Mariners Place Logan Gilbert on 15-Day IL Due to Elbow Strain

The Seattle Mariners have placed All-Star pitcher Logan Gilbert on the 15-day injured list following a right elbow flexor strain diagnosed as a Grade 1 strain after an MRI. Gilbert exited his start against the Miami Marlins with forearm tightness after three perfect innings and will not throw for two weeks, after which he will be re-evaluated. To address roster needs, the Mariners recalled left-hander Tayler Saucedo and right-hander Troy Taylor from Triple-A Tacoma and designated right-hander Casey Lawrence for assignment. Gilbert had been off to a strong start this season, posting a 2.37 ERA and 44 strikeouts, and his absence could impact Seattle's pitching rotation in the coming weeks.
