Gomber (0-5) was charged with the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
It was another tough day for Gomber, who's now allowed four or more runs in three of his last four starts. The left-hander's ERA is up to 6.28 through eight starts (38.2 innings) this season with a 1.66 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB. Gomber will look to turn things around in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Pirates.

Gomber (0-4) took the loss against St. Louis on Monday, allowing five runs on 11 hits and no walks while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber got through three scoreless frames before the Cardinals scored twice against him in the fourth. St. Louis struck for another run in the fifth, and Gomber entered the sixth inning trailing 3-2. The southpaw was unable to make it out of the sixth, as the Cardinals put up two more runs against him on four singles (two of which didn't leave the infield). Gomber is still looking for his first victory of the campaign, and he's taken the loss in each of his past three starts. On a positive note, Gomber's 5.2 frames and six punchouts Monday were both season-high marks, so he at least appears to be healthy after missing over two-and-a-half months to begin the campaign due to a shoulder issue.

Gomber (0-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings in a 4-2 defeat against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander's outing got off to a rocky start, as he served up a leadoff homer to TJ Friedl on just his fourth pitch of the game. Gomber managed to limit the damage from there but was yet again unable to make it past the fifth inning. This marked only his sixth start on the season after recovering from a shoulder injury, and through those outings, he's posted a 5.65 ERA while surrendering six home runs and has yet to find a consistent groove.

Gomber (0-2) took the loss Monday at Boston, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The Colorado southpaw took a pounding at Fenway Park, as the Red Sox lineup roped four extra-base hits -- three doubles and a homer -- to chase Gomber after 91 pitches. Gomber appeared to still be working his way back from a shoulder injury that sidelined him through June 15, as he averaged 89.5 mph on his fastball. While that average was up from his season mark prior to Monday (88.7 mph), it was still below his 2024 average of 90.4 mph. Across 24.1 frames, Gomber has pitched to a 5.92 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB while allowing five homers. He currently lines up to make his next start at Cincinnati this weekend.

Gomber took a no-decision Wednesday against the Astros, giving up two runs on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber was able to maneuver through some trouble, holding Houston in check for two runs despite allowing eight knocks. The left-hander has yet to work greater than five innings in any of his four starts this season, and he's fanned only two over his last three outings. Gomber's nine-run implosion from his June 20 start has left him with a bloated 5.49 ERA and his 1.53 WHIP through his first 19.2 innings, and he doesn't shape up as a recommended fantasy option against the Red Sox at Fenway Park in his next scheduled start.

Gomber allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber rebounded from a nine-run meltdown versus Arizona last Friday to turn in his second strong outing in three starts since recovering from a shoulder injury. The southpaw has allowed 10 runs in total over 14.2 innings so far, but his numbers are inflated by the poor start. He's added a 5:3 K:BB and remains in search of his first win. Gomber's never been particularly strong in the strikeout department, and playing for the majors' worst team will make wins tough to come by this year. His next start is projected to be another tough matchup at home versus the Astros.

Gomber (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Rockies fell 14-8 to the Diamondbacks, coughing up nine runs on 12 hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He failed to strike out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
After a strong season debut Sunday in his return from a shoulder injury, Gomber got caught up in a classic Coors Field barn burner. Half the hits off the southpaw went for extra bases, including homers by Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suarez and Ildemaro Vargas, and he managed only four swinging strikes among his 81 pitches (57 total strikes). Gomber's next start is scheduled to come on the road next week, but the matchup won't get any easier as he faces the Dodgers.

Gomber allowed two hits and a walk over five scoreless innings Sunday in a no-decision against Atlanta. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
It was an impressive return to the mound for Gomber, who gave up just two singles in an eventual 10-1 Rockies victory. The left-hander missed over two months after suffering a shoulder injury in spring training. Gomber made 30 starts for Colorado last season, going 5-12 with a 4.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 116 strikeouts. He's tentatively lined up to face the Diamondbacks at home in his second outing.

The Rockies reinstated Gomber (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday in Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber will be making his 2025 debut after suffering a left shoulder injury in spring training and then experiencing a setback during a March 28 rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque. He was cleared to resume his rehab assignment June 4, and after covering four innings in starts with Double-A Hartford and Albuquerque, Gomber is ready to slot back into the Colorado rotation. The southpaw tossed 69 pitches during his most recent appearance Tuesday and could be capped at around 80 or 90 pitches Sunday.

The Rockies plan to activate Gomber (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list to have him start Sunday in Atlanta, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Colorado's decision to option No. 5 starter Carson Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque earlier Thursday seemed to signal that Gomber was on track to rejoin the rotation, and the 31-year-old has now been confirmed to make his 2025 debut with Colorado this weekend. After experiencing shoulder soreness in spring training, Gomber was expected to be in line for a brief absence to begin the season, but he had a setback coming out of a March 28 rehab outing with Albuquerque that extended his stay on the IL. He was cleared to resume his assignment earlier this month and has looked sharp in his starts with Double-A Hartford and Albuquerque, covering eight innings and striking out eight while allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks between those two outings. He tossed 69 pitches in his latest appearance Tuesday and should be ready to handle something close to a typical starter's workload Sunday.
