Logan Gilbert Likely To Start Thursday
The Seattle Mariners are calling up pitching prospect Logan Gilbert, and he's likely to get the start against the Cleveland Indians on Thursday. Gilbert, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, allowed one run on four hits while striking out five and walking none in his only start for Triple-A Tacoma this year. The 24-year-old right-hander was a first-rounder back in 2018 and could stick in the rotation for a while due to injuries to James Paxton, Nick Margevicius, Marco Gonzales and Ljay Newsome. Gilbert can throw strikes with all of his offerings and has plenty of swing-and-miss stuff. In 2019 in three minor league stops, he had a 2.13 ERA and 0.94 WHIP while striking out 165 and walking just 33 in 135 innings over 26 starts for Single-A West Virginia, High-A Modesto and Double-A Arkansas. Gilbert should become a priority waiver wire addition for fantasy managers.
