Gsellman allowed six runs (five earned) on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision Friday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Gsellman has completed the sixth inning just three times in seven starts since returning to the Mets rotation August 16. His inconsistency can largely be attributed to his poor control. He has walked 15 batters over just 37.2 innings in that stretch with just 21 strikeouts to offset all those free baserunners. Gsellman had allowed two runs or fewer in six of his past seven starts, but the other shoe finally dropped Friday.

Gsellman (7-7) allowed an unearned run on three hits while striking out three batters through seven innings in a winning effort against the Braves on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a strong late-season stretch for Gsellman, as he's now allowed just 11 earned runs over 32.2 innings through his past six starts. However, he still sports an underwhelming 4.92 FIP and 6.1 K/9 for the season and projects to make his next start against Washington at Citi Field. Gsellman checks out as a risky start against the Nationals in most settings.

Gsellman (6-7) walked five batters and allowed five hits en route to four runs over four innings in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
For every promising outing Gsellman manages to put together -- like his most recent start before this one, a solid win against the Phillies -- there's always that game that brings expectations right back down. Then again, there's something to be said for a pitcher being as predictable as Gsellman; broadly speaking, he pitches well against bad offenses and poorly against good ones. He comes with risk, but the righty is streamable when the matchup leans his way.

Gsellman (6-6) gave up three runs -- two earned -- on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts while pitching all six innings of Wednesday's rain-shortened win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Maybe a little rain was all he needed, as Gsellman -- taking the mound for the first time since Aug. 26 -- bounced back nicely after averaging less than five innings per start over his last six outings. Overly prone to both homers and walks, Gsellman's largely made his own bad luck this year, and his occasional quality outing can't obscure his general ineffectiveness.

Gsellman was confirmed as Wednesday's starter against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gsellman takes the place of Matt Harvey, who was moved to Thursday due to a weather concern for Wednesday's contest. During his latest major-league outing, Gsellman gave up six runs on nine hits and a pair of walks during a loss against the Nationals on Aug. 26. Throughout the course of the 2017 season, the right-hander has made 20 appearances for the Mets, posting a 5.60 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 91.2 innings.

Gsellman (5-6) landed in the loss column after allowing six runs - two earned - on nine runs and two walks in four innings Saturday against the Nationals. He struck out one and was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas after the game.
EDGE Analysis
While only two of the runs were earned, the other four runs came as a result of an error Gsellman committed in the first inning. He'll head back to the minors after compiling a 5.75 ERA and 59:31 K:BB through 87.2 innings as a big-league starter. He should be back with the Mets once rosters expand in September as a long reliever or a spot-starting option.

Gsellman was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gsellman turned in one of his best outings of the season earlier this week -- he tossed 6.1 innings of one-run ball against the Diamondbacks -- but with Seth Lugo (shoulder) ready to return, Gsellman will lose his spot for now. Look for him to return when rosters expand, and chances are Gsellman will get more starting opportunities in September.

Gsellman allowed a single run on five hits and a walk while striking out three batters through 6.1 innings during Monday's loss to Arizona. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Considering the Diamondbacks roll out a strong lineup, this was a solid showing from Gsellman. Unfortunately, this level of outing has been few and far between for the 24-year-old righty. After all, he sports a disappointing 5.65 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 6.4 K/9 for the campaign. Even after Monday's encouraging start, it's probably wise to keep expectations in check for Gsellman. He projects to make his next start against Washington at Nationals Park.

Gsellman gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over 5.1 innings Wednesday while striking out two but didn't factor into the decision in a 5-3 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from a hanging slider in the fourth inning that Aaron Judge annihilated and parked in the upper deck in left field, Gsellman's return to the Mets rotation was a relatively successful one, as he kept the team in the game despite a makeshift infield defense behind him that included catcher Travis d'Arnaud bouncing between third and second base depending on who was at the plate. The right-hander will face another tough test Monday at home against the Diamondbacks.

Gsellman (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day DL and will start Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Seth Lugo was placed on the 10-day DL with a shoulder impingement, so Gsellman essentially switches spots with him, and should stick in the rotation for the foreseeable future. Gsellman posted a 2.92 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and nine strikeouts in 12.1 innings across four rehab starts. His 6.16 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 76 innings in the big leagues prior to his injury make him an extremely risky fantasy option.
