Joey Gerber Injury News & Updates
Aug 8, 2022
Inks MiLB deal with Yankees
Gerber signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gerber spent the first part of the 2022 campaign with the Mariners but failed to see any action prior to his release due to a forearm strain. He figures to serve as bullpen depth with his new club.
Jun 22, 2022
Heads to open market
The Mariners released Gerber (forearm) on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After being optioned to Triple-A Tacoma coming of spring training, Gerber opened the minor-league season on the affiliate's 7-day injured list with a forearm strain. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 11, but the Mariners designated him for assignment just one week later. Once he's fully healthy, Gerber will presumably look to catch on with another organization on a minor-league deal.
Jun 18, 2022
Designated for assignment
Gerber (forearm) was designated for assignment Saturday.
ANALYSIS
He gave up two hits with zero strikeouts in a rehab appearance in the complex league about a week ago, and it's unclear just how healthy he is, as that was his first work of the season. Gerber will likely pass through waivers and continue with his rehab.

Starts up rehab in Arizona
Gerber (forearm) began a rehab assignment with the Mariners' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate over the weekend and gave up an unearned run on two hits over one inning in his first appearance Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Gerber has resided on Triple-A Tacoma's injured list all season after straining his right forearm in spring training. The 25-year-old still possesses a spot on the Mariners' 40-man roster, so he could be in the mix for a call-up to the big club once he completes his rehab assignment and proves his health at Tacoma.
Mar 24, 2022
Dealing with forearm strain
The Mariners said Thursday that Gerber has been shut down with a mild forearm strain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Gerber was unavailable for the 2021 campaign due to a back injury that required surgery in July, and he felt his forearm issue during a recent live batting practice session. He was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, and the Mariners are hopeful that he'll be able to join the minor-league club sometime after the season opener.
Mar 22, 2022
Dispatched to minors
The Mariners optioned Gerber (back) to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gerber missed the entire 2021 campaign with a back issue that later required surgery in July. It's unclear where he stands in his recovery this spring, as he hadn't pitched in any of the Mariners' Cactus League games prior to getting demoted. Once healthy, Gerber will fill a bullpen role for Tacoma.
Jul 22, 2021
Underwent surgery on back
Gerber recently had surgery for a back issue, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Gerber made his major-league debut in 2020, throwing 15.2 innings for Seattle out of the bullpen. He logged a 4.02 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, though he has not logged any innings in either the majors or minor-leagues this season. Though the exact nature of the injury has not been reported, Divish expects that Gerber will miss the rest of the 2021 campaign.
Mar 27, 2021
Won't break camp in big leagues
Gerber was optioned to the Mariners' alternate training site Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Gerber hasn't had a particularly strong spring, posting a 7.88 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in eight innings of work. He'll likely spend some time in the big-league bullpen at some point this year but won't pitch in a high-leverage role.
Mar 15, 2021
Impressive, save for one hiccup
Gerber, who was credited with the save with a clean ninth inning in a Cactus League win over the Brewers on Sunday, has four scoreless appearances in five trips to the mound thus far this spring.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander was impressive in his first taste of the majors last season despite never having played at the Triple-A level, as he posted a 4.02 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and four holds across 15.2 innings over 17 appearances. Gerber allowed three earned runs on three hits over one inning against Cleveland in his third outing this spring, but he's otherwise blanked the opposition and now have seven strikeouts over five innings following Sunday's pair of punchouts.
Sep 26, 2020
Suffers first loss
Gerber (1-1) took the loss in an extra-inning defeat at the hands of the Athletics on Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits over two-thirds of an inning. He did not issue a walk or record a strikeout.
ANALYSIS
Tasked with closing the door on the Athletics by protecting the Mariners' 1-0 lead upon entering in the 10th, Gerber's outing began with him retiring Marcus Semien and Tommy La Stella, with the latter's flyball out allowing inning-opening baserunner Nate Orf to reach third base. However, Gerber proceeded to allow a game-tying RBI double to Ramon Laureano, which was immediately followed by a Mark Canha game-winning two-run home run. The outing marked the second consecutive with at least one earned run allowed by the 23-year-old following an impressive 10-appearance scoreless streak.
Sep 18, 2020
Notches fifth hold
Gerber was credited with his fifth hold in a loss to the Giants on Thursday, firing a scoreless sixth inning during which he allowed a hit and a walk.
ANALYSIS
Gerber continued his string of strong work in a losing cause, posting his fourth scoreless effort in as many September appearances, and his 10th consecutive such outing overall. The right-hander has lowered his ERA from 8.31 to an impressive 2.77 during the latter stretch, making him an increasingly reliable middle-relief option for manager Scott Servais as the season has unfolded.
Sep 6, 2020
Hits stride out of bullpen
Gerber, who secured his first big-league win against the Rangers on Saturday with a scoreless inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded a strikeout, hasn't been scored upon in his last 5.2 innings (seven appearances).
ANALYSIS
The promising right-hander seems to be increasingly adapting to facing big-league bats after making the jump from Double-A ball this season, even as he's yet to start missing bats at anywhere near the level he did during his time in the minors. Gerber generated K/9s of between 12.2 and 17.7 during the four stops he logged in the Mariners' affiliates the last two seasons, but he's posted just a 2.7 figure in that category thus far in the majors. Nevertheless, Gerber has helped himself by consistently keeping the ball down (40.6 percent groundball rate) and he's posted a 3.74 FIP that's encouragingly very close to his solid 3.60 ERA.
Aug 26, 2020
Extends scoreless streak
Gerber, who fired a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded a strikeout in a win over the Padres on Tuesday, has now put together four straight scoreless appearances.
ANALYSIS
The promising right-hander hasn't looked out of place at all at the big-league level despite never having pitched above Double-A Arkansas prior to this season. Gerber has suffered just one hiccup, which came when he allowed three earned runs over 1.1 innings to the Rockies on Aug. 8. Otherwise, he's given up just one additional run over eight innings across eight appearances, making him an increasingly trustworthy relief option for manager Scott Servais.
Aug 5, 2020
Solid in MLB debut
Gerber, who was recalled from the Mariners' alternate training site in Tacoma earlier in the day, fired a clean sixth inning in his major-league debut during a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie made a strong first impression, needing a quick 13 pitches to get through the trio of Brian Goodwin, Albert Pujols and Tommy La Stella. Gerber's mid-90s fastball and strong showing (1.59 ERA, 12.2 K/9) at Double-A Arkansas last season make him an intriguing prospect to monitor as the season unfolds.
Aug 4, 2020
Joins active roster
Gerber's contract was selected by the Mariners on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gerber has yet to make his major-league debut, but he'll have the chance to do so as he'll take the place of Kendall Graveman (neck) and Zac Grotz on the pitching staff. Gerber was dominant with Double-A Arkansas last season, posting a 1.59 ERA and 30:7 K:BB over 22.2 innings. It's unclear how the Mariners plan to utilize him in the majors, but his most likely role would be as a bullpen arm.
