Logan Gilbert, a standout pitcher for the Seattle Mariners, has been placed on the injured list due to a flexor strain in his elbow, following a Friday start against the Miami Marlins. The 27-year-old had a promising early season with a 2.37 ERA, positioning him as a vital asset in the Mariners' rotation. His absence, expected to be at least two weeks, could significantly impact the team's pitching depth as they currently navigate multiple injuries across the roster.

In response, the Mariners recalled prospect Logan Evans, a 23-year-old who has shown potential with a 3.86 ERA and a notable strikeout-to-walk ratio in Triple-A. The loss of Gilbert, alongside injuries to other key players, places additional pressure on the Mariners as they aim to maintain their competitive standing in the AL West.
