Gilbert allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three over three innings in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert, who made a spot start last week against the Nationals, was called up Monday and will operate out of the bullpen. His role could change, per Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic, who reports manager Torey Lovullo left the door open for Gilbert to start down the road. The left-hander made six starts in 2021, posting a 3.47 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with a 20/11 K/BB ratio over 36.1 innings.

Gilbert was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert made a spot start Tuesday in the second game of a doubleheader against the Nationals and looked good, allowing one run in 5.2 innings, but he wound up taking the loss. He's up on a seemingly more permanent basis this time around, though it's unclear what his role will be.

Gilbert (0-1) took the loss during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

It was an impressive season debut for the 28-year-old lefty, who was called up earlier in the day to make a spot start, but unfortunately for Gilbert he had no margin for error as the Dimaondbacks got shut out in the nightcap. He will likely be returned to Triple-A Reno, but Gilbert's performance might have been good enough to let him stick around in the majors in a swing man/sixth starter role.

The Diamondbacks recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Reno ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday in the second game of Arizona's doubleheader in Washington.

EDGE Analysis

With Arizona playing six games in a five-day stretch, Gilbert is stepping into the rotation as a temporary sixth starter. Since the Diamondbacks have designated him as their 29th man for the twin bill, Gilbert will be optioned back to Reno following his start Tuesday. In 40 innings with the big club in 2021, Gilbert submitted a 3.15 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 40 innings, but those strong ratios were supported by weak peripherals (7.6 K-BB%, 38.6 percent groundball rate, 5.09 xFIP). Gilbert thus profiles as a risky DFS and season-long streaming option.

The Diamondbacks plan to call up Gilbert from Triple-A Reno to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona is likely to make the transaction official following the front end of the doubleheader, with Gilbert expected to be designated as the Diamondbacks' 29th man for the twin bill. Gilbert notably tossed a no-hitter against the Padres in his MLB debut a season ago, but his 3.15 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 40 innings with the big club was supported by poor peripherals (7.6 K-BB%, 38.6 percent groundball rate, 5.09 xFIP). He'll likely be headed back to Reno after his spot start Tuesday.

Gilbert was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert pitched a no-hitter and finished with a 3.15 ERA in 40 innings as a 27-year-old rookie last year, but he won't get the chance to reprise that performance right away. He should be one of Arizona's top options when the team needs more pitching depth, though his 15.9 percent strikeout rate suggests he's unlikely to repeat his strong ERA in his next MLB opportunity.

Gilbert allowed two hits over three scoreless innings in Tuesday's spring training game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert, who is vying for the final spot in the rotation, entered the game in the fifth inning and turned in a strong outing. He needed just 33 pitches to get those nine outs. "He gets very quick, easy outs, looks like he controls counts, a lot of weak contact," manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. "He's out of the middle of the zone and missing barrels. I thought he threw the ball really well." The left-hander made his MLB debut in 2021 and threw a no-hitter against the Padres in his first major league start. Gilbert pitched well over the final six weeks, posting a 3.47 ERA and 1.018 WHIP but had just 5.0 K/9.

Gilbert (elbow) could be a frontrunner for the Diamondbacks' fifth-starter role, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the top four rotation spots in place, Gilbert and Dan Straily are considered the frontrunners for the final spot. Gilbert made a splash last season as a 27-year-old making his MLB debut, when he tossed a no-hitter against the Padres. He went on to post a 3.15 ERA over nine starts before elbow inflammation ended his season in September.

Gilbert was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert earned a win Sunday against the Mariners after allowing two runs on two hits across 5.1 innings. but he's apparently dealing with an arm issue. It's unclear if the left-hander will pitch again this season with less than three weeks left to go. Merrill Kelly (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move and will start Wednesday versus the Dodgers.

Gilbert (2-2) allowed two earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 5.1 innings, earning the win over the Mariners on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert allowed a pair of solo home runs to Mitch Haniger and Dylan Moore, but he did not allow any other runs. It was his first win since his no-hitter on Aug. 14. The 27-year-old has a 3.15 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 25 punchouts in 40 innings. His next start is scheduled for Saturday in Houston.
