BREAKING NEWS: GM Hollander provides Gilbert, Miller, Raley, and other injury updates.

Before Seattle’s series opening against Cleveland, Mariners general manager Justin Hollander gave a comprehensive organizational injury update, saying, “If he comes out of it good, I would anticipate his next start being in the big leagues.”

Additionally, youngster Logan Evans, who has been used as an injury fill-in in Seattle’s rotation, was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma a few hours later, indicating that Gilbert will in fact be activated in the days ahead.

Gilbert cleared five innings with six strikeouts and surrendered just one hit and one walk on Tuesday for Tacoma, stretching out to 72 pitches in his third Minor League rehab outing.

“We just want to see that he feels good after the bullpen,” Hollander said, “that he bounced back after what was his longest outing with more ups and downs than he had previously.”

Gilbert, who has been on the IL with a right elbow flexor strain since April 26, is expected to remain on the six-day routine that he’s operated on since beginning the rehab assignment — which would line up for Monday against the Red Sox, if he’s indeed activated

RHP Bryce Miller (inflammation of the right elbow)
After receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection to treat the bone spur in the back of his pitching elbow, Miller is anticipated to be out for at least four to six weeks, during which time he will not be allowed to throw at all. On Tuesday, he was sent on the IL for the second time, retroactive to June 7.

During his initial period on the IL last month, Miller hinted that he would eventually require surgery to remove the spur. However, following a consultation with renowned orthopedist Dr. Keith Meister, surgery is not being contemplated at this time.

Hollander remarked, “He said everything felt great.” “However, if this is your first time swinging at live pitching, there is some timing that is necessary.”

Raley sustained the injury on a swing during early batting practice, and he has been out since April 30 (retroactive to April 28).

RF Victor Robles (dislocated left shoulder)
Robles came to Seattle to complete his rehabilitation after rejoining the club this week in Arizona. His comeback is still scheduled for September by the Mariners.

F Jonny Farmelo (stress reaction in ribs) Seattle’s No. 6 prospect by MLB Pipeline recently suffered his injury on a swing and has been sidelined since being pinch-hit for at High-A Everett on May 23. According to Hollander, the reliever will likely return in two to three weeks after starting to throw again. RHP Collin Snider (right forearm flexor strain) has been out since June 4.
