Gibaut (shoulder) has started playing catch, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut says he's feeling good again, but a targeted return date is unknown at this time. The right-handed reliever should take the usual steps -- bullpens, live batting practice and brief rehab assignment -- before rejoining the Reds.

The Reds placed Gibaut on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right shoulder impingement.

The Reds reinstated Gibaut (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut will be back in the Cincinnati bullpen after he had missed nearly a month while working his way back from a right shoulder impingement.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds placed Gibaut on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut surrendered two runs in one inning during his appearance Friday, and it seems he injured his shoulder in the process. The Reds will now put him on the shelf for at least the next 15 days and call up Lyon Richardson to fill the open spot in their bullpen.

Gibaut was the surprise choice by Reds manager Terry Francona to pick up the save on Opening Day but blew it badly, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk, including a three-run homer by Wilmer Flores to break a 3-3 tie after Gibault had already blown the save.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was literally the last pitcher added to the Reds' roster after Alexis Diaz was placed on the IL, making the team as a non-roster player after getting non-tendered in November. It's noteworthy that other potential fill-in closers Scott Barlow, Emilio Pagan and Tony Santillan pitched the sixth-through-eighth innings. Neither Taylor Rogers nor Graham Ashcraft pitched in the game.

The Reds selected Gibaut's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old reliever owns a 3.77 ERA over 112.1 innings since joining the Reds in 2022, and he'll attempt to work his way back into Cincinnati's bullpen during spring training.
