Mariners ace Logan Gilbert hung around for five innings on Sunday, striking out seven Rangers on his way to his first win of the season. Rangers outfielder Dustin Harris tagged Gilbert for a home run in the second inning, Gilbert's third longball allowed in 2025, but that was the only run he gave up on Sunday. He also gave up just two other hits. Gilbert has thrown fewer than six innings in three of his four starts this year, but thanks to a league-leading 38.5% K%, he ranks second in strikeouts with 32. Through four starts, Gilbert has a 1-1 record, 32 K, 2.38 ERA, and 0.66 WHIP. The 27-year-old is expected to next take the mound against the Blue Jays in Toronto on April 19.

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Logan Gilbert got his 2025 regular season off to a fantastic start by throwing seven innings with eight strikeouts, no walks, two hits, and one earned run. His only blemish came against Tyler Soderstrom, who took him 432 feet to dead center. Gilbert was filling up the strike zone consistently, which allowed him to work deep in the game. He threw 60 of his 83 pitches for strikes in this contest. The Mariners' offense couldn't produce enough offense to ensure him the win, so Gilbert walked away from this outing with a no-decision. Gilbert remains one of the top arms in fantasy baseball, and fantasy managers should be encouraged by what they saw in the opener. He will look to build on his momentum in his next start, which lines up to be next week at home against the Detroit Tigers.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert has been named the team's Opening Day starter for March 27 against the division-rival Athletics, according to The Seattle Times' Ryan Divish. Although Gilbert hasn't looked great in spring training action -- he's allowed four runs while walking five and striking out eight over 5 1/3 innings -- fantasy managers should have him locked into their lineups when he takes the hill against the A's to kick things off in 2025. The 27-year-old former 14th overall pick in 2018 out of Stetson University has been a workhorse for Seattle the last three years and was a first-time All-Star in 2024, when he went 9-12 with a 3.23 ERA (3.27 FIP), a league-best 0.89 WHIP, a career-high 220 strikeouts and only 37 walks in a league-high 208 2/3 innings over his 33 starts. Gilbert is a big reason why the M's are considered to have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. He's a fantasy ace.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Seattle Mariners and starting pitcher Logan Gilbert have settled on a $7.625 million contract to avoid salary arbitration. Gilbert is coming off the best season of his career, posting a 3.23 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP. His 208 2/3 innings of work led the major leagues. He showcased elite command with a 4.6% walk rate. He generated strikeouts at a strong 27.4% K rate and whiffs at a solid 31.7% rate. He also generated a 3.14 xERA, placing him in the 87th percentile among qualified hitters. Gilbert has been one of the most reliable workhorse pitchers in the sport, making at least 32 starts each of the past three seasons. Fantasy managers should draft Gilbert with confidence as he carries one of the highest floors among starting pitchers. In addition, he should significantly improve your WHIP ratio, given his elite control.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert finished off an excellent season with another strong performance on Sunday, tossing 5 scoreless innings in a 6-4 win over the Oakland Athletics. Gilbert had his way with the A's, allowing just one baserunner (a single) while striking out seven. He finishes the season with nine wins, a 3.23 ERA, a league-leading 0.89 WHIP, and 220 strikeouts in 208 IP. The 27-year-old blossomed into an ace this year and should be one of the first pitchers off the board in fantasy drafts in 2025.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert fell to 8-12 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Astros. Gilbert pitched six innings, allowing four runs on five hits (including three home runs) and a walk with six strikeouts. Home runs have been an issue for the 27-year-old in September, as he allowed eight long balls in five starts and 31 1/3 IP. Gilbert's second half was not as good as his first half, but he will presumably finish the season with a solid 3.33 ERA, a 0.91 WHIP, and a 9.44 K/9 rate in 32 starts and 203 IP. Gilbert proved himself to be a high-floor innings eater this season for fantasy managers and will likely see his fantasy stock rise for the 2025 season.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert tossed 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball while striking out nine batters en route to earning his eighth victory of the summer on Thursday against the New York Yankees. This was a nice bounce-back outing for the 27-year-old, as he carried a 4.50 ERA across his previous three outings. Overall through his fourth season in the big leagues, Gilbert sits with a sold 3.24 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and a 36:207 BB:K. He has showcased excellent command with a near-perfect 4.6% walk rate and has generated whiffs at an above-average 30.8% rate. Gilbert is scheduled to close out his 2024 campaign with a divisional matchup against the Houston Astros next week.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert continued to provide strikeouts in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics. Gilbert pitched six innings, allowing four runs on four hits (including a three-run home run) and a walk with nine strikeouts. The 27-year-old has put together great peripheral numbers in 28 starts this season and has a career-high K/9 rate of 9.17. However, his second half of the season has been more pedestrian overall, with a 4.37 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in eight starts and 45 1/3 IP. He will look to maintain his high strikeout totals while keeping runs off the board in his next start, which will be a decent matchup at the Cardinals.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (6-7) got rocked for seven earned runs on Monday night after 2 2/3 innings of work, allowing seven hits with no walks and four strikeouts in a 14-7 defeat at the hands of the Boston Red Sox. The tough start jumped Gilbert's excellent 2.72 ERA to 3.11 on the season. It's the most earned runs the young righty has allowed since giving up eight earned runs back on May 9 to the Minnesota Twins. Despite Monday's implosion, Gilbert is chasing a career year in ERA, strikeouts, and WHIP, but due to the lack of run support, he sits here at the end of July with a losing record. If you're in a "wins" and "losses" league, Gilbert has been slightly disappointing on that front, but there's no denying he's been making it up on all of the peripheral stats. The 27-year-old will have a tougher go of bouncing back when the Mariners take a trip to face the Philadelphia Phillies this weekend.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert continued his strong campaign versus the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. Gilbert threw seven shutout innings while striking out nine batters in the no-decision. The right-hander only allowed two hits and left the game with a two run lead.

