Austin Gomber - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Scratched from rehab start Gomber was scratched from his scheduled rehab start at Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday due to left shoulder inflammation, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gomber began the season on the 15-day IL due to left shoulder soreness, so the fact that he's now dealing with inflammation in that area is a bit concerning. He'll presumably be re-evaluated to see if he suffered any structural damage after making his first rehab outing Friday, and it now seems unlikely that the 31-year-old southpaw will be able to return to Colorado after a minimum-length stay on the injured list.

Strikes out five in rehab start Gomber (shoulder) struck out five batters and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks over four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Impact While tending to a sore left shoulder in spring training, Gomber didn't have enough time to get fully stretched out in advance of the Rockies' season opener and was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, but he was cleared to take the hill for Colorado's Triple-A affiliate on Opening Day. He tossed 66 pitches (39 strikes) in the rehab start, so he may need just one more tune-up outing with the Triple-A club Wednesday before getting the green light to return from the IL next week.

Throws 3.2 innings Gomber (shoulder) completed 3.2 innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits, in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Impact Gomber made his first official Cactus League appearance since Feb. 25 as he continues to return from a sore shoulder. He's likely to begin the season on the injured list as he continues to build up his pitch count, but Saturday's outing was a positive indication that he will be able to return at some point in mid-April.

Set for Saturday start Gomber (shoulder) will start Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Gomber has been sidelined by a sore shoulder since early March, and the team announced Thursday that he will begin the season on the injured list. He'll reportedly be ready for his debut by mid-April, and the fact that he'll take the mound Saturday supports a quick return to action.

Poised to open season on IL Gomber (shoulder) will begin the season on the 15-day injured list, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Impact Gomber is recovering well from left shoulder soreness, but he's made just one appearance this spring and that was back on Feb. 25. The left-hander is expected to be ready to rejoin the Rockies' rotation early on in the season. Colorado will operation with a four-man rotation until Gomber is ready.

Bouncing back from sore shoulder Gomber was scratched from his scheduled Cactus League start Sunday against the Mariners due to left shoulder soreness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The southpaw said that his arm speed isn't at the level he wants it to be at this time of the spring, but he didn't express any major concern about the shoulder issue preventing him from being ready for Opening Day. Assuming he misses just one turn through the spring rotation, Gomber should have plenty of time to ramp up and complete his throwing progression before the March 28 season opener versus the Rays.

Avoids arbitration with Colorado The Rockies and Gomber avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.35 million contract Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gomber will more than double his salary from 2024 in what was his third year of arbitration eligibility. The left-hander put up a 4.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 116:38 K:BB over a career-high 165 innings for the Rockies in 2024 and will be part of their rotation again in 2025.

Drops to 5-12 Gomber (5-12) took the loss against St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over five innings.

Impact Gomber kept the ball in the park after serving up three homers in his previous outing, but he was still far less than sharp. The veteran left-hander has given up at least four runs in three of his past six starts and is 1-4 over that span. Assuming Wednesday was his final start of the season, Gomber will finish the 2024 campaign with an uninspiring 4.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 116:38 K:BB over 165 innings.

Impact Three of the hits off Gomber left the yard, including two by Corbin Carroll, as the southpaw stumbled through his shortest outing of the season. Gomber had been on a roll, working at least six innings in six straight trips to the mound with a 3.00 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB over 39 innings, but that hot streak came to crashing halt in Coors Field. He's scheduled to make one more start this year, facing the Cardinals at home next week.

Third straight quality start Gomber came away with a no-decision in Friday's 9-5 win over the Cubs, allowing two runs on nine hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

Impact The southpaw produced his third straight quality start and 12th of the season, tying the career high he set in 2023, but Gomber saw his sixth win of the year slip away when the Colorado bullpen coughed up the lead in the top of the eighth inning. The 30-year-old has been sharp since the beginning of August, delivering six QS in eight trips to the mound while posting a 3.67 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB through 49 innings. Gomber will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Diamondbacks.

Back from paternity list Gomber was reinstated from the paternity list Friday. He'll start Friday's game against the Cubs.

Impact As expected, Gomber will rejoin the team to make the start Friday. The left-hander has been impressive across his last five starts, logging a 3.00 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP with a 23:7 K:BB across 33 innings. Tanner Gordon was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Lands on paternity list The Rockies placed Gomber on the paternity list Tuesday.

Impact The left-hander was expected to start in the three-games series at Detroit that begins Tuesday, but he'll instead step away from the team for a few days to be with his growing family. Gomber could be back with the team -- and in the rotation -- for Friday's game versus the Cubs.

Goes eight innings in win Gomber (5-10) earned the win over Atlanta on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits over eight innings while striking out six.

Impact Gomber ran into trouble in the opening frame when he surrendered hits to three of the first batters he faced, leading to one run coming home for Atlanta. However, the lefty would only allow two more hits from that point on while going a full eight innings for only the second time this season. Gomber produced five 1-2-3 innings on the night and logged his highest strikeout total since Aug. 2 against the Padres. He's now gone six or more frames in five-consecutive starts, going 2-2 over that stretch while posting a 23:7 K:BB.
