Gilbert (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.
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.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Strikes out nine in win
Rotowire
Gilbert (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.
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.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Allows three in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert 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.
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.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Turns in quality outing
Rotowire
Gilbert 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.
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.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Gives up four in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings against Philadelphia. He struck out six.
The Phillies hit Gilbert early, as Nick Castellanos swatted a two-run homer in the first before a Kyle Schwarber single plated Bryson Stott in the third. Wednesday's start marked Gilbert's second straight appearance allowing four runs, while his seven hits given up set a season high. The silver lining has been Gilbert's reliable strikeout production, as the 25-year-old has recorded at least six strikeouts in all of his appearances so far.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Confirmed for Wednesday
Rotowire
Gilbert (shoulder) is confirmed to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Heading into the week, Gilbert had been in line to start Tuesday, but the Mariners opted to flip him in the pitching schedule with Marco Gonzales after Gilbert felt muscle spasms in the scapula area while he was working out Sunday. Fortunately for Gilbert, the shoulder issue doesn't seem to have prevented him from making his between-starts bullpen session, so he shouldn't face any major restrictions while he returns to the hill Wednesday on seven days' rest.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Pushed back due to muscle spasms
Rotowire
Gilbert's start was pushed back to Wednesday because he felt muscle spasms in the scapula area while working out Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Gilbert was supposed to take the hill against the Phillies on Tuesday, but the Mariners will have the right-hander move back a day as a precautionary move. Divish notes the right-hander threw in Philadelphia on Monday and felt fine, but the Mariners won't take any chances with the 25-year-old. Marco Gonzales is starting Tuesday's series opener in Gilbert's absence.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Fans eight in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert struck out eight and gave up four runs on five hits and no walks across six innings during Tuesday's 11-inning loss to the Brewers. He did not factor in the decision.
The 25-year-old appeared poised for a brief outing as he gave up three runs and labored through the first three frames, but he rebounded strong with the only baserunner allowed over the next three innings being a solo homer by Willy Adames. Gilbert generated just eight swinging strikes but kept the Brewers guessing and had 25 called strikes, and he's recorded at least six strikeouts in all four of his starts this season. The right-hander will carry a 3.57 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB across 22.2 frames into his next outing, which projects to come next week in Philadelphia.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Strikes out seven in first win
Rotowire
Gilbert (1-1) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 6.2 innings in a 5-2 victory over the Cubs. He struck out seven.
Gilbert allowed back-to-back singles to Nico Hoerner and Nick Madrigal to start his outing, with the former coming around to score on a sacrifice fly by Cody Bellinger. He settled down after that, however, and retired 12 straight batters, including four consecutive strikeouts, before Miles Mastrobuoni reached on a two-out single in the fifth. The right-hander got into trouble again in the seventh after allowing a leadoff single to Bellinger and walking Patrick Wisdom, but he was replaced with two outs by Matt Brash, who got Mastrobuoni on a groundout to end the inning. Through three starts (16.2 innings), Gilbert has allowed five runs on 14 hits and four walks while striking out 19.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Takes loss despite quality start
Rotowire
Gilbert (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.
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.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Impresses in Monday's start
Rotowire
Gilbert 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.
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."

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Working on new pitch this spring
Rotowire
Gilbert 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.
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."

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Not sharp but takes no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert 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.
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.

Rotowire
Gilbert (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.
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.

Gilbert (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.
