Chicago White Sox left-handed pitcher Tyler Gilbert (knee) was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a sprained MCL in his left knee. In a corresponding move, the White Sox have promoted left-handed pitcher Jared Shuster from Triple-A Charlotte. Through 13 games this season, Gilbert has been deployed both as an opener and out of the bullpen. In 13 innings of work, the southpaw has struck out 16 batters and posted a 4.85 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP. However, under the hood, Gilbert has generated an impressive 3.62 xERA and a strong .206 xBA, which are both well above the average marks. While Gilbert remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Shuster to serve in a similar middle-relief role in the bullpen. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Jordan Leasure and Cam Booser to see most of the high-leverage opportunities.
Chicago White Sox left-hander Tyler Gilbert will serve as the team's opener for Tuesday's contest against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to MLB.com's Scott Merkin. This will be Gilbert's third straight appearance in the opener role for the White Sox, with the 31-year-old southpaw throwing two shutout innings with a walk and three strikeouts his last two times out, both against the Athletics. Gilbert hasn't been good outside of his two opening assignments, surrendering five earned runs on five hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out eight in 5 2/3 relief innings. Right-hander Bryse Wilson is expected to be Chicago's bulk reliever on Tuesday against Milwaukee. Neither Gilbert, nor Wilson should be considered by those looking for sleeper streamers this week.
The Chicago White Sox reinstated left-hander Tyler Gilbert (knee) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned left-hander Brandon Eisert to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Gilbert made two minor-league rehab appearances at Charlotte last week before the White Sox felt he was ready to join their big-league bullpen. The 31-year-old veteran southpaw won't be on the fantasy radar as he operates in a middle-relief role for the Pale Hose. He had a 3.24 ERA (4.85 FIP) and 1.44 WHIP with four strikeouts and two walks in six relief appearances over 8 1/3 innings for the Philadelphia Phillies in the majors in 2024. Over the course of his four-year big-league career (three with the Arizona Diamondbacks), Gilbert has posted a 4.23 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 68:30 K:BB in an even 100 innings over 34 outings (13 starts).
The Chicago White Sox acquired left-hander Tyler Gilbert from the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league right-hander Aaron Combs. Gilbert had been designated for assignment by the Phillies on Dec. 22. Gilbert will head to the American League in 2025 after appearing only six times out of the Phillies' bullpen in 2024. In his 8 1/3 innings pitched, he allowed three earned runs on 10 hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out four. The 31-year-old former sixth-round selection by the Phillies in 2015 out of the University of Southern California (USC) debuted in the bigs with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2021 and holds a career 4.23 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 100 innings over 34 outings (13 starts) in his four seasons. Gilbert will give the rebuilding White Sox a swing arm in 2025, but he won't be on the fantasy radar at all.
The Cincinnati Reds have signed left-hander Tyler Gilbert to a minor-league deal with an invite to big-league spring training. The 30-year-old appeared with the Arizona Diamondbacks in each of the last two seasons, working to a combined 4.32 ERA, 9.6% K-BB%, and 36.9% ground-ball rate in that time. Thirteen of his 28 appearances in the majors have been starts as he owns a 4.39 ERA across 67 2/3 innings as a starter and a 4.13 ERA across 24 frames out of the bullpen. However, all 11 of his MLB appearances last season came as a reliever as he posted a 5.19 ERA in 17 1/3 in the majors to pair with a 5.30 ERA across 30 outings (seven starts) with Triple-A Reno.
The Arizona Diamondbacks reinstated left-hander Tyler Gilbert from the paternity list on Wednesday and optioned right-hander Carlos Vargas to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Gilbert has only thrown three innings out of Arizona's bullpen at the major-league level so far in 2023, and he's allowed one earned run on two hits while walking one and striking out two. The 29-year-old southpaw wasn't quite as good in 21 outings (five starts) for Reno, posting a 5.67 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 19 walks and 65 innings in 54 innings pitched. There's a chance that Gilbert could see a start or two in the D-backs' starting rotation early in the second half of the season, but he'll be a desperation streaming option with a low ceiling if he does.
Tyler Gilbert Will Start Tuesday Against The Giants
Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Tyler Gilbert will be called up to start Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He has been solid in his last three starts in the minors, yielding three runs or less in his previous four starts. The 28-year-old has struggled for the Diamondbacks this season, posting a 7.88 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 14:6 K: BB across 16 innings in 2022. Fantasy managers should avoid using Gilbert as a streamer in all league formats for Tuesday's main slate.
Tyler Gilbert To Start For Diamondbacks On Tuesday
The Arizona Diamondbacks will be calling up starting pitcher Tyler Gilbert from Triple-A Reno and he will be the team's starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 28-year-old has had a rough year on the mound thus far. Over three appearances (two starts) for the Diamondbacks in 2021, he's gone 0-2 with a 5.02 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. Meanwhile, he's posted a 10.65 ERA and a 2.07 WHIP over seven starts at Triple-A.
Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Tyler Gilbert is being called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday to start the first game of a doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gilbert will likely serve as the 27th man for the doubleheader and will probably be sent back to Reno after the start. In his two major league outings this year (one start), he's allowed two earned runs while walking two and striking out six in 8 2/3 innings. In 14 2/3 frames at Reno, the southpaw has posted an 11.60 ERA and 1.90 WHIP while walking six and fanning five over four starts. Fantasy managers should look to avoid Gilbert against the potent Dodgers offense in the first game of the twin bill Tuesday.
The Arizona Diamondbacks recalled pitcher Tyler Gilbert from Triple-A Reno on Monday. Arizona designated Oliver Perez for assignment in a corresponding move. Gilbert was solid in his spot start Tuesday against the Washington Nationals despite taking the loss. The 28-year-old allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk while striking out three across 5 2/3 innings. Gilbert isn't scheduled to start this week, and it's unclear what his role will be now that he's back in the big leagues. The southpaw can be left on the waiver wire in most formats.
