Gilbert (7-5) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out seven over 7.1 scoreless innings.
Gilbert allowed a softly hit single in the fifth inning but was otherwise untouchable, generating a whopping 18 swinging strikes on 91 pitches. It marked the deepest the 29-year-old has worked into a game this season, and he's now logged four quality starts in his past five outings. He owns a 3.19 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 114:22 K:BB across 107.1 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Rays next weekend in his final start before the All-Star break.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: No longer being piggybacked
Rotowire
Gilbert is no longer set to be piggybacked by Emerson Hancock in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays and will instead be in line for a traditional start, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
For the second weekend in a row, the Mariners have made a late decision to scrap the Gilbert/Hancock piggyback tandem in order to let both pitchers make standalone starts. Since surrendering a season-high seven starts in a loss to the Padres on Mariners, Gilbert has submitted a 2.08 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 50:10 K:BB in 43.1 innings over his last seven starts.
Gilbert will be piggybacked by Emerson Hancock during the former's start against Toronto on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Gilbert and Hancock were originally supposed to work together in a piggyback game last weekend, but a last-minute change allowed the two pitchers to both make their own traditional starts. Now back in a piggyback plan, Gilbert could be limited to roughly five innings Saturday before Hancock steps in to potentially close out the game.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Goes seven innings in loss
Rotowire
Gilbert (6-5) allowed four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings during a loss against Cleveland on Saturday.
All of the runs Gilbert allowed came over the fourth and fifth innings, when the Guardians racked up six of their seven hits against him. The right-hander ultimately retired the final seven batters he faced, but the earlier damage was enough to send him to his first loss since May 16. The four runs Gilbert surrendered were also his most since that May 16 outing versus San Diego. He came into Saturday on a dominant roll, pitching to a 1.49 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 43:10 K:BB over his previous six appearances covering 36.1 frames. Gilbert will look to get back into the win column his next time out, which lines up to be a home matchup against Toronto.

Gilbert will take a 3.29 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 93 innings (16 starts) into his next outing, which is lined up for next weekend against the Guardians.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Strikes out 10 in win
Rotowire
Gilbert (5-4) allowed one run on two hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out 10 over seven innings to earn the win over the Orioles on Tuesday.
Gilbert had a shaky first inning, in which he allowed the run and three baserunners. He retired 16 in a row in the middle of his start before plunking Pete Alonso in the seventh inning. After some iffy work early in the season, Gilbert is 3-0 with just five runs allowed across 30 innings over his last five starts. Overall, he has a 3.43 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 92:20 K:BB through 86.2 innings over 15 starts. Gilbert is projected for a favorable home matchup against the Red Sox over the weekend since the Mariners are opting to piggyback Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo on Friday.
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles. He struck out five.
The right-hander produced his fifth quality start of the season on 105 pitches (61 strikes), and Gilbert was headed for his fifth win until Jose Ferrer blew the save in the ninth inning. Gilbert has given up one run or fewer in four of his last six outings, posting a 2.78 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB in 35.2 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week in a rematch with the O's.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Strikes out eight in win
Rotowire
Gilbert (4-4) allowed three runs on four hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out eight over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Mets on Tuesday.
Gilbert threw 66 of 99 pitches for strikes, though he also served up a pair of home runs to Carson Benge, which accounted for all three runs on his line. Gilbert has won his last two starts, and he's given up a total of 10 runs over his last 29.2 innings. The veteran right-hander is now at a 3.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 77:17 K:BB through 73.2 innings across 13 starts. Gilbert's on track for a career-worst year when it comes to allowing homers -- he's already given up 13 this season -- but he's otherwise remained a reliable arm for the Mariners. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Orioles.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Fans six in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Royals, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out six across 5.2 scoreless innings.
Gilbert delivered a big bounce-back performance after allowing seven runs and three homers over 6.2 frames against the Padres in his previous start May 16. Gilbert's been plagued by inconsistency so far this season. Even though he's allowed one or zero runs in three of his last five starts, he's given up 11 runs (and seven homers) in the other two outings during that stretch. All things considered, he's a better pitcher than his 3.68 ERA over those five starts would indicate. He's scheduled to make his next start at home against the A's.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Nearly flawless Sunday
Rotowire
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in six innings. He struck out nine.
The 29-year-old right-hander was phenomenal Sunday, giving up a lone double in the first inning and proceeding to pitch perfectly the rest of the way. It was easily Gilbert's finest showing of the campaign so far, as he fanned a season-high nine and posted his first scoreless start of 2026. Gilbert will try to build on Sunday's effort his next time out against the Padres next weekend, and he has a 3.78 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB over 50 innings overall this season.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Serves up four homers in victory
Rotowire
Gilbert (2-3) earned the win over Atlanta on Monday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.
Gilbert and JR Ritchie were locked in a pitchers' duel through five frames, with Atlanta holding a 1-0 lead heading into the sixth. Gilbert got hit hard in that inning, giving up a trio of solo homers to fall behind 4-0. However, Seattle stormed back with five runs in the bottom of the frame, not only rescuing Gilbert from defeat but ultimately handing him the victory. This was far from the right-hander's best outing -- the four homers he allowed altogether were as many as he had served up over his first seven starts combined, but it certainly helped his final line that all the long balls were of the solo variety. Gilbert will take a mediocre 4.30 season ERA into his next start, which is slated to be a road tilt against the White Sox.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Sharp against Minnesota
Rotowire
Gilbert did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Twins, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.
Gilbert worked around several threats early, stranding multiple runners and keeping Minnesota off the board through four innings. The right-hander's only damage came in the fifth, when Byron Buxton led off the frame with a solo homer. Despite limiting the damage Tuesday, Gilbert was stuck with a no-decision as Seattle's offense managed just one run of support. He now owns a 4.03 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and a 39:8 K:BB across 38 innings and will face a tough test in his next scheduled start against an Atlanta lineup that has scored 72 runs over its last 12 games.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Short outing vs. A's
Rotowire
Gilbert did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the A's, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out three.
While Gilbert was ultimately able to limit the damage after giving up two runs in the first inning, the right-hander needed 89 pitches to record just 12 outs, as he failed to complete five frames for the first time this year. Through six starts this season, Gilbert sports a 4.36 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 33 innings. He'll look to turn things around in his next outing, tentatively lined up for next week in Minnesota.

