Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The age-old issue of Coors Field was as present as ever for Gomber last season, which is evidenced by his 7.05 ERA in 15 home starts compared to a 3.68 ERA in 12 starts on the road. That's a sharp contrast to his first season with Colorado in 2021, when the home/road splits were flipped (2.09 home ERA vs. 6.22 road ERA). Gomber made 27 starts last year and should again be in the rotation for 2024, but the volatile pitching environment and inconsistent track record limits his appeal to that of an occasional streamer.

Making spring debut Wednesday
Gomber (back) is slated to start Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Angels, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
He's expected to work two innings before turning the game over to a cadre of relievers. Gomber didn't make any appearances after Aug. 28 last season due to lower-back inflammation, but he seems to have received a clean bill of health heading into spring training. After agreeing to a one-year, $3.15 million deal with the Rockies in the offseason to avoid arbitration, Gomber's rotation spot should be fairly secure heading into Opening Day.

2016
Gomber was arguably the Rockies' best starter in 2021 and inarguably their best starter at Coors Field, where he held a 2.09 ERA in nine outings. However, in 2022 he found himself demoted to the bullpen after posting a 5.97 ERA in the first half. The left-hander was a little better in relief, although his issues with the home run ball and with right-handed batters remained. Gomber should get another opportunity to start again in 2023 and his nice allotment of secondary pitches gives him a shot at some success. His fastball has been so hittable, though, that it's difficult to imagine him showing enough consistency to be anything more than an occasional streamer on the road unless he goes offspead-heavy with his pitch mix.
