Gomber (0-3) took the loss Friday, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks over 3.2 innings against the Mariners. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber has had a rough start this year, posting an 8.16 ERA in 14.1 innings pitched. The southpaw is averaging less than five innings per start, which puts too much stress on the Colorado bullpen. The 29-year-old will need to improve to become a viable fantasy option, though it's tough to trust any Rockies starter.

Gomber (0-2) took the loss against Washington on Saturday, pitching 4.2 innings and allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five batters.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber got through two scoreless frames before Stone Garrett tagged him for a three-run home run in the third. After a 1-2-3 fourth inning, Gomber found himself in trouble again in the fifth, as three straight hits led to two more runs. He was pulled after Joey Meneses tagged him for a two-out double. Gomber notched a quality start against San Diego in his first outing, but he's lost both of his first two appearances while posting a 6.75 ERA and 9:2 K:BB over 10.2 frames.

Gomber (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over six innings in a 3-1 loss against the Padres. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber gave up a solo home run to Trent Grisham and a two-run shot to Xander Bogaerts in the bottom of the third inning, but the left-hander was able to compose himself and submitted a quality start in his regular-season debut. Across 33 starts with Colorado in 2022, Gomber posted a 5.56 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 95:34 K:BB over 124.2 innings.

Gomber agreed Wednesday with the Rockies on a one-year, $1.65 million deal to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber split time between the rotation and the bullpen in 2022, logging a 5.56 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 95:34 K:BB in 124.2 innings. With Colorado making no major additions to its pitching staff so far this offseason, Gomber will likely get another chance this spring to audition for a rotation spot, but he'll presumably have a short leash even if he breaks camp with a starting role.

Gomber allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out four batters over three innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber had been coming out of the bullpen since late July, but he was given the opportunity to start the Rockies' season finale. The right-hander allowed just one run in three frames but wasn't stretched out, so he departed after 46 pitches. Gomber's second season in Colorado was his worst so far in the majors, as he finished with a 5.56 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 95:34 K:BB over 124.2 innings.

Gomber is listed as the Rockies' starting pitcher in Wednesday's season finale against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber opened the season as a member of Colorado's rotation, but he was moved to the bullpen following the All-Star break and has thus far been serving as a reliever during the second half. He'll get the chance to finish the season as a starter while the Rockies are short on available arms, but Gomber likely won't be counted on to provide much length. He hasn't recorded more than 10 outs in any of his relief outings over the past month.

Gomber covered 3.2 innings in relief in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Brewers, giving up one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
With starter Chad Kuhl getting chased from the game midway through the third inning, Gomber stepped in to give Colorado some much-needed length out of the bullpen. While he did well to keep the Brewers' bats at bay, Gomber looks like he'll have to settle for a bullpen role for now with Colorado content to give Jose Urena a trial as their No. 5 starter.

Gomber registered a no-decision during Sunday's 8-3 loss to Pittsburgh, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber surrendered an unearned run in the first inning and two earned runs in the third after two walks came home on a two-out Jake Marisnick double. The 28-year-old has assembled a decent four-start stretch to open July -- featuring 4.15 ERA across 21.2 innings -- after compiling a 6.55 ERA through his first 14 turns. Gomber concludes the first half with a 5.97 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 67 strikeouts in 89 innings across 18 starts.

Gomber will start Sunday's game against the Pirates, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies initially expected Antonio Senzatela (shoulder) to start Sunday's matchup, but Gomber will take the mound since manager Bud Black wants Gomber to keep getting back on track following some early-season struggles. Over his last four outings, the southpaw has posted a 4.19 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 19.1 innings.

Gomber (5-7) allowed one run on six hits, a walk and a hit batter with three strikeouts over six innings, earning the win Tuesday over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber was able to limit the damage to a Ha-Seong Kim RBI double in the second inning. The Rockies went ahead on a three-run home run by Charlie Blackmon in the sixth, allowing Gomber to grab his second win in his last three starts since returning to the rotation. This was up there with the best of the southpaw's outings this season, but he still owns a 6.11 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 62:24 K:BB across 84 innings in 17 games (15 starts) overall. It's unclear if Gomber will get another turn in the rotation prior to the All-Star break -- Antonio Senzatela (shoulder) could return for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