Rotowire
Gilbert (1-2) earned the win against the Astros on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with seven strikeouts across seven innings.
Gilbert had a 5.40 ERA through his first three starts of the season but was able to get in the win column with a gem Sunday.

Gilbert needed just 85 pitches to breeze through seven frames and has lowered his ERA to 4.18 with a 25:4 K:BB across 23.2 innings. Gilbert is in line to next take the mound Friday at home against the Rangers.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Takes second loss
Rotowire
Gilbert (0-2) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out five.
Gilbert was largely effective, though a pair of runs allowed in his first and final frames saddled him with the loss as the Mariners' offense was silenced. While Monday wasn't his sharpest outing, it marked a step in the right direction after the right-hander surrendered eight runs across 10.2 innings in his first two starts of the season. Gilbert is lined up to face the division-rival Astros in his next outing Sunday.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Yields five runs in loss
Rotowire
Gilbert (0-1) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.
Gilbert retired the first two batters he faced Tuesday, but three straight Yankees hits resulted in a pair of first-inning runs. The right-hander proceeded through the next four frames without falling further behind, but he imploded in the sixth, allowing four of the five batters he faced in that inning to reach base (on two doubles, a single and a walk) before being pulled. Overall, Gilbert threw just 54 of 95 pitches for strikes, and his three walks tied the most he recorded in any game last season. Gilbert did rack up 14 whiffs and now has 13 punchouts across 10.2 innings on the campaign, but he's also carrying a 6.75 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through two starts.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert allowed three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Thursday.
Gilbert gave up a solo homer to the second batter he faced in the game (Chase DeLauter), but he was able to get through four frames with only that tally on his line. However, he served up two more runs in the fifth inning and was pulled after retiring the only batter he faced in the sixth. Gilbert didn't get the win, but he did show good strikeout stuff with 12 whiffs and seven punchouts. The right-hander posted a career-best 11.9 K/9 during the 2025 regular season and could be among the AL's strikeout leaders if he's able to stay healthy throughout the current campaign.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Named Opening Day starter
Rotowire
Gilbert will start the Mariners' March 26 season opener versus the Guardians in Seattle, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Gilbert is receiving his second consecutive Opening Day nod after he notched a 3.44 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 173:31 K:BB during the 2025 regular season. He started off 2025 hot with a 2.37 ERA across his first six starts but left his sixth start early due to a right elbow flexor strain that kept him out over a month. The 2024 All-Star struggled in some starts after returning in mid-June with a 4.55 ERA between then and Aug. 18. The righty was able to lock in down the stretch with a 2.52 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across his final seven regular-season starts in 2025.
