Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) did not miss a beat in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Red Sox. Gilbert, who had been on the injured list since late April due to a right elbow flexor strain, pitched five innings, allowing two runs on three hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with 10 strikeouts. While he came away with the loss, this was a highly encouraging start for fantasy managers and the Mariners, who have dealt with numerous rotation injuries. The 28-year-old is now 1-2 with a 2.55 ERA, a 0.79 WHIP, and a 13.75 K/9 rate in seven starts and 35 1/3 IP. His next scheduled start will be a tough one at the Cubs, but fantasy managers will likely feel more confident throwing their ace out there after his stellar return performance.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) will be activated off the injured list and start against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Gilbert appears to be finally ready to return after being sidelined since late April due to a right elbow flexor strain. He looked strong during his most recent rehab start where he struck out six batters across five shutout innings. Before going down, Gilbert had allowed two earned runs or less in five of his first six starts this season. Gilbert needs to be rostered and started in all fantasy formats.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (elbow) will throw a bullpen session at T-Mobile Park on Friday before their game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians, and if he comes out of it feeling good, the Mariners expect his next start to come in the big leagues, according to general manager Justin Hollander. Gilbert has made three minor-league rehab starts with Triple-A Tacoma and has looked good, posting a 2.79 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and four walks in 9 2/3 frames. The 28-year-old is on the cusp of a return to the big-league rotation in Seattle and should not be floating around on any waiver wires. The former first-rounder was a first-time All-Star in 2024 and is a fantasy ace when he's right. Before his elbow injury, he had a career-best 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 44 strikeouts and only six walks in his six starts (30 1/3 innings).

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) turned in a great rehab start in Tuesday's 2-1 win with Triple-A Tacoma. Gilbert pitched five scoreless innings, allowing one hit and one walk with six strikeouts on 72 pitches. The 28-year-old has been on the injured list since the end of April with a right elbow flexor strain. As for his next steps, manager Dan Wilson said, "We're just kind of reassessing after each start, but we'll see". The Mariners have dealt with several rotation injuries this season, so they will gladly welcome their ace back when he is ready. The good news is that Gilbert has upped his pitch count in each of his rehab outings. Fantasy managers should look for more definitive news as to when he may rejoin the Mariners, but it seems as though he is close.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) is expected to make one more rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma before being activated from the 15-day injured list. The next start will come on Tuesday, so the timeline for his return lands sometime around June 16, when the Mariners will be facing the Red Sox in Seattle. The righty would likely take the spot of Emerson Hancock, who has pitched well as of late with a 2.91 ERA over his last four starts, or potentially Bryce Miller, who has been less effective, with a 5.36 ERA in nine starts. Gilbert made six starts before hitting the IL, posting a 2.37 ERA (1.71 xFIP), a 0.79 WHIP, and a 32.5 percent K-BB%. Fantasy managers will welcome him back with open arms after posting those kinds of numbers, although it will be tough to replicate those stats for the rest of the season.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) was able to throw 60 pitches in his second rehab outing on Wednesday evening with Triple-A Tacoma. In this start, the right-hander logged three innings of two-run ball with five hits and a walk. He struck out two. In this outing, Gilbert's velocity steadily declined as he progressed through the game. In his first start with Triple-A Tacoma, Gilbert logged just 1 2/3 innings of work and held a 3:2 K:BB. The 28-year-old is still working his way back from a right elbow flexor strain that has kept him on the injured list since April 26. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as Gilbert may be cleared to rejoin Seattle in the coming days. Before his injury, the 28-year-old was enjoying an impressive start to the season, logging 30 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.37 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP. When he is cleared to return, he will carry high-end SP1 upside in all leagues. Emerson Hancock will likely shift to the bullpen or be optioned to Triple-A when Gilbert returns.