Cactus League outings, and he lines up for what will likely be two more opportunities to work out any kinks before the start of the season.
Feb 28 2024Gilbert did not factor into the decision in the Mariners' Cactus League loss to the Royals on Wednesday, firing two scoreless innings during which he issued a walk and recorded three strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Seattle's bullpen would go on to surrender nine runs, Gilbert's dominant performance did not portend any of what was to come. The talented right-hander put together a nearly perfect performance as he begins a process of trying to be more creative with his pitch mix in deeper counts and attacking right-handed hitters, who have a .741 OPS against him thus far in his career. Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports Gilbert feels the most comfortable he has to date entering a season, partly due to his experience and the addition of a splitter that he is hoping will make him less predictable. "I have more options this year," Gilbert said. "The main thing is just not getting yourself boxed in, especially in this league. ,,,I have to really find a way to get myself out if I get myself in a jam with guys on and I'm behind in the count, being able to get out of that. And I think I have the weapons to do that now."
Jan 11 2024The Mariners and Gilbert avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.05 million contract Thursday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert is a Super 2 qualifier, so he'll get a nice raise. The right-hander boasts a 3.76 ERA and 491:113 K:BB over 495.2 innings covering 88 starts during his three seasons in Seattle. He'll be part of what should be another strong Mariners rotation again in 2024.
Sep 28 2023Gilbert allowed two runs on three hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was better than the line suggests -- two of the three hits he allowed were solo home runs to Leody Taveras and Adolis Garcia. The Mariners got him off the hook with a walk-off win. Over six starts in September, Gilbert allowed 16 runs across 35.2 innings while adding a 36:8 K:BB in that span. He is presumably done for the regular season, ending at a 3.73 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 189:36 K:BB over a career-high 190.2 innings in 32 starts. Should the Mariners force their way into the playoffs, Gilbert would likely take the mound during the wild-card series.
Sep 24 2023Gilbert (13-7) took the loss against Texas on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert wasn't exactly impressive in the outing, notching twice as many walks (four) as punchouts (two), though one of the free passes was intentional. Still, the right-hander fell one out shy of a quality start and kept Seattle in the contest despite a listless performance by the team's offense. Gilbert was tagged with his second straight loss after going 8-0 over 13 games between July 4 and Sept. 11. He lines up for one more regular-season start, tentatively slated as a rematch with Texas late next week, this time in Seattle.
Sep 17 2023Gilbert (13-6) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The loss was Gilbert's first since June 28, and this was just the fourth time in 30 starts he's allowed five or more runs. The Dodgers got to him early, as they scored four times over the first two innings, helped by home runs from Jason Heyward and Austin Barnes. Despite the poor start, Gilbert is still at a solid 3.77 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and 182:32 K:BB through 179 innings this season. He's projected for a road start versus the Rangers in his next outing.
Sep 11 2023Gilbert allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was mostly solid aside from a pair of home runs by Logan O'Hoppe that accounted for all three runs on the Seattle starter's line. Gilbert has four quality starts in his last five outings, and he hasn't taken a loss since June 28. He's at a 3.62 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 176:31 K:BB through 174 innings over 29 starts this season. The 26-year-old is projected for a tough home start against the Dodgers this weekend.
Sep 7 2023Gilbert (13-5) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in an 8-4 victory over the Reds. He struck out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander won his eighth straight decision, a streak that dates back to the beginning of July, with another strong performance that saw him generate 37 called or swinging strikes among his 96 pitches. Gilbert sports a 2.89 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 78:11 K:BB through 74.2 innings over the course of his undefeated streak, and his next win will establish a new career high at 14. He'll look for it in his next start, likely to come at home early next week against the Angels.
Sep 2 2023Gilbert didn't factor into the decision in the Mariners' loss to the Mets on Friday, recording nine strikeouts while allowing an earned run on seven hits and no walks over 6.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander served up his third straight quality start but failed to come up with his third victory in that span thanks to the dominance of opposing starter Kodai Senga. Gilbert pounded 67 of his 97 pitches in for strikes while making just one major mistake in the form of a sixth-inning, game-tying solo home run by Brandon Nimmo. He has now allowed three runs or less in six of his last seven turns, a stretch in which he boasts a 4-0 mark, 2.70 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 9.6 K/9 across 43.1 innings. Gilbert's next opportunity to get back in the win column arrives in a tough road matchup against the Reds next week.
Aug 26 2023Gilbert (12-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on two hits over seven innings against the Royals. He struck out seven and walked one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert dominated the Royals on Saturday, needing just 83 pitches to complete seven dazzling innings in a blowout victory. The 26-year-old right-hander's only blemish came on a Drew Waters solo shot in the 5th inning. Gilbert has recorded a quality start in five of his last six outings, compiling a record of 4-0 with a 2.95 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB across 36.2 innings during that stretch. Gilbert is projected to make a road start against the Mets next week.
Aug 19 2023Gilbert (11-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings against the Astros. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert turned in his fourth quality start of his last five appearances, allowing two runners to score despite surrendering eight hits Saturday. The win was his 11th of the campaign -- tied for the 10th most in MLB -- and marked his ninth consecutive start that didn't result in a loss. Over that stretch, Gilbert owns a 3.07 ERA and a 53:8 K:BB in 55.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Royals, who chased him after 4.1 innings the last time they met.
Aug 14 2023Gilbert yielded four runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Monday's loss to the Royals. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Most of the damage against Gilbert came in the first inning when he was tagged with a three-run shot by Salvador Perez. Since the start of July, Gilbert has posted a 3.08 ERA with a 50:7 K:BB across 49.2 frames. Through 24 starts this year, he's sporting a 3.80 ERA with a 143:26 K:BB. Gilbert's next outing is lined up to be in Houston this weekend.
Aug 8 2023Gilbert (10-5) struck out 12 and didn't walk a batter over seven innings of one-hit, shutout ball to earn the win Tuesday over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert's 12 strikeouts were a career high and just the second time he's reached double-digits this season. It was one of his sharpest outings and his third consecutive quality start. The 26-year-old right-hander trimmed his ERA to 3.66 with a 1.02 WHIP and 138:24 K:BB through 137.2 innings over 23 starts. He's lined up for a favorable road start in Kansas City next week.
