SEATTLE — Seattle Mariners All-Star pitcher Logan Gilbert left his start against the Miami Marlins on Friday after three perfect innings because of right forearm tightness.
Gilbert had three strikeouts through the first three innings, but was replaced by Casey Lawrence to start the fourth. The Mariners said it was because of forearm tightness.
Gilbert, 24, entered the game 1-1 with a 2.37 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 20⅓ innings. He is 42-31 with a 3.55 ERA in five big league seasons, all with the Mariners.
Gilbert was an All-Star last season, finishing 9-12 with a 3.23 ERA.
The Mariners are already down a starter with George Kirby out for more than a month because of right shoulder inflammation. He threw a bullpen session at Seattle’s spring training facility in Arizona on Friday as he works his way back.
