In 2023, Gilbert posted a 13–7 record with a 3.73 ERA and 189 strikeouts in 190+2⁄3 innings. His 5.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio ranked third in the American League, trailing his teammate George Kirby.

Gilbert continued to improve in 2024 and was selected for the All-Star Game. [37] He was replaced on the All-Star Game roster by Mariners reliever Andrés Muñoz, however, as Gilbert was scheduled to start two days before the game and therefore unavailable to pitch. [38]
