Picks up second win Gilbreath (2-1) allowed a walk and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Friday versus Washington.

Impact Gilbreath loaded the bases with a walk and allowed an inherited runner from Jhoulys Chacin to score on a fielder's choice before ending the eighth inning. In the ninth, Colorado retook the lead, putting Gilbreath in line for his second win of the year. The southpaw has not been charged with a run in his last 14.2 innings, allowing five hits and seven walks while ringing up 14 strikeouts in that span. He has a 3.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 36:20 K:BB in 35.2 innings overall while adding a save and three holds.

Extends scoreless streak Gilbreath worked around a walk to record the final two outs of the seventh inning in his relief appearance Wednesday in the Rockies' 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Impact The scoreless appearance was Gilbreath's 14th in a row, and the rookie lefty has struck out 13 while allowing only 11 baserunners over that 14-inning stretch. Carlos Estevez appears to have settled in as the Rockies' new closer in place of the deposed Daniel Bard, but Gilbreath looks like he'll at least factor more prominently into the setup mix in light of his recent success.

Tosses one inning as opener Gilbreath started Wednesday's game against the Angels, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over an inning.

Impact Gilbreath operated as an opener Wednesday after the Rockies were forced to go with a bullpen game. He faced men on first and second with two outs and allowed Jose Iglesias to single home Shohei Ohtani before escaping with no further damage done against him. The 25-year-old righty broke a streak of four straight scoreless outings and now owns a 6.41 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 19:13 K:BB over 19.2 innings.

Starting bullpen game Gilbreath will start Wednesday's game against the Angels, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Impact Scheduled starter Chi Chi Gonzalez (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list, so Gilbreath will be called upon to start a bullpen game. The 25-year-old has a 6.27 ERA over 18.2 innings this season and figures to cover a frame or two versus the Halos.

JULY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Earns rare save Gilbreath struck out a batter in a perfect 10th inning Friday to record the save against the Dodgers.

Impact Gilbreath earned the first save of his young career after Daniel Bard blew the save chance in the ninth and the Rockies took the lead in extras. The 25-year-old had a quick 1-2-3 outing and struck out Zach McKinstry in the process. He now owns a 6.62 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and an 18:11 K:BB over 17.2 innings and likely won't be considered for many saves in the future with such staggering numbers.

JULY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Charged with loss in extra innings Gilbreath (0-1) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk in a third of an inning to take the loss against the Brewers on Friday.

Impact The southpaw recorded the final out of the 10th inning but issued a single and a walk to load the bases. Following his removal, Keston Hiura hit a sacrifice fly off Yency Almonte to end the game. Gilbreath has made six relief appearances since he was recalled by Colorado, and he hasn't allowed any earned runs in five innings during that time.

Impact Gilbreath got an inning of work in during his brief stint with the big club, allowing one run on one hit and a walk across an inning of work. He figures to be a candidate to rejoin the Rockies at some point later this summer.

Called up as 27th man Gilbreath was recalled as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

Impact The Rockies are scheduled to play their second doubleheader in the last three days, so Gilbreath will provide bullpen depth once again. He didn't take the mound in Thursday's twin bill and will likely return to the minors following Saturday's doubleheader.

MAY 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returned to Triple-A Gilbreath was returned to Triple-A Albuquerque after Thursday's doubleheader.

Impact Gilbreath served as the 27th man for the team's contests against the Mets, though he did not take the mound. He's already thrown 7.1 innings for the Rockies this season, so he is a top candidate to be recalled when the team is in need of bullpen depth once again.

MAY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled as 27th man Gilbreath was recalled by the Rockies as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Gilbreath was sent down after Monday's game against the Mets, but he'll return to the major-league bullpen several days later. He should provide depth as a reliever but will likely return to the minors after Thursday's twin bill.

MAY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors Gilbreath was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque following Monday's game against the Mets.

MAY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Quick return to majors Gilbreath was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact The 25-year-old was demoted to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll quickly rejoin the Rockies with Ben Bowden (shoulder) landing on the injured list. Gilbreath has surrendered six runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 5.1 innings.

MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The 25-year-old has now completed his second stint in the majors this season and has allowed six runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 5.1 innings. Gilbreath worked as a starter the last time he was in the minors in 2019, and it's unclear if he'll return to that role or continue working out of the bullpen.

MAY 2, 2021 • MLB.COM

Earns another callup Gilbreath was recalled by the Rockies on Saturday.

Impact Gilbreath served as the extra man for a doubleheader in mid-April but didn't get to make his MLB debut. He's up in place of Antonio Senzatela (gron) this time around, though he's unlikely to take Senzatela's place in the rotation, which isn't set to come up until Tuesday. Gilbreath was almost exclusively a starter in the minors, but he's yet to pitch above High-A and struggled to a 5.81 ERA at that level in 28 starts in 2019.

MAY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to alternate site Gilbreath was optioned to the alternate training site after Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

APRIL 17, 2021 • MLB.COM

Up as extra man Gilbreath was called up to serve as the extra man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Impact If Gilbreath appears in either half of the twin bill, it will be not just his first career big-league appearance but also his first appearance above High-A. He didn't look particularly impressive in 28 starts at that level in 2019, posting a 5.81 ERA and 1.68 WHIP.

APRIL 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Gilbreath was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

Impact Gilbreath was in the mix for an Opening Day roster spot during camp but has yet to pitch above High-A. As a result, he'll start the season at Triple-A Albuquerque but could be considered to make his major-league debut at some point in 2021. The southpaw made eight Cactus League appearances this year and posted a 7.36 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in 7.1 innings.

MARCH 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

In mix for roster spot Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday that Gilbreath is in the mix for an Opening Day roster spot, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gilbreath's contract was selected by the Rockies in November to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, but he hasn't pitched above High-A. The southpaw had a rough outing Wednesday while allowing four runs over two-thirds of an inning against the Giants, but he's been relatively effective otherwise and has struck out 12 batters across 6.2 innings. Even if Gilbreath begins the year in the majors, he shouldn't have a high-leverage role for Colorado.
