Gomber (9-7) lost Friday's 5-4 contest with San Francisco, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks with two strikeouts in four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber started on a sour note by permitting four runs in the first inning, though he only surrendered one more over his next three innings, and became the loser when Colorado's ninth-inning rally came up short. The lefty has pitched adequately this season with a 4.09 ERA but he'll need to improve his consistency to become a reliable option given he's averaging less than 5.1 innings per start.

Gomber (9-6) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, pitching six shutout innings in which he allowed five hits and no walks while striking out nine.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw breezed through six frames and may have gone deeper if not for the fact that Colorado was breezing with a seven-run lead at the time of his exit. Gomber threw 64 of 92 pitches for strikes, induced 18 swings-and-misses and established a season high with nine punchouts. He bounced back in a big way from his season-worst performance his last time out, when Gomber allowed four runs and lasted only one inning against San Diego. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a strong first season in Colorado, posting a 3.79 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 97.1 innings. His next start is currently scheduled to take place in San Francisco next weekend.

Gomber (8-6) allowed four earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three across one inning, taking the loss to the Padres on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber was pulled after a disastrous 40-pitch first inning Sunday, which marked his shortest start of the season. All three outs were punchouts, but he allowed six batters to reach safely accounting for four runs. It was a very different start from the last time he faced San Diego, shutting them out over eight innings. The 27-year-old has a 4.04 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP over 91.1 innings this season.

Gomber (8-5) secured the win over the Angels on Tuesday, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw continued his strong first campaign with Colorado, notching his sixth quality start in his past nine outings. The only runs he allowed in the contest came on yet another homer off the bat of Shohei Ohtani. Gomber lowered his ERA to 3.69 with the effective appearance while picking up his fifth win his past six starts. His next outing is tentatively slated to come at San Diego on Sunday.

Gomber (7-5) picked up the win in Wednesday's 6-3 victory over the Mariners, allowing three runs on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start since June 19 after he dealt with some forearm tightness, Gomber delivered his ninth quality start of the season, but things could have been much worse for the lefty as all three hits he gave up left Coors Field for solo shots. He's served up multiple homers four times in 16 starts this season, but remarkably this was the first such performance at home for the 27-year-old. Gomber will carry a 3.74 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 79:24 K:BB through 84.1 innings into his next outing.

Gomber (forearm) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber had been on the injured list for just over a month due to right forearm tightness, but he tossed 62 pitches during his lone rehab outing at Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday and allowed three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four in four innings. It's not yet clear whether the southpaw could be on a pitch count in Wednesday's series finale, but he should be available going forward.

Gomber (forearm) will be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty said he felt ready to be activated after tossing 62 pitches during a rehab outing with Triple-A Albuquerque last Friday. He will indeed make his first start Wednesday since suffering the forearm injury June 19, and in somewhat of a surprising update, he won't be on a strict pitch count. Gomber had been enjoying a spectacular stretch prior to landing on the IL, posting a 1.62 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 42:3 K:BB in his previous eight starts.

Gomber (forearm) said Saturday that he feels ready to rejoin the Rockies' rotation even if he's not fully stretched out during his first start back, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Gomber tossed 62 pitches while allowing three runs on five hits across four innings during his rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber will likely be limited to 70-85 pitches in his next outing, whether that comes with the big club or in another rehab outing. The southpaw said he feels "ready to pitch (in the majors) again," but the Rockies have not yet determined where he'll make his next outing. Gomber was pitching very well prior to landing on the IL with forearm tightness June 20, posting a 1.62 ERA and 42:3 K:BB across his past eight starts. If the club does indeed activate him for his next start, he would likely take the ball at some point next weekend against the Dodgers.

Gomber (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomber threw a two-inning simulated game prior to the All-Star break and is expected to toss 60 pitches across four innings in his rehab start Friday. The southpaw has been sidelined since June 19 due to forearm tightness, but he's been able to build up recently and could be nearing a return to the major-league roster.

Manager Bud Black said that Gomber (forearm) threw around 35 pitches during a two-inning simulated game Saturday, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports. The left-hander will throw a side session on Wednesday and could make a rehab start as soon as Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday's simulated game marks a big step for Gomber in his return from forearm tightness. It's not clear how many starts Gomber will require in the minors, but if he is indeed able to make his first rehab start next weekend, he should have a solid chance of rejoining the Rockies' rotation by the end of July. Gomber was pitching exceptionally prior to suffering the injury June 19, allowing just three earned runs across 21 innings dating back to June 3.
