Working back from a Grade 1 flexor strain that has shelved him since the end of April, Seattle Mariners' All-Star Logan Gilbert made a critical first rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday night.
Gilbert went 1.2 innings before hitting his 45-pitch limit against the Salt Lake Bees. He allowed two hits and one run. He walked two and struck out three. He only threw 24 of his 45 pitches for strikes and was in the 95-96 mph realm, though he did hit as high as 96.8.

According to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, Gilbert feels "pretty optimistic" about his health. He said he anticipates that he'll only need one more rehab start, but the team will ultimately decide that.

Gilbert is getting healthy at the right time for a Mariners team that has lost five of its last seven games. In addition to Gilbert, Bryce Miller is returning from the injured list on Saturday against the Minnesota Twins and George Kirby has just returned from shoulder inflammation, though he's struggled in two starts since coming back.
The 28-year-old Gilbert is out to a solid start for the M's this season, going 1-1 with a 2.37 ERA through his first six starts. He's struck out 44 batters in 30.1 innings. He was an All-Star last season.
The Mariners enter play on Friday at 30-25 and in first place in the American League West, though by just 0.5 games over the Houston Astros. The M's will take on the Minnesota Twins with first pitch coming at 7:10 p.m. PT. Bryan Woo will start on the mound.

Three trade destinations for Nationals All-Star MacKenzie Gore
Since winning the World Series in 2019, the Washington Nationals have been one of the laughing stocks of MLB. The franchise has failed to make the postseason in each of the last five seasons, and at 41-61, that trend doesn't appear to be ending this year. The Nats are considered sellers with the July 31 trade deadline quickly approaching, and starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore is their most coveted asset. The fourth-year starter was a key return in the blockbuster trade that sent Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres in 2022. After two productive seasons that saw him steadily improve, Gore earned his first All-Star nod in 2025. With the Nationals heading nowhere again, though, it seems as though the franchise may capitalize on the 26-year-old's career-best trade value. He has a 3.52 ERA and 144 strikeouts across 117.2 innings in 21 starts. Gore has two more years of arbitration before hitting unrestricted free agency in 2028, so it won't be easy for rival teams to coax the talented lefty out of Washington. But with so many playoff hopefuls struggling with injuries in their rotations, one franchise is bound to pay up. Detroit Tigers After blazing through the first half of the season, the Detroit Tigers have struggled to just one win in their last 12 contests. While the team's ice-cold offense certainly hasn't helped, Detroit's rotation behind Tarik Skubal has left plenty to be desired. The Tigers boast one of baseball's premier farm systems, but with championship aspirations looming, it may be time to cash in on some of their most sought-after prospects. Gore would immediately bolster the Tigers' title hopes while giving them a legitimate second star in their rotation behind the AL Cy Young favorite. Boston Red Sox Another American League team with playoff aspirations, the Boston Red Sox didn't tear through the first half of the regular season in the same manner Detroit did. However, the team found new life after dealing Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants and is in the thick of the AL wild-card race. Pitching has been a strength for the Red Sox this season, but they, too, could use another All-Star arm behind their ace. Garrett Crochet has been a dominant force, while Brayan Bello has experienced a bit of a breakout in recent weeks. With the back end of their rotation struggling to find any semblance of consistency, Gore would be a sensible addition for the Sox. Chicago Cubs A championship contender with a lineup that strikes fear into their opponents every night, the Chicago Cubs' Achilles' heel could be their starting pitching. If they fail to mend the issue, that is. Matthew Boyd has been an unforeseen redemption story with the Cubs. Shota Imanaga has also held his own in his second full season, consistently pitching deep into games. However, the rest of the team's rotation is riddled with injury and inexperience. Cade Horton and Colin Rea are solid back-end starters, but neither inspires confidence for a potential playoff series. Gore has the potential to be a magnificent fit with Chicago and would create a formidable starting trio with Boyd and Imanaga. If there's one National League team to keep an eye on in trade talks for Gore, it's the Cubs.