Aug 2 2023Gilbert did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over six innings against the Red Sox. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jarren Duran's two-run homer in the third inning was the lone blemish on Gilbert's line Wednesday. The 26-year-old right-hander has held opponents to two runs or fewer in five of his last six starts -- he's 4-0 with a 2.82 ERA in that span (38.1 innings). Overall, Gilbert is 9-5 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 126:24 K:BB across 22 starts (130.2 innings) this season. He's currently slated for a home matchup with the Padres in his next outing.
Jul 28 2023Gilbert (9-5) allowed two runs on nine hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 6.1 innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert picked up his fourth win in his last five outings, and this was his third quality start in that span. The one knock on his performance was allowing a season-high nine hits. He's given up some lofty hit numbers lately -- he's allowed eight or more hits in four of his last nine outings -- but he was able to work around trouble Friday. The right-hander is now at a 3.83 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 121:21 K:BB through 124.2 innings over 21 starts. He's projected for a home start versus the Red Sox next week.
Jul 23 2023Gilbert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Blue Jays, giving up five runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was looking sharp through four innings, but the wheels came off in the fifth, as Gilbert served up homers to Kevin Kiermaier, Brandon Belt and Vladimir Guerrero before exiting in line for his sixth loss. However, he got off the hook with a no-decision when the Mariners had their own offensive outburst in the seventh. Gilbert hadn't been taken deep multiple times since June 11, and in the six starts between those performances he posted a 2.29 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB through 39.1 innings. He'll look to regain that form in his next outing, which is likely to come next weekend in Arizona.
Jul 17 2023Gilbert (8-5) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings to earn the win Monday over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert got a little extra time off when the Mariners reordered their rotation after the All-Star break. He was able to pick up his fourth win in his last five outings, but it was a bit shakier of a performance than usual for the right-hander. He's still allowed just eight runs over his last 34 innings. For the season, Gilbert owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 111:20 K:BB through 113.1 innings over 19 starts. He's lined up for a home start versus the Blue Jays this weekend.
Jul 14 2023Gilbert isn't projected to make a start this weekend against the Tigers, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Luis Castillo and George Kirby are confirmed for the first two games coming out of the All-Star break, and manager Scott Servais said the team will "likely" go with Bryce Miller (blister) on Sunday. Assuming Miller gets the ball Sunday, Gilbert will be pushed back to make his first start of the second half Monday at home against the Twins, followed by a second home start next weekend against the Blue Jays. Gilbert has posted a 3.05 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB over his last seven starts (44.1 innings).
Jul 10 2023Gilbert (7-5) got the win against the Astros on Sunday, allowing an earned run on three hits over seven innings. He struck out six and hit a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Coming off his complete-game gem against the Giants on Tuesday, Gilbert managed an impressive encore performance versus a dangerous lineup. The right-hander got 63 of his 94 pitches in for strikes during his efficient performance -- with Jeremy Rakes of MLB.com noting his fastball consistently sat between 95 and 97 mph -- giving Gilbert wins in consecutive decisions for the first time since late May. The 26-year-old appears to be hitting his stride after a couple of hiccups, as he heads into the All-Star break having surrendered two earned runs or less in four of his last five starts and now sits second among all qualified pitchers with an 0.98 WHIP.
Jul 4 2023Gilbert (6-5) earned the win Tuesday, allowing five hits and striking out seven in a complete game shutout against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert bounced back from an eight-hit, four-run outing against the Nationals in his last start with his best performance of the season. His complete game shutout was the first of his career and marked his first scoreless start of 2023. He was incredibly efficient, handing out no free passes and retiring the final 11 batters consecutively to end the game at 105 pitches. The start knocked Gilbert's ERA down to 3.82 after entering the contest at 4.19 and moved his K:BB to 100:19 through 17 starts (101.1 innings). Gilbert's expected to make his next appearance this weekend in a road matchup with the Astros, who've averaged 7 runs per game over their last six.
Jun 29 2023Gilbert (5-5) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings against the Nationals. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert gave up four consecutive hits to open the game, which led to three runs coming across for Washington in the first inning. The right-hander was able to pitch his way out of trouble over the next four innings before again surrendering consecutive hits to open the bottom of the sixth, leading to another run for the Nationals. Gilbert has now allowed at least four runs in three of his last six starts and has failed to record more than five strikeouts in each of his last four. He'll look for better results when Mariners travel to take on the Giants next week in San Francisco.
Jun 23 2023Gilbert (5-4) earned the win Friday, giving up one run on two hits and one walk over seven innings against the Orioles. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander allowed just two baserunners through six scoreless frames, but Anthony Santander broke through for Baltimore with a solo homer in the seventh. Gilbert has flashed his top-of-the-rotation potential at times this season but hasn't been able to maintain that performance consistently, and he came into Friday having given up five-plus earned runs in two of his previous four starts. He has a 4.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 89:17 K:BB through 86.1 innings this year and projects for a favorable matchup versus Washington next week.
Jun 17 2023Gilbert did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over 5.1 innings against the White Sox. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite walking a season-high three batters, it was still a nice bounce-back effort for Gilbert, who surrendered six earned runs to the Angels last time out. The right-hander started the campaign strong, posting a 3.60 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 69:10 K:BB through his first 10 appearances (60 innings), but he's given up 14 earned runs across his past four starts (19.1 innings) while recording a modest 15:6 K:BB. Gilbert's next start is lined up for a matchup in Baltimore.
Jun 11 2023Gilbert (4-4) allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits over three-plus innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels jumped on Gilbert right out of the gate, starting with Taylor Ward's solo homer. Gilbert went back out for the fourth inning but left without recording another out. He threw just 58 pitches and saw his ERA shoot up to 4.38 through 74 frames. Gilbert has been tagged with 12 earned runs across 14 innings over his last three starts. His next start is lined up to be at home against the White Sox.
Jun 10 2023Gilbert will start Sunday versus the Angeles, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was scheduled to start Monday versus the Marlins with Bryce Miller scheduled for Sunday against the Angels, but the two will switch spots in the Seattle rotation. It's made possible by the Mariners having Thursday off, so Gilbert will be pitching on regular rest in the series finale versus the Halos.
Jun 6 2023Gilbert (4-3) allowed a run on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts in seven innings, earning the win Tuesday over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After getting tagged for seven runs (five earned) over four innings versus the Yankees in his last start, Gilbert bounced back with his second-longest outing of the season. The one negative was that he issued multiple walks for the third time in 12 starts. Gilbert's at a 3.80 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 79:13 K:BB through 71 innings. He's projected for a home start versus the Marlins next week.
