Welcome to the latest edition of RotoBallers Recently Promoted Prospects series for fantasy baseball! Here I discuss some recently promoted MLB prospects and rookies , making note of what I think their upside could be for fantasy baseball managers, and whether they are potential risers or fallers.We have seen 87 rookies make their MLB debut in 2021. This week, we got two big-time debuts out of the Seattle Mariners organization - outfielder Jarred Kelenic and starting pitcher Logan Gilbert. I ...

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert threw four innings and 71 pitches in his first major league appearance against Cleveland before exiting. He allowed four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five. Gilbert was at his best in a quick first inning, in which he threw eight fastballs, all for strikes, in setting down all three batters he faced. He got into some trouble after that, allowing home runs to Franmil Reyes and Jose Ramirez in the second and third innings. ...

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert will be making his major league debut Thursday night against Cleveland, and he's expected to throw between 80 and 85 pitches. Gilbert is coming to the major leagues a little earlier than originally planned and is not fully stretched out, but he gets a very advantageous matchup against a Cleveland squad that's already been no-hit twice this year. Gilbert should be an immediate add and start after posting a 2.88 ERA and 10.08 strikeouts per nine ...

The Seattle Mariners are calling up pitching prospect Logan Gilbert, and he's likely to get the start against the Cleveland Indians on Thursday. Gilbert, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, allowed one run on four hits while striking out five and walking none in his only start for Triple-A Tacoma this year. The 24-year-old right-hander was a first-rounder back in 2018 and could stick in the rotation for a while due to injuries to James Paxton, Nick Margevicius, Marco Gonzales and ...

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert was expected to pitch in the minor leagues for the first half of the year before making his major league debut, but that stance could be changing. With injuries to James Paxton, Nick Margevicius, Marco Gonzales, and now Ljay Newsome, the Seattle rotation is in disarray, and necessity may become the mother of invention. Manager Scott Servais has not yet named a starter for either Friday or Sunday, and if Gilbert is chosen for either of those ...

Seattle Mariners pitcher Ljay Newsome was recalled from the alternate site Wednesday, following James Paxton's placement on the injured list with a left forearm strain. Newsome will slot into the bullpen, as Nick Margevicius takes Paxton's place in the rotation. Newsome is not fantasy relevant at this time, but this does make him the next in line, along with prospect Logan Gilbert, should there be any further injuries.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert won't make any more Cactus League appearances this year. The Mariners have decided to keep their young pitcher out of the action in an attempt to limit his workload. Gilbert will continue to throw bullpen sessions and, possibly, simulated games. This will allow the Mariners to allocate Gilbert's innings to the second half of the major league season, when he will presumably be called up to the big club. Once he is in the majors, Gilbert has the...

Seattle Mariners top pitching prospect Logan Gilbert is expected to make his major league debut this year. Gilbert, considered to be one of the top two Seattle pitching prospects along with recent draftee Emerson Hancock, will almost certainly begin the season in the minors. A 23-year-old right-hander, Gilbert stands an imposing 6-foot-6 and throws a four-pitch mix, highlighted by his fastball. The four-seamer hits 97 mph with late movement, but it's his improved changeup that has him knocking ...

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert pitched two innings in the win over the Angels on Tuesday, finishing the afternoon with three strikeouts, which included fanning Shohei Ohtani and prospect Jo Adell. The 2018 first-round pick out of Stetson has made the most of his invite to spring training, allowing just one hit in four innings of work, while striking out four batters. The 23-year-old will likely start the season in the minors but could get the call-up at some point in 2020, ...

The Seattle Mariners promoted pitching prospect Logan Gilbert from Low-A West Virginia to High-A Modesto on Wednesday. Gilbert, the team's first-round pick last year, was 1-0 with a 1.83 ERA with 30 K's and five walks in 19 2/3 innings in his four starts. While the soon-to-be 22-year-old likely won't be an option for Seattle's rotation for a few years, he's one to keep on your radar in dynasty/keeper leagues. Gilbert is the team's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline.