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (elbow) is scheduled to make his second rehab start Wednesday at Cheney Stadium for Triple-A Tacoma. He tossed 1 1/3 innings of one-run ball in his first outing and is expected to show progress before the Mariners consider activating him from the injured list. The Mariners initially planned for at least two rehab appearances for Gilbert as he works his way back from a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right elbow. If all goes well, the 28-year-old could rejoin the rotation as early as next Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Glbert had made six starts, posting a stellar 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP across 30 1/3 innings this season.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) allowed one earned run and struck out three batters during his Triple-A rehab outing on Thursday. The right-hander lasted 1.2 innings, allowing two hits and two walks. He also plunked a batter. Although he demonstrated his familiar ability to strike out batters, the fact that Gilbert issued three free passes is somewhat concerning. He had already thrown 45 pitches by the time he was pulled from the game in the second inning. The 28-year-old is likely headed for at least one more rehab start before he's cleared to return to an MLB mound.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week in Triple-A, reports Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. The earliest possible start date would be Thursday. This will put him on track to be ready by early June, after being out since April 25 with an elbow strain. He was one of the best pitchers in baseball before suffering the injury, posting a 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 44 strikeouts in 30 innings.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) completed a simulated game on Friday. However, the right-hander is expected to require multiple rehab appearances before being cleared to return from the 15-day injured list. The right-hander has been sidelined with a right elbow flexor strain since late April. Given his current progress, fantasy managers should expect the right-hander to remain sidelined for at least a few more weeks. Before his injury, the 28-year-old was enjoying an impressive start to the season. Through his first 30 1/3 innings of work, the right-hander held a strong 2.37 ERA with a 0.79 WHIP. He tallied 44 punchouts and held a stellar 5.1% walk rate. When he returns, Gilbert should be viewed as a must-start high-end SP1. While he remains sidelined, Emerson Hancock and Logan Evans should remain in the starting rotation.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) is expected to throw a simulated game in Houston on Friday, according to Tim Booth of The Seattle Times. Gilbert hasn't pitched in a live game since April 25, but he's trending in the right direction with a pair of bullpen sessions and his upcoming sim game. Presumably, a rehab assignment awaits Gilbert in the near future. The 28-year-old was off to an impressive start before suffering a right elbow flexor strain. Over six starts (30.1 innings), he posted a 1.73 xFIP, 13.05K/9, and 1.78 BB/9. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he works toward returning to an MLB mound soon.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) completed his second bullpen session on Saturday. Gilbert was able to throw 25 pitches. This is a great sign for the right-hander as he appears to be progressing well as he works his way back from a right elbow flexor strain. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could be cleared to increase his workload in the coming weeks. Before his injury, Gilbert was enjoying an impressive start to the campaign, posting a 2.37 ERA with a 0.79 WHIP. Across 30 1/3 innings of work, Gilbert has struck out 44 batters and served up walks at an elite 5.1% rate. He has also placed in the 94th percentile in xERA. While he remains sidelined, Emerson Hancock and Logan Evans should continue to see opportunities in the rotation.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (elbow) threw around 25 pitches in his first full-fledged bullpen session on Tuesday, according to The Seattle Times' Adam Jude. Gilbert ramped up the intensity for his final handful of pitches and hit 94-plus mph on the radar gun with no discomfort in his right elbow. It's a big step for Seattle's ace, but he'll probably need another bullpen before being cleared to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. But once the 28-year-old is cleared to pitch in games again, it shouldn't be long before he returns to the major-league bullpen. Barring a setback, Gilbert could be back for fantasy managers by the end of May. The former 14th overall pick should be stashed in an injured-list spot while he recovers and will be a must-start when he returns. In six starts before his injury, Gilbert had a 2.37 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings pitched.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (elbow) said that he will throw his first bullpen session on Tuesday. Gilbert threw off the mound to a standing catcher on Sunday. It's still to be determined on when he will possibly start a minor-league rehab assignment, but the 28-year-old reiterated that everything has felt good with his right elbow at every step so far. Gilbert was placed on the 15-day injured list in late April with a right-elbow injury, but as long as he doesn't suffer a setback as he begins ramping up, there's a chance he could be back for fantasy managers and in Seattle's starting rotation by the end of May. The former 14th overall pick in 2018 out of Stetson University is a must-start in fantasy each and every time he takes the mound when he's healthy. He had a 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 44 punchouts in 30 1/3 innings in his six starts before getting hurt.