May 31 2023Gilbert (3-3) surrendered seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert's night got started with a 38-pitch first inning during which the Yankees put three runs on the board off a couple of singles, a walk and an error by Eugenio Suarez. The right-hander was unable to really get going from there and wound up allowing a three-run homer to Anthony Volpe in the third and a solo blast to Greg Allen in the fourth before his day was done. Tuesday was just the second time this season Gilbert has given up multiple homers and failed to reach five innings in a start. His four strikeouts also tied his season low. Still, the 26-year-old currently owns a 6.6 K/BB, and he seems to be getting a bit unlucky as he has a 3.14 FIP in comparison to a 4.08 ERA. Gilbert's 0.98 WHIP ranks third in MLB, and he'll look to get back on track next week in a road matchup with the Padres.
May 20 2023Gilbert (2-2) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over six innings to earn the win Saturday over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert had a tough first inning, in which he allowed a two-run home run to Matt Olson, but he was able to settle in after that. This was Gilbert's fifth quality start in nine outings this season, and it was the first time in his last four starts he's allowed a homer. The right-hander is now at a 3.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 63:10 K:BB through 52 innings. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the Athletics next week.
May 15 2023Gilbert did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against the Tigers. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert allowed a run in the opening frame, another one in the third and then couldn't quite make it through the sixth after Andy Ibanez doubled off him with two outs. Trevor Gott allowed the inherited runner to score before he was able to close out the inning. Gilbert wasn't as effective as usual Sunday. He allowed 10 hard hit balls and had a season-low four strikeouts while just missing out on a third consecutive quality start against one of the weaker offenses in the league. Still, Gilbert has allowed three runs or less in six of his eight starts on the year and will take a 3.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 54:9 K:BB into his next projected start against Atlanta.
May 9 2023Gilbert (1-2) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against Texas. He struck out 10. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert had one of his best starts of the year despite the loss. The right-hander's 10 strikeouts were a season high, and he also tied his season high in innings pitched. The 26-year-old has proven himself to be a dependable option, as he hasn't allowed more than four runs in an appearance this season.
May 4 2023Gilbert did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings against the Athletics. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert pitched as well as fantasy managers could've hoped for, keeping Oakland in the park and posting a 3:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The right-hander has proven to be a solid option, sporting a 1.07 WHIP to go along with 40 strikeouts across 33.2 innings. The 25-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Rangers at home in his next start.
Apr 1 2023Gilbert (0-1) was tagged with the loss Saturday against Cleveland, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was excellent in his season debut, tossing 64 of 85 pitches for strikes and limiting the Guardians to just a fourth-inning home run by Josh Naylor. However, Seattle couldn't manage to push any runs over the plate, saddling the right-hander with the loss. Gilbert -- and his fantasy managers -- nonetheless should walk away from this performance with plenty of positive takeaways, and there's certainly reason to believe that the third-year hurler can build upon his strong 2022 campaign during which he posted a 3.20 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 174:49 K:BB over 185.2 frames. His next outing is tentatively slated to be a rematch against Cleveland next week.
Mar 20 2023Gilbert was credited with a win in Monday's Cactus League victory over the Brewers, firing four scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and recorded five strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert's most impressive spring training outing yet saw him match the four innings he'd worked his last time out against the Royals, except the right-hander kept his scorecard free of any runs after giving up to two to Kansas City. Gilbert now has a 3.55 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 12.2 innings in Cactus League play, and Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports the 25-year-old was particularly happy with how his new split-changeup continued to progress. "That was probably one of the best days I felt with it," Gilbert said of his new pitch. "If it stays where it was today, I would be thrilled with it for sure."
Mar 6 2023Gilbert is working on a split-changeup this spring that he unveiled in his Cactus League debut against the Padres on Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks over 1.2 innings versus the Padres, even though manager Scott Servais feels the 25-year-old is the furthest along of the Mariners hurlers experimenting with some form of a splitter at the moment. The right-hander took a major step forward with a 13-6 record, 3.20 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 32 starts in 2022, but he also was unsurprisingly fatigued by the time Seattle's postseason concluded after throwing 185.2 innings during the regular season and 5.1 frames in his one playoff start. Consequently, Kramer notes Gilbert is being eased into his spring training work, and the plan is to keep a close eye on how much live hitting he faces in Cactus League play. "I think they're on track with probably the best idea for what I should do," Gilbert said. "I've been feeling great and bullpens, locked in."
Sep 30 2022Gilbert allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over eight innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert pitched well enough to win, but he didn't get the necessary run support. He allowed more than one run just once in six starts in September, yielding eight runs across 36 innings in that span for an ERA of 2.00. His gem Friday lowered his season ERA to 3.20 with a 1.18 WHIP and 174:49 K:BB through 185.2 innings across 32 starts. He is tentatively lined up for one more regular-season start during next week's series versus the Tigers, though the Mariners may opt to hold him in reserve if he figures into their playoff rotation.
Sep 24 2022Gilbert allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters over five innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert never settled into a groove in the outing, allowing at least one run in each of his first four frames. The right-hander had struck out nine or more batters in three of his previous four starts but punched out only three Royals on Saturday. Gilbert also saw his six-game stretch of allowing two or fewer earned runs come to an end, though Seattle's offense helped him avoid taking a loss. He still owns a strong 3.29 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 13-6 record in his second major-league campaign.
Sep 19 2022Gilbert (13-6) allowed one run on four hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out 11 and earning a win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was locked in Monday, setting new season bests in strikeouts (11) and whiffs (21). He worked through five shutout frames before giving up an RBI sacrifice fly to Taylor Ward in the sixth inning. Gilbert is 3-1 with a stellar 0.78 ERA and 34:5 K:BB over his last four starts. Through 172.2 innings this season, the 25-year-old is sporting a 3.13 ERA. Gilbert is lined up to start in Kansas City this weekend.
Sep 13 2022Gilbert (12-6) took the loss during Tuesday's 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert surrendered one baserunner in each of the first three innings before permitting two in each of the next two, with the lone run coming across in the fourth. Despite the loss, Gilbert held the opposing offense to three runs or fewer for the sixth straight outing, pitching to a 2.08 ERA across 34.1 innings with 34 strikeouts during the stretch. He carries a 3.19 ERA into his next start, tentatively scheduled to come early next week against the Angels.
