Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday that Gomber (shoulder) has not thrown since making a rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque on March 28, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber made one rehab start before being shut down with renewed left shoulder soreness. Black added that the southpaw is feeling better and is close to beginning a throwing program, but there's no timetable for him to return from the 60-day injured list.

The Rockies transferred Gomber (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber began the season on the 15-day IL due to left shoulder inflammation. He made one rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on April 1, but he was scratched from his next scheduled start after suffering a setback and has been shut down from throwing ever since. Gomber's transfer to the 60-day IL means the veteran southpaw won't be eligible to be activated to the Rockies' roster until late May, but a timeline for his return won't be known until he resumes his throwing program.

Gomber (shoulder) won't throw for at least a week and won't pitch in a game for 2-to-3 weeks, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber was scratched from a scheduled rehab start Wednesday after experiencing soreness in his left shoulder. The veteran lefty began the season on the injured list, and given his current shutdown from throwing, it's unlikely he'll be ready to join Colorado's rotation until at least May. Gomber will need to log more rehab starts before he's ready to be activated, and Colorado probably won't be able to put together a timeline for his return until he's able to resume a throwing program.

Gomber was scratched from his scheduled rehab start at Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday due to left shoulder inflammation, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber began the season on the 15-day IL due to left shoulder soreness, so the fact that he's now dealing with inflammation in that area is a bit concerning. He'll presumably be re-evaluated to see if he suffered any structural damage after making his first rehab outing Friday, and it now seems unlikely that the 31-year-old southpaw will be able to return to Colorado after a minimum-length stay on the injured list.

Gomber (shoulder) struck out five batters and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks over four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

While tending to a sore left shoulder in spring training, Gomber didn't have enough time to get fully stretched out in advance of the Rockies' season opener and was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, but he was cleared to take the hill for Colorado's Triple-A affiliate on Opening Day. He tossed 66 pitches (39 strikes) in the rehab start, so he may need just one more tune-up outing with the Triple-A club Wednesday before getting the green light to return from the IL next week.

Gomber (shoulder) completed 3.2 innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits, in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber made his first official Cactus League appearance since Feb. 25 as he continues to return from a sore shoulder. He's likely to begin the season on the injured list as he continues to build up his pitch count, but Saturday's outing was a positive indication that he will be able to return at some point in mid-April.

Gomber (shoulder) will start Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber has been sidelined by a sore shoulder since early March, and the team announced Thursday that he will begin the season on the injured list. He'll reportedly be ready for his debut by mid-April, and the fact that he'll take the mound Saturday supports a quick return to action.

Gomber (shoulder) will begin the season on the 15-day injured list, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber is recovering well from left shoulder soreness, but he's made just one appearance this spring and that was back on Feb. 25. The left-hander is expected to be ready to rejoin the Rockies' rotation early on in the season. Colorado will operation with a four-man rotation until Gomber is ready.

Gomber was scratched from his scheduled Cactus League start Sunday against the Mariners due to left shoulder soreness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw said that his arm speed isn't at the level he wants it to be at this time of the spring, but he didn't express any major concern about the shoulder issue preventing him from being ready for Opening Day. Assuming he misses just one turn through the spring rotation, Gomber should have plenty of time to ramp up and complete his throwing progression before the March 28 season opener versus the Rays.

The Rockies and Gomber avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.35 million contract Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber will more than double his salary from 2024 in what was his third year of arbitration eligibility. The left-hander put up a 4.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 116:38 K:BB over a career-high 165 innings for the Rockies in 2024 and will be part of their rotation again in 2025.