Ex-Lakers Big Man Ready to Cut NBA Ties With New Contract
It was the Lakers who, eight years ago, gave center Thomas Bryant his first crack at the NBA, putting him into the lineup after acquiring him in a draft trade with the Jazz. Bryant's Lakers career did not last that long--he was gone after one season--but he came back to L.A. in the summer of 2022 after a successful stint with the Wizards. That go-round with the Lakers did not go much better than the first, as Bryant averaged 12.3 points but was traded away in a massive deal at the 2023 deadline that saw the Lakers add Mo Bamba and Davon Reed. The Lakers had two cracks at Bryant but were not able to get his best from him. Bryant has since moved on to Denver, Miami and most recently, Indiana, where he has not been a big-time scorer, but has filled a role nicely in each of his stops. But, unable to drum up a new NBA contract, it looks like Bryant's next role will come overseas. That's according to a report from Telesport, which noted that the Greek team Panathinaikos is in direct contact about getting Bryant signed. From Sportando, which points out that Jonas Valanciunas agreed to, then backed out of a contract with the team: "The American center, born in 1997, played last season with the Indiana Pacers. He has appeared in 333 NBA games throughout his career. It would be a high-level addition for Panathinaikos, who, after the breakdown of negotiations with Valanciunas, are looking for a center to further raise the quality of their frontcourt."
Biggest surprises after the first week of Steelers training camp include a quarterback on the rise and a changeup in the WR room
There are a lot of things that have to be sorted out during the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 training camp. Part of that includes the WR room and what exactly the team has via rookie quarterback Will Howard. Through the first weekend, we have some surprising developments on both fronts... Roman Wilson is taking lots of outside reps When the Steelers are in 11 personnel (one back and one tight end on the field) their three WRs have been relatively predictable: DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson. And on the first day, that was the order with Metcalf and Austin on the outside and Wilson in the slot. But the Steelers spent a good portion of the weekend playing Wilson outside and moving Austin inside. To this point, Robert Woods hasn't been much of a factor at all, and while Wilson is playing a lot outside, Calvin Austin III has been the one making plays from wherever he aligns. Now we obviously can't draw any firm conclusions from four days of unpadded practice, but it's clear that the Steelers are giving Roman Wilson every opportunity to prove he's the team's #2 WR, even if Calvin Austin III is the one who holds the title. Will Howard already making waves? After starting practice in Latrobe as the third team quarterback, Howard worked his way into first team reps with the Steelers in 7v7 on Sunday. He received one of the biggest pops from the crowd of anyone on Saturday, and what few reps he's been afforded, he has run with them. I fully expected Will Howard to surpass Skylar Thompson on the depth chart by the end of camp, but to see him making such a big jump after just days of practice is very encouraging for the rookie. Preseason will be huge for Howard.
Josh Hart Reacts To New York Knicks Signing 11-Year NBA Veteran
Jordan Clarkson is coming off a year where he averaged 16.2 points per contest for the Utah Jazz. Over the offseason, the New York Knicks made a big addition to their bench by signing Clarkson. Recently, Josh Hart spoke about the addition of Clarkson (via Roommates Show). Hart: "Great dude. Gonna fit right into the culture that we have... Someone that can create his own shot, can break down the defense and we needed that at times last year. It'll be a great addition... Also, as a locker room guy." Hart and Clarkson were teammates for one season on the Los Angeles Lakers. Via @LakersLead: "Lakers 2018 Roster Starters PG Lonzo Ball SG Kent Caldwell-Pope SF Brandon Ingram PF Kyle Kuzma C Brook Lopez Bench PG Jordan Clarkson SG Alex Caruso SF Josh Hart PF Larry Nance Jr. C Ivica Zubac" Clarkson has played 11 total seasons for the Jazz, Cavs and Lakers. The 2021 6th Man of The Year was with the Cavs when they reached the 2018 NBA Finals. Via The Utah Jazz: "✔️ Sixth Man of the Year ✔️ Broke the Triple-Double drought ✔️ All-Star Skills Challenge Champ ✔️ All-Time Fan Favorite Sixx, 00, The Flame, JC— but there’s only one Jordan Clarkson. Thank you for the countless memories, buckets and ‘yeah, a lot’ of Jazz games. All love for 00, always ️ Once a Jazzman " The Knicks are coming off a season where they reached the 2025 Eastern Conference finals.