Gilbert continues to be a rock-solid fantasy starting pitcher and should remain in starting lineups for his next start, which comes against the Minnesota Twins on Friday.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert dominated the Texas Rangers on Sunday, picking up his fourth win of the season in a 5-0 victory. Gilbert was electric throughout his eight shutout innings, striking out nine while allowing just two hits and walking none. Although he's been working deep into games and providing quality innings lately, he hasn't had a truly dominant performance like this one in a while, so it was nice to see. The 27-year-old now has an elite 2.93 ERA and 0.92 WHIP to go with 93 strikeouts in 98 IP. He should be treated as a top-tier fantasy option.

Gilbert was cruising with no runs allowed and only two hits through the first five innings before the wheels fell off via a two-run home run in the sixth by Luis Robert Jr. and an RBI single in the seventh by Lenyn Sosa. Gilbert has been excellent this season with a 3.19 ERA and will look to continue his great 2024 with a divisional matchup versus the Texas Rangers on Saturday.

The right-hander racked up nine strikeouts while allowing two runs over 6 1/3 innings in the loss. The 26-year-old only gave up four hits on the day while walking one batter. Sadly, Gilbert took a no-decision in this game but will look to get back in the win column during his next start against the Houston Astros.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert picked up his first victory of the season on Tuesday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Gilbert tossed 6 2/3 innings and allowed three hits, one run, one walk and struck out six on the evening. Although it was his first victory of the season, it doesn't speak to how good of a season he has had. Through four starts, the right-hander has produced a shiny 2.33 ERA to go along with 29 strikeouts and just four walks in 27 innings, He has been as productive as one can be. With so many injuries to pitchers early on, managers should hold on tight to Gilbert as he can be a Cy Young candidate if he continues his success. Next up will be a matchup versus the division rival Texas Rangers. Even against a tough lineup like Texas, Gilbert remains a must-start.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert was excellent in his third start of the season on Wednesday, a 6-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. While he did not factor into the decision, the 26-year-old tossed six scoreless frames before allowing a solo blast to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to lead off the seventh inning, then continued to work into the eighth inning before being pulled with two outs in the frame. The young righty allowed six hits and walked just one while striking out eight batters. Despite giving up four earned runs and three homers in his last outing, his BB:K was still good (1:7), and through three starts he's got a sterling BB:K of 3:23. The 23 strikeouts are second-most among pitchers so far, behind only Tyler Glasnow with 29 (Glasnow struck out 14 in his last start alone). Gilbert should be a solid fantasy asset this season and will take a 2.66 ERA along with a 0.84 WHIP into his next start, which is expected to be Tuesday in Seattle versus the Reds and Hunter Greene.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert will look to keep up the good work as part of an excellent pitching matchup on Friday as he takes on the Milwaukee Brewers opposite Brewers righty Freddy Peralta. After a tough spring, Gilbert started his regular season on a much better note, tossing seven innings of one-run ball with one walk against eight strikeouts in a no-decision against the Red Sox on March 30. Getting straightened out after a tough spring is no surprise as Gilbert has been a model of consistency over the last two seasons, combining for a 3.47 ERA across 64 starts in that time, the latter of which tied him for seventh in baseball. With an 18.6% K-BB% for his career, Gilbert makes for a rock-solid fantasy asset, even if the strikeout upside is limited.

The back-to-back blowups have jumped Gilbert's spring ERA to 14.21 along with a 2.05 WHIP across 6 1/3 innings of work. The tough spring results to date don't require the panic button due to Gilbert's track record but the situation is worth monitoring at this time of the year. He posted a 3.73 ERA and ranked fifth with a 4.7% BB% among qualified pitchers a season ago.

The Seattle Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert have settled on a one-year, $4.05 million contract, avoiding arbitration in the process.

Gilbert is coming off another solid season for the Mariners, working to a 3.73 ERA across 32 starts and a career-high 190 2/3 innings of work. The 26-year-old thrives with his control as his 4.7% BB% was the fifth-best mark in baseball among 44 qualified pitchers. As a result, he posted a hearty 19.9% K-BB% despite a solid, yet unspectacular 24.6% K%. He remains a rock-solid fantasy asset ahead of the 2024 season.
