Gore was placed on the disabled list with a blister for the second time this season.
EDGE Analysis
The young lefty missed nearly a month earlier in the season with the same issue. He's made just three starts for Low-A Fort Wayne this year, allowing nine earned runs in eight innings. It's tough to judge his performance in a small, injury-affected sample, though, and there are positive indicators in his stat line, such as his 10:2 K:BB.

Gore (finger) allowed four runs in two innings pitched in his return from the disabled list for Low-A Fort Wayne on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The pitching prospect wound up missing just under a month due to a blister on his left middle finger. Gore fanned two in a scoreless first inning, but got hit hard in the second inning. The 19-year-old has now allowed six earned runs in five innings pitched for the TinCaps, but at least he has a 7:2 K:BB in that span.

Gore (finger) is expected to come off the 7-day disabled list Tuesday for Low-A Fort Wayne, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gore went on the DL due to a blister on his left middle finger in mid-April, and he's scheduled to be activated Tuesday. He's made just one start at Low-A this season, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four across three innings.

Gore is on the 7-day disabled list with Low-A Fort Wayne due to a blister on his left middle finger, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gore was apparently hampered by the injury during spring training, but he did manage to make a start this season even with the injury. It's unclear how long he'll be out of action, though blisters can prove to be troublesome for pitchers in some instances.

Gore, who will open the year at Low-A Fort Wayne, is being prepared for a fast track through the minor-league ranks, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. "He's going to move fast enough to where we're going to need to put a lot of innings on him so that he's ready," farm director Sam Geaney said.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds like Gore could be this season's Forrest Whitley -- a prep pitcher from the previous year's draft class who starts at Low-A and finishes the year at Double-A. Gore threw approximately 80 innings as a high school junior and roughly 100 innings last year between his final high school season and his pro debut in the AZL. It seems logical that he will approach 130 innings in 2018 if he stays healthy. Gore is a special left-handed pitching prospect who has frontline upside and should be owned in all dynasty leagues.

Gore tossed four scoreless innings for the Padres' rookie-level Arizona League affiliate Monday, giving up one hit and no walks while striking out five batters.
EDGE Analysis
Gore has been flawless through three appearances in rookie ball, giving up no runs in eight innings and posting an immaculate 13:1 K:BB. The No. 3 overall pick looks like he could be ready for higher-level competition, but as a left-hander who just wrapped up high school in the spring, the Padres likely won't aggressively push him through the system. Expect his innings to be monitored carefully for the rest of the season.
