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.

The Twins optioned Gibaut to their minor-league camp Sunday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The hard-throwing righty was hit hard in his lone appearance in Grapefruit League play -- he allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk over one inning March 2 against the Braves. The poor showing was enough to end his long-shot bid for a spot in the Twins' Opening Day bullpen.

Gibaut cleared waivers Friday and will remain in Twins camp as a non-roster invitee.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for new signing Matt Shoemaker. It's not particularly surprising that he went unclaimed, as he owns a 6.08 ERA and a 15.4 percent walk rate in 26.2 career innings at the major-league level.

Gibaut was claimed off waivers by the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut has thrown 26.2 major-league innings for the Rays and Rangers across the last two seasons. He hasn't had much success, walking 15.4 percent of opposing batters en route to a 6.08 ERA. He'll presumably fill a low-leverage role in Minnesota unless his control improves.

Gibaut was optioned to Texas' alternate camp site Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This move comes after Gibaut was charged with three earned runs while recording just one out in Tuesday's loss to the A's. The right-hander now owns a 6.57 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB across 12.1 innings this season. Nick Goody was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Gibaut dropped his appeal and will begin serving a two-game suspension Wednesday in San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was originally handed a three-game ban for throwing behind Manny Machado on Monday, but it was reduced to two games with him dropping the appeal. Gibaut will be able to rejoin the Rangers for Friday's series opener against the Mariners, while the team plays a man down for the next two days.

Gibaut was hit with a three-game suspension Tuesday for throwing behind Manny Machado in Monday's game against the Padres, but he'll remain active for now as he's appealing the ban, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was apparently mad at Fernando Tatis Jr. for homering on a 3-0 count with the Padres already holding a big lead but chose to express his frustration in a manner deemed unacceptable by the league. The three-game ban was already two games shorter than Joe Kelly's eventual suspension for throwing near Astros hitters earlier in the year, so it's not clear that he'll have a case to see its length reduced. Rangers manager Chris Woodward was also suspended one game but did not appeal, choosing to serve his suspension Tuesday.

Gibaut (0-1) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out three over one inning, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut struck out Stephen Piscotty to start the seventh inning, but allowed Tony Kemp to reach on a single. Austin Allen's two-run blast a batter later put the Athletics ahead for good. Gibaut has allowed six runs in six appearances this season. The 26-year-old is likely to remain in a middle-relief role.

Gibaut will be included on the Rangers' Opening Day roster, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old re-signed with Texas on a minor-league deal in December, and he was able to earn a roster spot with a strong performance at summer camp. Gibaut appeared in 10 major-league games last season and had a 5.65 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB over 14.1 innings.

Gibaut struck out two and retired all four batters faced on 10 pitches Wednesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been impressive during summer camp, having allowed one hit while striking out eight over four scoreless innings. With a spate of injuries in the bullpen, the Rangers will likely add Gibaut to the active roster when the season starts.
