Tyler Gilbert #77 of the Cincinnati Reds

The Phillies have acquired left-handed pitcher Tyler Gilbert from the Reds, according to a report by Matt Gelb of The Athletic on X. Gelb’s use of the term “purchased” suggests that the Reds will receive cash considerations in exchange. Gilbert, who was not on the Reds’ 40-man roster, will therefore not require a roster spot with the Phillies.

At 30 years old, Gilbert signed a minor league deal with the Reds in the offseason. He has made seven appearances, including three starts, pitching a total of 11 2/3 innings. Despite a high earned run average of 13.11 in this limited sample, other metrics paint a more positive picture.

Gilbert has experienced exceptionally unlucky outcomes with a .545 batting average on balls in play and a 43.3% strand rate, both of which are unsustainable. His strikeout rate of 20.6% and walk rate of 9.5% are close to league average, and he has not allowed a home run this season, resulting in a Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) of 2.94 for the year so far. Despite this, the Reds appear willing to part ways and accept cash from the Phillies, who are taking a chance on him.

With 91 2/3 innings of major league experience, Gilbert served as a swingman for the Diamondbacks over the past three seasons, including a memorable no-hitter in his first career start. His career ERA stands at 4.32, with a strikeout rate of 17.1% and a walk rate of 7.5%. He was outrighted by the Diamondbacks at the end of last season, leading to his minor league deal with the Reds.

Although the Phillies currently have sufficient starting pitching depth, including recent returnee Taijuan Walker and standout performer Spencer Turnbull, depth can quickly diminish. Therefore, adding Gilbert provides insurance for potential future needs. Additionally, the Phillies may explore utilizing Gilbert in relief to maximize his potential. If Gilbert joins the Phillies’ roster, he still has one option year remaining and less than two years of MLB service time.
