White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Serving as opener Saturday
Rotowire
Gilbert will serve as Chicago's opening pitcher in Saturday's game against the Nationals, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Gilbert will draw his second opening assignment of the month and fifth of the season during the White Sox's penultimate game of 2025. The 31-year-old has given up just one earned run while striking out 13 batters over 8.1 innings this month, and he'll likely remain in the game for an inning or two before handing the ball over to Sean Burke, who is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Nabs one-out save
Rotowire
Gilbert struck out in one-third of an inning for the save Wednesday against the Rays.
It's worth noting Jordan Leasure worked the seventh inning Wednesday, which created the opportunity for Gilbert to tally the first save of his career. It's possible the last-place White Sox will continue to mix and match their ninth-inning options, which would further make this a situation to avoid for most fantasy managers. Through 43 innings this season, Gilbert has a 4.40 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB.

White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Loses bullpen spot
Rotowire

White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Rejoins big-league bullpen
Rotowire
The White Sox reinstated Gilbert (knee) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Chicago sent left-hander Brandon Eisert to Triple-A Charlotte to make room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Gilbert.

Just one day after getting called up Triple-A Reno and tossing three innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen in a 3-2 win over the Pirates, Gilbert will leave the team in anticipation of the birth of his child. Gilbert should be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks coming out of the All-Star break, but it's unclear if Arizona plans to keep him on hand as a bullpen option or potential No. 5 starter.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Appears healthy for spring
Rotowire
Gilbert (elbow) tossed two innings and gave up two runs on five hits while striking out one in his Cactus League debut Feb. 28 in the Diamondbacks' 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Gilbert closed the 2022 season on the 60-day injured list due to a left elbow sprain, but his return to game action early in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League slate offers encouragement that he's now moved past the health concern. Arizona removed Gilbert from its 40-man roster in December, so he could have a tough time getting another look in the majors unless he dazzles at Triple-A Reno. He struggled mightily over his 44 innings in the Pacific Coast League in 2022, logging a 7.57 ERA and 1.80 WHIP.