Sep 6 2022Gilbert (12-5) allowed five hits and hit one batter with a pitch while striking out nine over six shutout innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert has looked more like he did in April with 12 scoreless innings and 18 strikeouts across his first two starts of September. The right-hander threw 62 of 101 pitches for strikes Tuesday, including an impressive 18 whiffs. He's down to a 3.23 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 151:42 K:BB through 161.2 innings through 28 starts this year. Gilbert lines up for a home start versus the Padres next week.
Sep 1 2022Gilbert (11-5) allowed two hits and one walk while striking out nine across six scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert turned in arguably his best start of the season and tallied nine strikeouts in a start for the first time since May 17. He racked up 17 swinging strikes on 84 total pitches to back the result, and he has now allowed two or fewer earned runs in three consecutive outings. For the season, he owns a 3.35 ERA with a 142:42 K:BB.
Aug 26 2022Gilbert allowed two runs on eight hits in 6.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Friday. He struck out two and walked none. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert dueled effectively with Cleveland ace Shane Bieber, with each team driving in two runs on sacrifice flies against each starter. After an abbreviated start (five innings) versus Oakland last Saturday, it was encouraging to see Gilbert return to the threshold of a quality start. He's still gone nine straight outings without a win, but the right-hander has maintained a solid 3.49 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 133:41 K:BB through 149.2 innings this year. He'll carry a 10-5 record into his next outing, currently projected to be a favorable road start in Detroit next week.
Aug 20 2022Gilbert allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday. He didn't walk a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the third time in four starts, Gilbert was unable to complete six innings. He finished Saturday's outing with just 66 pitches (46 strikes), and manager Scott Servais said after the game Gilbert tightened up after getting hit by a line drive, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. It sounds like his early exit was cautionary, so it appears the right-hander should be good to go for his projected home start versus the Guardians next week. Gilbert owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 131:41 K:BB across 143.1 innings through 25 starts.
Aug 15 2022Gilbert did not factor into the decision against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out five and walking four over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Gilbert did not factor into the decision, he still earned a quality start in the contest, throwing 47 of 87 pitches for strikes and allowing three runs across six frames. The young righty seems to have righted the ship some after allowing 13 runs in his last 9.1 innings, all to the Yankees. After those rough outings ballooned his ERA from 2.78 to 3.47, Sunday's three-run appearance took it up to 3.51.
Aug 9 2022Gilbert (10-5) yielded seven runs on 10 hits and a walk over four innings Monday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert never found his footing Monday as he allowed at least six runs for the second straight start. Josh Donaldson and Andrew Benintendi each collected three RBI against the 6-foot-6 righty. The poor stretch has launched his season ERA from 2.78 to 3.47 through 23 starts. Gilbert is 0-3 with a 6.12 ERA and 1.48 WHIP over his last six outings. He'll look to turn things around in next week's projected road start against the Angels.
Aug 3 2022Gilbert did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's game against the Yankees, allowing six runs on seven hits while striking out two and walking four across 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was not sharp in Tuesday's game, throwing 53 of 89 pitches for strikes. It was the second time this season where Gilbert finished a game with more walks than strikeouts. The young righty has now allowed 16 home runs across 128.1 innings after three balls left the park in his matchup with the Yankees, tying him for seventh-most homers allowed among qualified starters. Despite that, Gilbert still has a 3.09 ERA, a 10-4 record and 10 quality starts this year.
Jul 29 2022Gilbert did not factor in the decision against Houston on Thursday, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert served up a two-run homer to Alex Bregman in the first inning, but he didn't allow the Astros to score again during his subsequent five frames. The right-hander has faced Houston in each of his past two starts and has ended up with almost identical stat lines, allowing two runs on five hits across six innings in each game. He didn't pick up a win in either outing though, and remains without a victory since he beat San Diego on July 5.
Jul 24 2022Gilbert (10-4) took the loss to the Astros on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out eight and walking one over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was efficient Saturday, throwing 63 of 89 pitches for strikes across six frames. The eight strikeouts were a season high for the young righty. Gilbert did not allow a home run in the contest, but the Astros were able to knock in two runs against him, both on doubles. Despite picking up a loss, Gilbert earned a quality start, his ninth of the year. He will take a 2.77 ERA into his next appearance.
Jul 17 2022Gilbert gave up one earned run on four hits and no walks while striking out four over five innings in a 3-2 extra-inning win over the Rangers on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert continued his positive 2022 campaign with five strong innings of one-run ball against the division-rival Rangers. The hard-throwing right-hander now boasts a 2.76 ERA to go along with 10 wins on the season and narrowly missed being named to the AL All-Star team. Since Gilbert has an xERA of 4.17 through the first half of the year, it will be interesting to see if his numbers regress after the break. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Astros.
Jul 10 2022Gilbert allowed four runs on nine hits and struck out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert took a no-decision for the first time since June 3. The nine hits and four runs he allowed both matched season highs, though it was a positive to see him not issue a walk for the fifth time in 18 starts. The right-hander threw 69 of 99 pitches for strikes but recorded only nine whiffs. Gilbert has a 2.80 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 100:29 K:BB through 106 innings this season. He's projected for one more start before the All-Star break, which is expected to be a road matchup with the Rangers next weekend.
Jul 5 2022Gilbert (10-3) earned the win Tuesday in San Diego after giving up two runs (one earned) on six hits with one strikeout and three walks over 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander generated only eight whiffs on 101 pitches (61 strikes) and set a season low with just one strikeout versus the Padres, but he was able to limit the damage against him. Gilbert has won five of his past six outings and has a 2.61 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 93:29 K:BB across 100 innings for the campaign.
Jul 1 2022Gilbert (9-3) earned the win over Oakland on Thursday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In comparison to Gilbert's body of work this season, Thursday's performance was relatively disappointing. He tied a season low with three strikeouts and a season worst with four earned runs, yet the right-hander managed to notch his fourth victory in five starts. Gilbert has blossomed in his sophomore MLB campaign, posting a 2.66 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 92:26 K:BB over 94.2 innings. He's tied for the second in the American League with nine wins.
Jun 25 2022Gilbert (8-3) earned the win Saturday over the Angels. He allowed three runs on nine hits, two walks and a hit batter with seven strikeouts in 5.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The nine hits were a season high, and two of them left the yard, making this only the second time Gilbert's given up multiple homers in a game this year. He fell one out shy of extending his streak of quality starts to eight, but he was still good enough to pick up his fourth win in his last six outings. The right-hander continues to impress with a 2.44 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 89:25 K:BB across 88.2 innings in 15 starts overall. Gilbert lines up for a favorable home start versus the Athletics next week.
