Gilbert

Not to be confused with Tyler Phillips. Gilbert might only be up until the Phillies again need a fifth starter. He made one appearance for the club last month, allowing one run in two innings.

Johnson struggled in his MLB debut on Sunday, allowing nine runs on eight hits over 2 1/3 innings against the Marlins. That’s a far cry from the 2.33 ERA and 83:42 K:BB ratio he posted over his 23 appearances in the minors this season, but the 25-year-old will likely remain in the minors for the rest of the year and hope for another chance in 2025. Tyler Gilbert was called up in a corresponding move.

Gilbert was added to Philadelphia’s bullpen last weekend and only wound up making one relief appearance before being shipped back to the minors.

Gilbert will always be known for tossing a no-hitter for the Diamondbacks in his first career start, but he’s made 28 appearances (13 starts) in the big leagues since 2021. The 30-year-old southpaw has compiled a respectable 4.82 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 61/12 K/BB ratio across 46 2/3 innings (34 appearances, three starts) this season at the Triple-A level. He’ll operate in long relief for the Phillies for the next couple days.

Gilbert heads to the Phillies as emergency organizational pitching depth at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 30-year-old lefty signed a minor league contract with the Reds back in mid-January. He threw a no-hitter in his first-ever start for Arizona back on August 14, 2021.

Gilbert has compiled a pedestrian 4.32 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 64/28 K/BB ratio across 91 1/3 innings (28 appearances, 13 starts) for the Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old southpaw memorably tossed a no-hitter back on August 14, 2021 in his first career start. He’s merely extra organizational relief depth at this juncture of his career.

The 29-year-old right-hander was sent outright to Triple-A Reno on Monday, but he refused the assignment and will look for work in the open market instead. Gilbert registered a 5.19 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 19/5 K/BB ratio in 17 1/3 innings with the big league club during the 2023 campaign.

The 29-year-old southpaw has struggled in 11 appearances with the Diamondbacks this season — posting a 5.19 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 19/5 K/BB ratio across 17 1/3 innings. He’ll work on refining his craft there until he’s called upon again.

Gilbert came on after starter Merrill Kelly worked the first five innings, and all he did was rack up five strikeouts while allowing just one walk over his two shutout frames. The 29-year-old southpaw has done a nice job in his limited action with the D’Backs — posting a 3.27 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 10/4 K/BB ratio across 11 innings.

Gilbert will be available for Friday’s second-half opener against the Blue Jays in Toronto after landing on the paternity leave list earlier this week. The 29-year-old southpaw has made one relief appearance this season in the big leagues.
