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.
