Gilbert will start Saturday's game against the Padres, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert joined the major-league club in early August, and he's struck out five in 3.2 scoreless innings across three relief appearances. The southpaw worked mainly as a starter at Triple-A Reno to begin the year, so he should be able to handle a normal workload in his first major-league start.
