Gore may be able to avoid surgery on his elbow, but he'll continue to be evaluated for the next few days, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gore was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday and the team's medical staff is still determining the extent of his injury. While it's possible the southpaw will be able to recover with a period of rest and rehab, it seems likely he'll need more than the minimum 15 days on the shelf.

EDGE Analysis
Gore left Monday's outing with a sore left elbow, and while it's not yet clear exactly what type of injury he is dealing with, he will miss at least two weeks. Dinelson Lamet was recalled to take Gore's place on the roster.

Gore left Monday's game against the Tigers with an unspecified injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Gore will remain in the Padres' bullpen for now, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gore shifted to a relief role just before the All-Star break, and the Padres will elect to continue with a five-man rotation for now, likely to limit the workloads of Gore and Nick Martinez. Gore made a relief appearance Sunday against Arizona and allowed two runs on a hit and two walks while striking out one in one-third of an inning.

Padres manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday that Gore will move to the bullpen for the team's final four games before the All-Star break, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
San Diego will get by with a five-man rotation this week, with both Sean Manaea and Mike Clevinger picking up a pair of starts during the team's seven-game slate. Gore is expected to slot back into the Padres' six-man rotation following the break, but the week off from starting duty could prove beneficial for the struggling rookie. Over his last five starts, Gore has gone 0-3 with a 10.18 ERA, 2.26 WHIP and 13:16 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Gore (4-4) took the loss during Sunday's 12-0 defeat at the hands of the Giants, allowing eight runs on eight hits and one walk with two strikeouts in 3.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gore delivered a 1-2-3 first inning but it was all downhill from there as the rookie served up two-run home runs in the second and third and surrendered four more runs in the fourth before being pulled. It's the second instance in four turns where the 23-year-old has permitted eight runs, and his ERA has spiked more than 2.5 runs from 1.50 to 4.08 since June 11. The one positive takeaway is the one free pass Gore issued snapped a six-start streak of walking at least three, though he's still averaging a lofty 4.3 BB/9. He'll look to turn things around against Arizona next weekend.

Gore allowed one run on five hits, four walks and two hit batters while striking out three over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gore has walked at least three batters in each of his last six appearances after doing so just once in his first seven outings. For the second straight start, he was able to mitigate the damage despite putting a lot of traffic on base, as he's allowed just one run in 10.2 innings after giving up 14 runs over the two starts before this improved stretch. The rookie southpaw has a 3.18 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 68:32 K:BB in 65 innings overall, and he'll need to work on reining in his control next weekend against the Giants.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 1-0 victory over Philadelphia, allowing three hits and four walks with four strikeouts in five scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gore started strong by retiring the first six Phillies but was lucky to strand all seven batters he put on in the third through fifth innings. The scoreless outing is the 23-year-old's fifth in 15 starts, though he's now walked at least three batters in each of his last five turns after totaling 11 in his first 10. Gore owns a solid 3.34 ERA and 1.33 WHIP and will be tested with a road start against the Dodgers scheduled for next weekend.

Gore (4-3) took a four-inning loss against the Rockies on Friday, allowing eight runs on nine hits while striking out one and walking three.
EDGE Analysis
Gore added more than a run to his ERA after allowing eight earned runs, including three home runs. He lasted just four innings after going 2.1 in his last appearance, also against Colorado. The young lefty had been stellar this season up until his last two games and still holds a solid 3.64 ERA. Gore will look to make some adjustments before his next outing, tentatively set for next week at home versus the Phillies. The rookie should have a chance to stay in the rotation, especially with Joe Musgrove on the COVID-19-related injured list.
