Gibaut signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Thursday as a non-roster invitee.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was non-tendered by the Rangers in early December after he was unable to reach an agreement with the team, but he will return as a non-roster invitee to spring training in 2020. The right-hander recorded a 5.65 ERA with a 1.53 WHIP over 14.1 innings in the majors last season.

Gibaut was non-tendered by the Rangers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut will test the open market after failing to come to terms with the Rangers prior to Monday's deadline. He posted a 5.65 ERa and 1.53 WHIP with 16 strikeouts over 14.1 frames in the big league a season ago.

The Rangers recalled Gibaut from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Sunday's 11-3 loss to the Mariners. He tossed 1.2 innings in relief, giving up a run on two walks and one hit while striking out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Texas added four pitchers to the roster ahead of Sunday's bullpen game, with all receiving work in their returns to big club. Though Gibaut wasn't especially impressive against Seattle and has just six appearances on his big-league ledger, the gaudy strikeout rates he's posted in the high minors and in his small sample in the majors makes him one of the more intriguing arms in the beleaguered Texas bullpen.

Gibaut was optioned to Triple-A Nashville after Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut fired two scoreless innings and fanned two during Game 1, but he'll be sent back to Triple-A in order for the Rangers to add a pair of fresh arms to the bullpen.

Gibaut fired two scoreless innings in Saturday's 12-7 loss to the Twins. He allowed two hits and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was acquired by the Rangers from the Rays at the trade deadline and made his debut for Texas. He was the lone Ranger pitcher among the five the pitched in the game to come away unscathed. With Texas' struggling rotation, Gibaut could see plenty of multi-inning work out of the bullpen.

Gibault was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut was acquired by the Rangers from the Rays ahead of the trade deadline and only had to wait a couple weeks before making his way to the majors. The 25-year-old has been limited to 16.2 minor-league innings this season, but in 2018 he posted a 2.09 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 75:21 K:BB at Triple-A.

The Rangers acquired Gibaut from the Rays on Sunday in exchange for a player to be named later, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays elected to designate the hard-throwing righty reliever for assignment earlier in the week when the team needed to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Matt Duffy, who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Though Gibaut has only one big-league appearance to his name, the Rangers were likely intrigued by the massive strikeout rates he's posted in the minors the past few seasons. Gibaut has been limited to just 10.1 innings at Triple-A Durham this season due to injury, but he turned in a 33.8 K% over 48 appearances for the affiliate in 2018. He'll likely report to Triple-A Nashville for his new organization but could get a call to the big leagues in the near future.

Gibaut was designated for assignment by the Rays on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut loses out on his 40-man roster spot with Matt Duffy (hamstring) activated from the 60-day injured list. His 32.7 percent strikeout rate in 10.1 frames for Triple-A Durham could generate some interest on the waiver wire, but it's come with a 20.4 percent walk rate.

Gibaut was sent back to Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was a brief appearance for Gibaut, who was called up just days before the All-Star break. In just two innings of work against the Orioles on Friday, the 25-year-old gave up two earned runs on one hit with two strikeouts and two walks. He will now be sent back down to Triple-A, where he has logged a 1.93 ERA with 16 strikeouts over just 9.1 innings. The Rays activated first baseman Ji-Man Choi (left ankle) from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Gibaut was recalled by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibaut will be replacing Brendan McKay, who won't be needed again before the All-Star break. Gibaut could be up for more than just a few days if he can come anywhere close to replicating his minor-league numbers. He owns a 2.22 ERA in his five-year professional career, striking out 30.5 percent of opposing hitters. That strikeout rate is sitting at an incredible 40.0 percent in 9.1 innings for Triple-A Durham this season.
