Gilbert was optioned to the Phillies' spring training complex Sunday.
Gilbert logged a 3.24 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and four strikeouts in 8.1 innings across six appearances for the big club. He was unlikely to be used Sunday, so the Phillies opted to summon a bench bat (Buddy Kennedy) for the final game of the regular season.

Phillies' Tyler Gilbert: Moves up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Phillies recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Gilbert will offer the Phillies some length out of their bullpen after Philadelphia needed three relievers plus backup catcher Garrett Stubbs to cover the final 5.2 innings of Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Marlins. Starter Seth Johnson was optioned to Triple-A after starting Sunday and giving up nine earned runs across 2.1 innings in his MLB debut.

Phillies' Tyler Gilbert: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Phillies optioned Gilbert to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Gilbert will be pushed off the big-league roster in order to make room for Ranger Suarez (back), who was reinstated off the injured list. The 30-year-old Gilbert gave up one earned run over two innings during his lone appearance Friday, and he owns a 2.45 ERA through 33 frames with Lehigh Valley.

Rotowire
The Phillies selected Gilbert's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Gilbert was acquired by the Phillies from the Reds back in May. Across his 26 outings with Lehigh Valley this season, he's registered six saves with a 2.45 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 45:6 K:BB across 33 innings. Tyler Phillips was optioned to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Phillies' Tyler Gilbert: Acquired by Phillies
Rotowire
The Phillies acquired Gilbert from the Reds on Tuesday in exchange for cash, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Gilbert notably threw a no-hitter while with the Diamondbacks in 2021, though he has not found much success in the majors since then. He has spent all of 2024 with the Reds' Triple-A affiliate, accumulating a 13.11 ERA and 2.68 WHIP across 11.2 innings, and he will continue to serve as organizational depth as part of the Phillies organization.

Reds' Tyler Gilbert: Cut from big-league camp
Rotowire
The Reds reassigned Gilbert to minor-league camp Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Gilbert joined the Reds for spring training as a non-roster invitee after inking a minor-league deal with the organization over the winter. He could serve as a swingman for Triple-A Louisville after making seven starts among his 30 appearances for Triple-A Reno in the Arizona organization in 2023.

Reds' Tyler Gilbert: Inks NRI deal with Reds
Rotowire
Gilbert signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Gilbert, 30, pitched 17.1 relief innings with the Diamondbacks in 2023, posting a 5.19 ERA but a 19:5 K:BB. The left-hander is capable of starting or relieving and it's not clear which role the Reds have planned for him. In either case, he's likely headed to Triple-A Louisville for the start of the 2024 season.
Gilbert was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Monday and elected free agency, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Gilbert failed to see much action in Arizona during the 2023 campaign, accruing a 5.19 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 19 punchouts across 17.1 innings. He'll test his luck elsewhere after refusing a minor-league assignment.

Rotowire
Gilbert was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Gilbert will head to Reno after he spent over a month with the major-league roster, producing a 5.19 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in 11 appearances since July 8. Nabil Crismatt had his contract selected from Triple-A and will replace him in the major-league bullpen ahead of Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with San Diego.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Back from paternity leave
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks reinstated Gilbert from the paternity list Wednesday.
Gilbert made one three-inning appearance with the D-backs before leaving to spend time with his growing family. He allowed one run across three innings while striking out two batters, and he could possibly be a candidate for the fifth spot in Arizona's rotation to begin the second half. Carlos Vargas was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Goes on paternity leave
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks placed Gilbert on the paternity list Sunday.
Just one day after getting called up Triple-A Reno and tossing three innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen in a 3-2 win over the Pirates, Gilbert will leave the team in anticipation of the birth of his child. Gilbert should be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks coming out of the All-Star break, but it's unclear if Arizona plans to keep him on hand as a bullpen option or potential No. 5 starter.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Selected from Reno
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks selected Gilbert from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Gilbert holds an unimpressive 5.67 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 54 innings in the minors this season, but he will be called upon to bolster the D-backs' pitching staff. It's unclear whether Gilbert will be used out of the bullpen -- as he has been most of this season in Reno -- or join Arizona's rotation, but it would be wise to curb expectations for the 29-year-old lefty either way. Kyle Lewis was optioned to Triple-A to clear a spot on the active roster, and Drey Jameson (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Gilbert (elbow) was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Diamondbacks camp.
Gilbert had surrendered 10 earned runs through only 5.1 innings of work this spring in Cactus League play. It should be noted that the 29-year-old southpaw finished the 2022 season on the 60-day injured list with a left elbow sprain.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Appears healthy for spring
Rotowire
Gilbert (elbow) tossed two innings and gave up two runs on five hits while striking out one in his Cactus League debut Feb. 28 in the Diamondbacks' 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Gilbert closed the 2022 season on the 60-day injured list due to a left elbow sprain, but his return to game action early in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League slate offers encouragement that he's now moved past the health concern. Arizona removed Gilbert from its 40-man roster in December, so he could have a tough time getting another look in the majors unless he dazzles at Triple-A Reno. He struggled mightily over his 44 innings in the Pacific Coast League in 2022, logging a 7.57 ERA and 1.80 WHIP.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Gilbert cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
Gilbert will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The left-hander posted a 5.24 ERA in 34.1 innings in 2022 before an elbow injury ended his season.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks designated Gilbert (elbow) for assignment Thursday.
It's unclear whether Gilbert has made a full recovery from a left elbow strain that ended his 2022 season in early August. Having posted a 5.24 ERA in 34.1 innings before the injury, Gilbert appears unlikely to draw much interest on waivers. Then again, his 2021 no-hitter demonstrated his potential when healthy.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Gilbert (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Gilbert landed on the injured list last week due to a left elbow sprain, and he'll be unavailable until at least late September after being transferred to the 60-day IL. It's not yet clear whether the Diamondbacks expect him to return prior to the end of the regular season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him held out for the remainder of the year since Arizona isn't in playoff contention. Tommy Henry's contract was selected Wednesday, and the promising prospect will take Gilbert's place in the rotation.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Out with elbow sprain
Rotowire
Gilbert was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 27, due to a left elbow sprain.
Gilbert apparently picked up the injury during Tuesday's start against the Giants, when he surrendered two runs over four frames in a no-decision. The left-hander will miss at least a couple turns through the rotation and will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 11.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Goes four innings in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 7-3 victory over San Francisco, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with two strikeouts in four innings.
Making his fourth start of July, Gilbert kept San Francisco quiet aside from a Wilmer Flores two-run home run in the third inning. Despite a reasonable 71 pitches through four frames, manager Torey Lovullo opted to turn to the bullpen with the top of the Giants' lineup due to bat a third time in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has pitched well this month to the tune of a 2.95 ERA across 18.1 innings while surrendering no more than three runs in any start. However, the lefty remains winless. He carries a 5.24 ERA and 1.25 WHIP into his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week against Cleveland.