Jun 19 2022Gilbert (7-3) allowed two runs on four hits and no walks with six strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was the latest Mariners pitcher to fall victim to Mike Trout, who took him deep in the fourth inning. With a lack of run support, Gilbert ended up with his first loss since May 17. He's still turned in seven straight quality starts, and he's logged a 2.28 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 82:23 K:BB through 83 innings in 14 starts overall. The right-hander lines up for a rematch at Angel Stadium next weekend.
Jun 14 2022Gilbert (7-2) allowed four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in six shutout innings, earning the win Tuesday over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was a low-scoring battle early on, but Gilbert got the support he needed with two-run home runs from Eugenio Suarez and Ty France. This was Gilbert's sixth straight quality start after achieving the feat just once in his first seven outings. It's also the fourth time the right-hander has kept runs off the board. He's now at a 2.22 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 76:23 K:BB across 77 innings overall. The 25-year-old projects for a home start versus the Angels this weekend.
Jun 9 2022Gilbert (6-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings against the Astros. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert walked two batters in the first inning, one of which came around to score on an RBI single from Yordan Alvarez. The right-hander got tagged for two more runs on back-to-back RBI knocks from Alvarez and Kyle Tucker in the third, but Gilbert was able to settle down after that and notched his fifth straight quality start. Across 12 starts and 71 innings, he sports a 2.41 ERA with a 70:22 K:BB. Gilbert's next outing is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday's contest against Minnesota.
Jun 3 2022Gilbert allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in six innings, taking a no-decision versus the Rangers on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was solid, but a pair of RBI doubles to Corey Seager and Kole Calhoun in the sixth inning left the game tied when the 25-year-old exited. He had gone seven innings in each of his last three starts, but this was still his fourth straight quality start. The right-hander is cruising in his second big-league season, posting a 2.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 67:19 K:BB across 65 innings in 11 starts. He'll look to improve on his 5-2 record next week in a tough road start versus the Astros.
May 28 2022Gilbert (5-2) earned the win during Saturday's 6-0 victory over Houston, allowing four hits with five strikeouts in seven scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert got better as the game progressed Saturday, putting two Astros on in the first and third innings before retiring the last 10 he faced. The 25-year-old has now gone seven innings in each of his last three starts, though Saturday's game is the first Seattle has won in his last five turns. Gilbert takes a 2.29 ERA and 1.03 WHIP into a scheduled start for next weekend against the Rangers.
May 22 2022Gilbert allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four in seven innings during Sunday's loss to the Red Sox. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert posted his second consecutive quality start while throwing 70 of his 100 pitches for strikes during Sunday's outing. However, the 25-year-old didn't get much run support from the Mariners and was forced to settle for a no-decision. After accumulating four straight wins between April and early May, the right-hander has failed to pick up a win in his last four starts. Gilbert tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Astros on Saturday.
May 17 2022Gilbert (4-2) was tagged with the loss Tuesday after he pitched seven innings, surrendering three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out nine versus the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert gave up a three-run triple to George Springer in the bottom of the second frame, accounting for all the damage against him in the 3-0 defeat Tuesday. The right-hander secured his second quality start of the campaign while also matching his season-high with nine punchouts. After a terrific start to the season where he posted a 0.64 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over his first five starts, Gilbert has allowed 10 runs in 17 innings over his last three outings, leaving his season numbers at a still impressive 2.40 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 51 strikeouts over 45 frames. He tentatively lines up to face Boston on Sunday.
May 11 2022Gilbert (4-1) allowed four earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out nine across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert had little trouble getting through the first three innings, as he allowed only two baserunners and struck out five. However, he allowed a grand slam to Rhys Hoskins in the fourth, souring his outing. Positively, Gilbert induced 14 swinging strikes on 95 total pitches to punch out a season-best nine batters. Gilbert has allowed seven earned runs across his last 10 innings, but he still has a 2.13 ERA with 42:14 K:BB across 38 frames on the season.
May 6 2022Gilbert allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walks over five innings in Friday's loss to Tampa Bay. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was handed a 2-0 lead after the first inning but it quickly evaporated when he coughed up three runs in the second on three straight RBI singles from Yandy Diaz, Wander Franco and Randy Arozarena. Gilbert had won his previous four starts and hadn't allowed more than one run in any of his first five outings to being the 2022 campaign. After walking just one batter in his first three starts, the 25-year-old has issued 10 free passes over his last three. Gilbert will carry a 1.36 ERA into his projected home start against the Phillies next week.
May 1 2022Gilbert (4-0) picked up the win against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even without his best control, Gilbert still managed to hang zeros on the scoreboard en route to his fourth win in five starts. The 24-year-old right-hander has allowed a total of 18 hits in 28 innings this season, and only two of those hits have gone for home runs. He seems to be in the midst of a breakout with a 0.64 ERA early on, though he could stand to raise his strikeouts to help stave off the eventual BABIP and left-on-base regression.
Apr 26 2022Gilbert (3-0) earned the victory and struck out seven in 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and three walks in an 8-4 win Tuesday in Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert did not allow a hit through the first four innings and ended up scattering two singles amongst his three walks with only one baserunner making it to second base. Through four starts this year, he has allowed two runs (one earned) and has left each start in line for the win. With a 0.40 ERA and 0.85 WHIP, the 24-year-old is off to one of the best starts in baseball and has not allowed an earned run since the first inning of his first start.
Apr 20 2022Gilbert (2-0) recorded the win against Texas on Wednesday, tossing 6.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed six hits and struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Only one of the six hits against Gilbert went for extra bases, and he finished his outing without issuing a walk for his second straight appearance. The right-hander went exactly five innings in his previous two starts, so his ability to pitch into the seventh and register a quality start Wednesday was a pleasant development for his fantasy managers. Gilbert has allowed only one earned run over his three outings this season, good for a tidy 0.54 ERA. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to take place in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Apr 14 2022Gilbert (1-0) earned the win Thursday after giving up one unearned run on four hits across five innings. He registered four strikeouts and zero walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert scattered three hits across four innings and got the first two batters to ground out in the fifth inning before Adam Engel reached second base following an error by Cal Raleigh. Engel came home to score when the subsequent batter -- Jake Burger -- singled on a pop-up to short left field, but Gilbert got out of the inning by striking out the dangerous Luis Robert. Through two starts, Gilbert has given up only two runs across 10 innings while posting an 11:1 K:BB ratio. He's tentatively slated to pitch next week against the Rangers.
