Overview

  • Logan Gilbert was removed after three perfect innings on just 29 pitches due to right forearm tightness, with further evaluation pending.
  • Gilbert showed slightly diminished velocity across most pitches, raising concerns about potential underlying issues.
  • The 2024 All-Star had never previously been on the injured list since his MLB debut in May 2021, underscoring his remarkable durability until now.
  • George Kirby, sidelined with right shoulder inflammation since early March, threw a bullpen session but remains several weeks from rejoining the rotation.
  • Seattle's rotation, a season-long strength, now faces significant challenges as it monitors the health of its two top starters.
