The Stage is Set For Logan Gilbert to Return to Seattle Mariners, But How Much Will He Help?

Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners appear set to return starting pitcher Logan Gilbert to the rotation this week against the Boston Red Sox, though it’s unclear when exactly he’ll get the ball at this time. Gilbert has been out since the end of April with a Grade 1 flexor strain, and he’s made three rehab starts at Triple-A Tacoma, going 0-0 with a 2.79 ERA in 9.2 innings. Seeing Gilbert back on the mound will be a big boon for Seattle’s psyche, but there are obvious questions. ​I ​think ​Logan ​Gilbert ​is ​a ​guy ​who ​will ​throw ​five ​innings, ​strike ​out ​eight, ​walk ​two, ​be ​at ​90 ​pitches, and ​we’re ​still ​going ​to ​have ​to ​go ​to ​the ​bullpen, ​which ​nobody ​wants ​to ​do ​in ​the ​sixth ​inning, ​at ​least ​for ​a ​little ​while, ​​right?