Apr 9 2022Gilbert struck out seven in five innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk in a 4-3 win Saturday in Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lone run against Gilbert came from a Luis Arraez solo homer in the first. After pitching around trouble in the second, he retired the final 10 batters he faced. The lanky right-hander left the game with a 2-1 lead. A two-run home run by Byron Buxton off Andres Munoz in the eighth kept Gilbert from earning the victory. The former top prospect finished strong in his rookie season but had trouble with the long ball all year. If he's able to limit home runs, he should impress in his sophomore campaign.
Mar 29 2022Gilbert allowed five earned runs on five hits and a walk across 3.2 innings in a Cactus League loss to the Royals on Tuesday. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old had started spring with a performance reminiscent of several of his strong September starts last season, allowing just a solo home run and a walk across three innings versus the Guardians on Thursday. However, matters were clearly different Tuesday, with Kyle Isbel doing the most damage off Gilbert in the form of a three-run home run in the fourth inning. The right-hander should have at least one more chance to get the ship back on course ahead of a regular season that he'll open as Seattle's No. 3 starter.
Sep 30 2021Gilbert allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings Wednesday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert got through five scoreless innings before Tony Kemp took him deep to right begin the sixth to finally get the Athletics on the board. Gilbert was able to get two more outs before walking Mark Canha, signaling the end of his day after 92 pitches. The 24-year-old right-hander found his stride during September, accumulating a 2.70 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB over 33.1 innings in six starts. He has certainly shown signs of living up to the hype as one of the Mariners' bright young arms. Gilbert now stands at a 4.68 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 128:28 K:BB over 119.1 innings. The Mariners are right in the fold of things for a potential wild-card spot and Gilbert could potentially see at least another start if they can secure one of the final two playoff spots.
Sep 25 2021Gilbert allowed four earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four across 5.1 innings in the win over the Angels on Friday. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was set up for the win, but he allowed a pair of runs to score in the sixth inning to tie the game. Max Stassi also went deep off Gilbert in the fourth inning. The pitcher had a rocky start to his rookie season, but he has a 2.93 ERA over his last five starts. The 24-year-old carries a 4.83 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 124 strikeouts in 113.2 innings this season.
Sep 20 2021Gilbert (6-5) allowed just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings as he got the win over the Royals on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert had his way with the Royals, retiring 17 of the first 18 hitters he faced before allowing a double and a single in the sixth to give Kansas City their only run of the day. Sunday was his first win since July 30 despite owning a 2.01 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over four starts in September. The 24-year-old rookie has had some inconsistency this year but has shown enough upside to prove that his future is bright. He now sits at a 4.74 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 120:23 K:BB over 108.1 innings and tentatively lines up for a meeting against the Angels later in the week.
Sep 13 2021Gilbert allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings in Monday's win over the Red Sox. He struck out nine and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert coughed up a solo homer to Jose Iglesias in the third followed by another RBI base hit by Iglesias in the fifth. He completed six innings in a start for the first time since Aug. 10 and has now allowed two or fewer runs in three straight outings. Gilbert maintained his 5-5 record while lowering his season ERA to 4.97 through 101.1 frames. The right-handed rookie is projected to take the mound in Kansas City this weekend.
Sep 7 2021Gilbert pitched 4.1 innings giving up two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five in Tuesday's loss to the Astros. He did not factor into the game's decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie was shaky in this start. In the third inning he surrendered a solo home run to Jose Altuve and an RBI double to Alex Bregman. He left the game in the fifth inning after recording just one out and allowing two baserunners. It was the fourth time in his last five starts that he has failed to reach five innings, compiling a dreadful 8.59 ERA over that stretch. He projects to start next on Monday against the Red Sox.
Sep 2 2021Gilbert held the Astros off the scoreboard for five innings Wednesday while allowing four hits and striking out four. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert missed out on the victory as the Mariners didn't score until scratching across the lone run of the game in the bottom of the sixth. He still had an excellent performance and blanked one of baseball's top offenses without walking a batter while notching 18 swinging strikes. The 24-year-old had been struggling lately, allowing 19 runs over his last three starts, including nine runs in a start against the Astros on Aug. 21. Gilbert now owns a 5.14 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 101:20 K:BB over 91 innings for the season, and he's lined up for a road matchup against the Astros again next week.
Aug 28 2021Gilbert completed four innings against Kansas City on Friday, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out five. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Seattle staked Gilbert to a 5-1 lead after two innings, but he allowed the margin to be erased by serving up a grand slam to Salvador Perez in the fourth frame. The right-hander didn't return for the fifth, as he had already thrown 91 pitches. After a midseason run of moderate success, Gilbert has struggled immensely of late, giving up 19 earned runs across 12.2 innings over his past three starts. His control hasn't been the issue -- he has posted a 13:2 K:BB during the rough stretch -- but he has allowed five long balls in the three starts after surrendering only eight through his first 73.1 innings. Gilbert will look to turn things around in his next start, which is tentatively slated to come at home against Houston on Wednesday.
Aug 21 2021Gilbert (5-5) allowed nine runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts through 4.2 innings, taking the loss in Saturday's 15-1 shellacking at the hands of the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert needed 94 pitches to get through 4.2 innings on Saturday, as the Astros demolished everything the Mariners' starter had to offer. The big blow came in the third inning when Yordan Alvarez took the 24-year-old over the wall in left field for a three-run homer. After making it through his first 10 starts with a 3.51 ERA, Gilbert has a 7.56 ERA in his subsequent seven outings.
Aug 15 2021Gilbert (5-4) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Blue Jays after allowing five runs on eight hits across four innings, fanning three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert gave up two homers in this one and both came in the second inning, as both Teoscar Hernandez and Randall Grichuk took him deep. The right-hander has been inconsistent of late and has gone 0-2 with a 6.00 ERA in three starts during the current month.
Aug 11 2021Gilbert got a no-decision in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Texas, allowing two runs on five hits with five strikeouts in six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing a dismal Rangers team, Gilbert limited the damage to a single run in both the second and fifth innings to post his first quality start in five turns. The 24-year-old prevented a free pass for the first time since July 8, which is a welcome development considering he walked four Rays in five innings last time out.
