Tyler Gilbert Called Up By Diamondbacks
3 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks called up pitcher Tyler Gilbert from Triple-A on Tuesday. Fellow pitcher Miguel Aguilar was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old Gilbert has never pitched in the majors, but he's put together a solid season at Triple-A this year. Over 11 games (10 starts) this year, he's gone 5-2 with a 3.44 ERA and 1.24 WHIP while averaging 8.6 K/9. The Diamondbacks haven't found much consistent pitching so far this year, so we could see Gilbert get a chance to make his first MLB start soon. However, at this point, it seems more likely that he's headed for a bullpen role to begin his career in the majors.
