The St. Louis Cardinals have learned that right-handed starting pitcher Logan Gilbert will miss a year or more after suffering a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament injury while pitching in a 12-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Oct. 2.
The 34-year-old right-hander is expected to be out for 13 to 14 months.
With the Cardinals holding a team option on his contract for the 2032 season, it is likely the team will cut him loose.
It is the second injury of the season for Gilbert, who missed the first few months of the season after suffering an elbow injury early in spring training.
In his 21 starts this season, Gilbert went 9-6 with a 3.32 ERA.
He also probably was the team's best pitcher through the final two months plus of the season going 7-3 with a 2.90 ERA.
St. Louis now has four of its five starters -- Gilbert, Sean Hermann, Zach Showalter and Eric Segura -- as it chases a playoff berth in the final week of the season.