Aug 4 2021Gilbert (5-3) allowed three runs on four hit and four walks in five innings, striking out six and taking the loss in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie required 86 pitches to get through five frames, which was pretty good considering the four free passes. Gilbert has certainly cooled down after his dominant stretch in early July, as he's allowed 10 earned runs in his last 13.1 innings of work. Regardless, the righty has shown tremendous promise in his debut season, posting a 4.14 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 67.1 innings. Gilbert is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday against the Rangers.
Jul 30 2021Gilbert (5-2) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Friday, striking out six and earning a win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert worked through three scoreless frames before giving up a run in each of the fourth and fifth innings. He then served up two solo shots to Adolis Garcia and Jonah Heim in the sixth. Prior to Friday's outing, the rookie right-hander had gone 22.2 straight innings without giving up a homer. His ERA is now up to 4.04 alongside a 73:14 K:BB through 62.1 frames. Gilbert is projected to face the Rays on the road next week.
Jul 25 2021Gilbert got a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 win against Oakland, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert got through the game's first two innings unscathed but allowed five baserunners and three runs in the third before being removed at 75 pitches. The rookie had won consecutive outings heading into Saturday's game and now sports a 3.81 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 67:13 K:BB ratio through 12 starts.
Jul 18 2021Gilbert (4-2) tossed 5.1 innings and allowed two runs on four hits and two walks to pick up the win Sunday against the Angels. He struck out a career-high nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert struck out six of the first seven batters he faced and held the Angels off the board until Jose Iglesias got to him with a two-run single in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old rookie has settled in nicely through his first 11 big-league starts, posting a 3.50 ERA and sparkling 0.98 WHIP to go with a 62:12 K:BB over 54 innings. Gilbert has fanned 23 against just four walks across 18 innings of work in his first three July starts.
Jul 8 2021Gilbert (3-2) earned the win Thursday after holding the Yankees scoreless across seven innings. He allowed one hit and no walks while striking out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After giving up a leadoff double to Giancarlo Stanton in the second inning and hitting Luke Voit in the hand, Gilbert was locked in, retiring 18 Yankees in a row while fanning a season-high eight batters in the process. It was just the second time this year that the right-hander blanked his opponent. He'll take a 3.51 ERA and 0.97 WHIP into the All-Star Break.
Jul 3 2021Gilbert allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings Friday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was cruising early on but allowed two runs to score in the third due to a pair of errors in the inning. He got through a clean fourth but then allowed a third run to cross home in the fifth on an RBI double off the bat of Charlie Culberson. The 24-year-old southpaw came back out for the sixth and was able to record two outs but was then replaced by Kenyan Middleton with his pitch count at 101 and a right-handed hitter stepping up. Overall, Gilbert has held his own pretty well with a 4.10 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:10 K:BB over 41.2 innings. He's lined up for a home matchup against the Yankees next week.
Jun 26 2021Gilbert's Saturday start against the White Sox was suspended in the bottom of the third inning due to rain and will resume Sunday. He struck out three and allowed one hit in two scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert threw 28 pitches (19 strikes), which likely means he'll be replaced when the game resumes Sunday. If he does indeed get pulled, he could potentially return to the mound in less than the normal four days of rest if the Mariners want to explore that option.
Jun 19 2021Gilbert completed 5.2 innings against the Rays on Saturday, giving up four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out seven in a no-decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert entered the contest having yielded only six earned runs over his previous 21.2 innings. He wasn't quite as effective against Tampa Bay, though the right-hander did manage to tie his season high with seven strikeouts while inducing 14 swings-and-misses. The rookie's campaign got off to a rough start with two straight losses, but he has avoided falling into the loss column in each of his past five outings. Gilbert will carry a 4.50 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come on the road against the White Sox next Saturday.
Jun 13 2021Gilbert (2-2) earned the win Sunday against Cleveland after tossing 6.2 innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and a walk while fanning six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert began his MLB career with two straight losses but has bounced back since then, and he's given up two or fewer earned runs in each of his last four appearances -- going 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA in that span. The right-hander will try to continue his excellent run of form in his upcoming start, scheduled for next weekend at home against the Rays.
Jun 7 2021Gilbert (1-2) allowed one earned run on two hits and four walks while striking out seven across five innings, earning the win over the Angels on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert allowed a first-inning home run to Justin Upton, who was the first batter he faced. However, Gilbert fired four scoreless frames through five innings of work. Despite walking four batters, he struck out a career-high seven en route to his first win. The 24-year-old has a 4.98 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 21.2 innings.
May 31 2021Gilbert allowed two runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts in six inning versus Oakland on Monday. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert was in line for the win when he exited the game, but Oakland rallied to tie it up in the eighth inning. The right-hander remains in search of his first major-league win, but he's seen improvement in his two starts against Oakland this year, both of which were no-decisions. He's posted a 5.94 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 16.2 innings since he was called up on May 13. The rookie lines up for a road start versus the Angels this weekend.
May 25 2021Gilbert went four innings in a 4-3 win Tuesday versus Oakland, allowing two runs on four hits with four strikeouts in a no-decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert allowed all four hits and both runs in the second but sent every Athletic's batter dugout in the first, third and fourth other than a Sean Murphy HBP. Manager Scott Servais opted to remove Gilbert prior to the fifth with the top of Oakland's lineup due up despite only 78 pitches. He lines up to try for his first win at home against Oakland on Memorial Day.
May 20 2021Gilbert (0-2) took the loss against Detroit on Wednesday, pitching 2.2 innings and allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert needed 74 pitches to retire eight batters, and only 43 of his offerings went for strikes. He has now allowed seven runs over 6.2 frames on the campaign. The right-hander has been impressive in the minors, so his struggles so far in the big leagues can likely be chalked up to a learning curve, but he'll need to pitch better moving forward to remain in the rotation. His next chance to take the mound is tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday at Oakland.
May 13 2021Gilbert (0-1) took the 4-2 loss against Cleveland in his major-league debut Thursday, allowing four runs and five hits with five strikeouts in four innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was a mixed bag for Gilbert's first start as the four runs and two home runs isn't optimal, but five strikeouts and zero walks are encouraging for the young starter's potential. More run support can be expected as Gilbert lines up to potentially face the White Sox in his next start.
