The Dodgers designated Gibaut for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles claimed Gibaut off waivers Thursday, but the right-handed hurler didn't keep a roster spot for long. He didn't get into any games with the Dodgers and was DFA'd to make room for David Price (personal), who returned from the Family Medical Emergency List on Sunday. Gibaut could remain in the organization if he clears waivers.

Gibaut was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was designated for assignment by the Guardians earlier this week, and he'll join the Dodgers after the waiver claim. The 29-year-old made his season debut Monday for Cleveland and delivered 1.1 scoreless innings, and he has a 3.20 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB over 19.2 innings at Triple-A this year.

The Guardians designated Gibaut for assignment Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was dropped from the 40-man roster so the Guardians could clear a spot for catcher Sandy Leon, who was acquired from the Reds on Tuesday and is set to serve as Cleveland's No. 2 backstop behind Luke Maile while Austin Hedges (concussion) is on the 7-day injured list. The 28-year-old right-handed reliever has spent the majority of the campaign at Triple-A Columbus, though he was called up from the minors Monday and pitched 1.1 innings out of the bullpen in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Twins.

Gibaut (finger) was reinstated from the 7-day minor-league injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut sustained a dislocated finger on his right hand in early May but has been cleared to return to game action after missing just over three weeks. Over seven relief appearances at Triple-A Columbus this year, the right-hander has posted a 7.04 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 7.2 innings.

Triple-A Columbus placed Gibaut on its 7-day injured list Monday with a dislocated finger on his right hand.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to landing on the IL, the veteran reliever made seven appearances this season for Columbus this season, giving up six earned runs while striking out nine over 7.2 innings. Gibaut previously made three appearances in the majors with the Twins in 2021, but his lack of a 40-man roster spot will make it difficult for him to earn a call-up to Cleveland at any point in 2022.

The Guardians reassigned Gibaut to minor-league camp Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut, who had been attending big-league camp as a non-roster invitee, is expected to open the season at Triple-A Columbus. Between stops with the Rays, Rangers and Twins, Gibaut has made 27 relief appearances at the big-league level across the past three seasons, generating a 5.40 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 33.1 innings.

Gibaut signed a minor-league deal with Cleveland on Thursday, according to his agent.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut spent the majority of the 2021 season in the Twins organization at Triple-A St. Paul. He pitched almost exclusively out of the bullpen but struggled to a 6.80 ERA and 1.67 WHIP. He'll have the opportunity to earn a role in Cleveland's bullpen during spring training, though he'll have to substantially improve his results to do so.

Gibaut was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut had his contract selected in late August but spent the final weeks of the season at Triple-A, and he's now been removed from the 40-man roster. The right-hander appeared in only three games for the Twins and spent most of the year at St. Paul, where he posted a 6.80 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 54:21 K:BB across 45 innings.

The Twins optioned Gibaut to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was up with the big club for about a week and a half, appearing in three games out of the bullpen while giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He'll cede his spot on the 28-man active roster to pitcher Michael Pineda (oblique), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled bulk-relief appearance in Monday's game in Cleveland.

Gibaut's contract was selected by the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut owns a career 6.08 ERA in 26.2 innings at the major-league level. He's spent the entirety of this season at the Triple-A level, where he owns an even worse 7.20 ERA. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage innings during his time with the team.
