Overview

  • Logan Gilbert, one of MLB’s most durable pitchers, was placed on the 15-day IL with a mild Grade 1 flexor strain in his pitching elbow.
  • An MRI confirmed the strain, leading to a prescribed two-week throwing shutdown before re-evaluation for further rehabilitation steps.
  • Top pitching prospect Logan Evans will make his MLB debut, starting in Sunday’s series finale against the Miami Marlins.
  • Seattle reshuffled its roster, designating Casey Lawrence for assignment and recalling Tayler Saucedo and Troy Taylor from Triple-A Tacoma.
  • George Kirby, another All-Star in the Mariners’ rotation, remains sidelined with shoulder inflammation but could face live hitters soon as part of his recovery process.