May 12 2021Gilbert will be called up by the Mariners to start Thursday's game against Cleveland, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert will make his major-league debut after he made just one appearance for Triple-A Tacoma to begin the season. During that outing, he gave up a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in five innings. Assuming he pitches well Thursday, Gilbert could remain in the Mariners' six-man rotation going forward, especially while Marco Gonzales (forearm), Nick Margevicius (shoulder) and Ljay Newsome (elbow) are sidelined.
Mar 22 2021Gilbert was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert only threw two official innings this spring as the team seeks to manage his workload. However, he pitched well at Double-A Arkansas in 2019 and also impressed at the alternate site last season. As a result, he's nearly major-league ready and should join the team's rotation sometime relatively early on in the campaign.
Mar 7 2021Gilbert allowed an earned run on two hits and no walks while recording four strikeouts across two innings in a Cactus League loss to the Angels on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old provided plenty of reason for optimism with his outing against an Angels lineup replete with regulars, and one of his four strikeouts on the afternoon notably came against Mike Trout. Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports Gilbert featured his fastball, slider and curveball during the outing and overcame a bit of adversity by working out of a second-inning jam. "He's pretty close," manager Scott Servais said. "Certainly last year did him no favors and the fact that he wasn't able to pitch in a competitive game. ... But super, super high ceiling for this kid, and I love the way he goes about his business and what his future holds."
Mar 3 2021Gilbert will start Sunday's Cactus League game against the Angels, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The highly touted prospect will get his chance to face a formidable lineup that should include the likes of Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon, which should serve as a good litmus test for where he is in his development. Gilbert's last time on a mound in a live game also came against the Angels on March 10 of last year before spring training was shut down due to COVID-19, and the right-hander projects to get at least a couple of more starting opportunities before likely beginning the season at Triple-A Tacoma.
Feb 21 2021Gilbert won't be cracking the Mariners' Opening Day rotation but will join the team in late April, team president Kevin Mather said in a talk with the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club in early February that was posted to the club's official YouTube channel. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Previous reports suggested that Gilbert would be given a legitimate chance to compete for a roster spot, but Mather seemed to indicate that wasn't the case. The Mariners can deny Gilbert a year of free agency if they keep him in the minors for a few weeks, and it seems as though they'll be prioritizing that over ensuring that they have their best players on the roster on Opening Day.
Feb 16 2021Gilbert will be given a legitimate chance to compete with Nick Margevicius and Justin Dunn for the No. 6 spot in the starting rotation during spring training, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert secured a spring training invite back in late January, and the Mariners' decision to deploy a six-man starting rotation to open the season gives him an opportunity to make the jump to the big leagues right from the start of the 2021 campaign. It's a development that arguably would have already occurred a year ago had there been a minor-league season, as the precocious right-hander breezed through three levels of affiliated ball as a first-year pro in 2019. Margevicius and Dunn naturally have the edge in big-league experience on Gilbert, but the 23-year-old had an opportunity to gain some valuable seasoning in the team's alternate training site throughout the duration of the shortened 2020 season.
Jul 11 2020Gilbert started Saturday's intrasquad game and impressed with his pitch arsenal, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Johns reports Gilbert not only flashed his mid-90s fastball during the outing, but his effective array of offspeed pitches as well. The 2018 first-round pick gave up one run over his two innings, getting tagged for an RBI double by 2019 Double-A Arkansas teammate Donovan Walton. However, he did retire the likes of veterans Dee Gordon and Daniel Vogelbach -- the latter on a strikeout -- and enjoyed his first experience pitching at T-Mobile Park, irrespective of the empty stands. "It was kind of a weird situation, but just getting in innings here at T-Mobile at the Major League stadium before you debut, you can't put a price on that. It's really valuable," Gilbert said. "It's not packed with fans, but when I got on the mound, it felt like any other game."
Jul 8 2020There is "essentially little to no chance" Gilbert reaches the majors this season, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gilbert, one of the team's top pitching prospects, likely would have made his MLB debut in 2020 under normal circumstances. However, he has only made nine starts above High-A, so it would be pretty aggressive of the rebuilding Mariners to rush him up in this 60-game campaign. Brock reports that Seattle believes its top prospects will receive the necessary development while training at the satellite camp this summer.
Jul 8 2018Gilbert, the 14th overall pick in the 2018 first-year player draft, has been shut down for the remainder of the season due to a bout of mononucleosis, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.The Mariners' top pick wasn't slated to see much action after putting in a heavy workload for Stetson University, but a mononucleosis diagnosis shortly after arriving in Low-A Everett has ended his campaign before it ever got started. General manager Jerry Dipoto relayed that Gilbert is recovering in Orlando after spending time in the hospital, and that he expects the 21-year-old to be ready to go for the organization's high performance camp in September.
Jun 16 2018Gilbert, the 14th overall pick in the 2018 first-year player draft, signed a $3.8 million contact with the Mariners on Saturday, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.Callis adds that the amount of the contract is the full value for Gilbert's draft slotting. The 21-year-old led all Division 1 pitchers with 163 strikeouts in 2017 and currently boasts a three-pitch repertoire consisting of an upper 90s fastball, a slider and a changeup. Greg Johns of MLB.com reports that Gilbert will soon head to Low-A Everett to begin his Mariners career, although he'll be on an innings limit after logging 112.0 frames at Stetson University this past season.
Jun 4 2018The Mariners have selected Gilbert with the 14th overall pick in the 2018 first-year player draft.Gilbert's stock may have peaked last summer in the Cape Cod League when his fastball was sitting in the mid-90s, but after a velocity dip to start his junior year at Stetson, his fastball has ticked back up, as has his draft stock. As one would expect, Gilbert has dominated against Atlantic Sun hitters, notching a 2.61 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 134:20 K:BB through 93 innings. The 21-year-old righty has an innings-eating 6-foot-6, 225-pound frame, which allows his fastball to play up even more thanks to excellent extension. His secondaries receive mixed reviews, with some evaluators touting the changeup as a potential out pitch down the road, and others favoring his spike curveball or slider. Regardless of how his secondary offerings are ranked, it's clear that he will need to refine his arsenal for him to make it as more than a No. 4 starter. While Stetson may not be a blue-blood baseball powerhouse, Corey Kluber and Jacob deGrom are counted among its alumni, and if he can improve his secondaries Gilbert has a chance to eventually join them as frontline starters in the big leagues.
