Gilbert (1-2) allowed one earned run on two hits and four walks while striking out seven across five innings, earning the win over the Angels on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert allowed a first-inning home run to Justin Upton, who was the first batter he faced. However, Gilbert fired four scoreless frames through five innings of work. Despite walking four batters, he struck out a career-high seven en route to his first win. The 24-year-old has a 4.98 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 21.2 innings.

Gilbert allowed two runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts in six inning versus Oakland on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert was in line for the win when he exited the game, but Oakland rallied to tie it up in the eighth inning. The right-hander remains in search of his first major-league win, but he's seen improvement in his two starts against Oakland this year, both of which were no-decisions. He's posted a 5.94 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 16.2 innings since he was called up on May 13. The rookie lines up for a road start versus the Angels this weekend.

Gilbert went four innings in a 4-3 win Tuesday versus Oakland, allowing two runs on four hits with four strikeouts in a no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert allowed all four hits and both runs in the second but sent every Athletic's batter dugout in the first, third and fourth other than a Sean Murphy HBP. Manager Scott Servais opted to remove Gilbert prior to the fifth with the top of Oakland's lineup due up despite only 78 pitches. He lines up to try for his first win at home against Oakland on Memorial Day.

Gilbert (0-2) took the loss against Detroit on Wednesday, pitching 2.2 innings and allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert needed 74 pitches to retire eight batters, and only 43 of his offerings went for strikes. He has now allowed seven runs over 6.2 frames on the campaign. The right-hander has been impressive in the minors, so his struggles so far in the big leagues can likely be chalked up to a learning curve, but he'll need to pitch better moving forward to remain in the rotation. His next chance to take the mound is tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday at Oakland.

Gilbert (0-1) took the 4-2 loss against Cleveland in his major-league debut Thursday, allowing four runs and five hits with five strikeouts in four innings.

EDGE Analysis

It was a mixed bag for Gilbert's first start as the four runs and two home runs isn't optimal, but five strikeouts and zero walks are encouraging for the young starter's potential. More run support can be expected as Gilbert lines up to potentially face the White Sox in his next start.

Gilbert's contract was selected by the Mariners on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert will make his major-league debut as the starting pitcher in Thursday's game against Cleveland. The right-hander made 26 minor-league starts in 2019 and posted a 2.13 ERA and 165:33 K:BB in 135 innings. Gilbert could claim a spot in Seattle's six-man rotation going forward, especially after Ljay Newsome (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL as part of a corresponding move.

Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed that Gilbert will be called up from Triple-A Tacoma to start Thursday's game against Cleveland, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Two of Seattle's top prospects will be making their MLB debuts Thursday, as Servais also confirmed that highly touted outfielder Jarred Kelenic would also join the Mariners for the start of their seven-game homestand. The 24-year-old Gilbert dazzled across three minor-league stops during the 2019 season, posting a cumulative 2.13 ERA while striking out 165 over 135 frames. The right-hander's deep, four-pitch repertoire and ability to make bats miss is enough to make him worthy of a flier in most fantasy leagues.

Gilbert will be called up by the Mariners to start Thursday's game against Cleveland, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert will make his major-league debut after he made just one appearance for Triple-A Tacoma to begin the season. During that outing, he gave up a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in five innings. Assuming he pitches well Thursday, Gilbert could remain in the Mariners' six-man rotation going forward, especially while Marco Gonzales (forearm), Nick Margevicius (shoulder) and Ljay Newsome (elbow) are sidelined.

Gilbert could be recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners haven't yet named a starter for Friday's game against Cleveland, and the team's pitching staff has been dealing with various injuries recently. While the Mariners had been using relievers to fill the six-man rotation, the team hasn't ruled out recalling Gilbert to make his major-league debut. Gilbert made his 2021 debut with Triple-A Tacoma on Friday and allowed a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in five innings. The right-hander lines up to make his next start Friday, so he would be pitching on normal rest if he debuts against Cleveland.

Gilbert is still projected to make his major-league debut in 2021, but the Mariners plan on him logging the bulk of his innings in the second half of the campaign despite the rotation vacancy created by James Paxton's season-ending elbow injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Scott Servais noted Wednesday that the organization will be careful with all of its minor-league arms, especially those on the cusp of the majors, after many went without pitching in official games all of 2020. The Mariners would prefer to have the 23-year-old Gilbert finish out the season at the big-league level as opposed to deploying him at the front end of the campaign and then shutting him down early once he reaches his innings limit.
