Rockies Place Austin Gomber On 10-Day IL Due To Forearm Tightness

By Mark Polishuk | June 20, 2021 at 1:27pm CDT

TODAY: Gomber has been placed on the 10-day injured list, the team announced.  In corresponding roster moves, righty Joe Harvey’s contract was selected from Triple-A, while right-hander Jordan Sheffield was moved to the 60-day IL.

JUNE 19: Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber left tonight’s start after two innings due to left forearm tightness, the team announced.  The removal was made “for precautionary reasons,” specifically.  Gomber stayed in the game long enough to make a plate appearance in the bottom of the second inning, dropping down a sacrifice bunt.  (MLB.com’s Thomas Harding noted that Jhoulys Chacin was already warming up in Colorado’s bullpen before Gomber’s at-bat, so it doesn’t appear as though the injury occurred while Gomber was at the plate.)

Injuries have already led to one big setback in Gomber’s career, as he missed the entire 2019 season due to shoulder and biceps problems.  A forearm issue is naturally of major concern, and it could be that the Rockies were simply acting as quickly as possible in removing Gomber at the first hint of trouble.

The 27-year-old Gomber carried an outsized spotlight entering the season, as he was the only player with MLB experience amongst the four-player package the Rockies received from the Cardinals in the Nolan Arenado trade.  Colorado fans were notably displeased about pretty much every facet of that deal, though Gomber’s recent numbers have provided a silver lining.  After a slow start to the season, Gomber had caught fire, posting a 1.28 ERA over his last seven starts and 42 1/3 innings heading into tonight’s outing against the Brewers.

Gomber is under team control through the 2025 season, giving the Rockies either a rotation building block or potentially even a future trade chip (i.e. not at this year’s trade deadline) depending on whether or not the team embarks on a wide-scale rebuild.  A serious forearm injury, of course, would interrupt either of those scenarios.

        Fever Pitch, I sense a subtle pattern developing on your posts. Are you in cahoots with RIP Steve Nebraska?

    Rockies: [have a starter doing well that’s not named Ubaldo Jimenez]
    Baseball Gods: wait, that’s illegal.

    Wow, I’m starting to think that Arenado trade was not so good.

    Of course. Ugh. Can’t enjoy having a quality pitcher. Hope it’s not serious. He’s been fun to follow.

    As a Cardinals fan, I hated seeing Gomber get traded. I’ve kept up with him so far this year and hate to see him go down with an injury. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.

    I have to think Monfort has provided all FO personnel with a copy of Rebuilding for Dummies. I don’t think anyone on staff has any trade experience much less rebuild experience. My guess is they’ll punt at the deadline and not trade anyone.
