Arkansas Travelers pitcher Logan Gilbert has been named Texas League Pitcher of the Week for August 12-18 as announced by League President Tim Purpura.

On the 13th, he blanked NW Arkansas for six innings, scattering four hits and one walk while striking out eight. Five days later, the 22-year old dominated Springfield for five innings, giving up just two hits and three walks while striking out eight more. The starts were just the sixth and seventh appearances of Gilbert's Double-A career. He joins pitchers Nabil Crismatt, Darren McCaughan, Andrew Moore and outfielders Jake Fraley and Kyle Lewis as TL weekly award winners from the Travs in 2019.