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (elbow) was scheduled to play catch again on Friday and could throw off the mound by the end of the team's current homestand next Wednesday, May 14, according to general manager Justin Hollander. Gilbert landed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right elbow, but barring a setback, the M's are hoping that he'll be able to rejoin their starting rotation by the end of May. The 28-year-old was shut down from throwing for two weeks and will now begin building up his arm. When healthy, Gilbert is a high-end fantasy starter, so he needs to remain stashed in an IL spot in all leagues. The former 14th overall pick in 2018 out of Stetson went 1-1 with a 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 44 strikeouts and only six walks in six starts over 30 1/3 innings this year before getting hurt.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) could return before the end of the month. Shannon Drayer reported that his outlook is "better than what it was initially." Gilbert was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 flexor strain. The 27-year-old has yet to resume throwing; however, given this report, Gilbert may not need too much time to ramp up before he is cleared to return. Through his first 30 1/3 innings of work this season, the 27-year-old has posted a strong 2.37 ERA with a stellar 0.79 WHIP. He has tallied 44 punchouts while generating groundballs at a 51.5 percent rate. When Gilbert returns, he will be viewed as a high-end SP1 for the remainder of the campaign. While he remains sidelined, Emerson Hancock and Logan Evans should continue to see opportunities in the rotation.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. Gilbert was forced to exit early during Friday's start due to an elbow issue. Gilbert will now officially head to the injured list due to a right elbow flexor strain. The right-hander will miss at least two starts, but fantasy managers should expect him to be out a little longer than that. This is a tough break for the Mariners considering how well Gilbert has been pitching for them. So far this season, Gilbert has allowed two earned runs or less in every start, but one. It's unclear at the moment who is going to replace Gilbert in the Mariners rotation. The expectation is that Logan Evans could see a few starts while Gilbert is sidelined.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (forearm) was pulled from his start early on Friday in an eventual 8-4 loss to the visiting Miami Marlins at T-Mobile Park with right-forearm tightness, the team announced. Gilbert made it through three hitless and scoreless innings with no walks and three strikeouts before coming out. It's a scary situation for the Mariners and Gilbert, who is one of the best pitchers in all of baseball when he's healthy. For now, we'll consider him day-to-day until we know more about the severity of his injury, but fantasy managers need to keep a close eye on the situation. At the very least, there's a good chance he will have to miss his next start. The former first-rounder in 2018 out of Stetson University came into his sixth start of the year on Friday with a 2.63 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 41 strikeouts in 27 1/3 innings pitched.

Mariners ace Logan Gilbert hung around for five innings on Sunday, striking out seven Rangers on his way to his first win of the season. Rangers outfielder Dustin Harris tagged Gilbert for a home run in the second inning, Gilbert's third longball allowed in 2025, but that was the only run he gave up on Sunday. He also gave up just two other hits. Gilbert has thrown fewer than six innings in three of his four starts this year, but thanks to a league-leading 38.5% K%, he ranks second in strikeouts with 32. Through four starts, Gilbert has a 1-1 record, 32 K, 2.38 ERA, and 0.66 WHIP. The 27-year-old is expected to next take the mound against the Blue Jays in Toronto on April 19.

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Logan Gilbert got his 2025 regular season off to a fantastic start by throwing seven innings with eight strikeouts, no walks, two hits, and one earned run. His only blemish came against Tyler Soderstrom, who took him 432 feet to dead center. Gilbert was filling up the strike zone consistently, which allowed him to work deep in the game. He threw 60 of his 83 pitches for strikes in this contest. The Mariners' offense couldn't produce enough offense to ensure him the win, so Gilbert walked away from this outing with a no-decision. Gilbert remains one of the top arms in fantasy baseball, and fantasy managers should be encouraged by what they saw in the opener. He will look to build on his momentum in his next start, which lines up to be next week at home against the Detroit Tigers.
