The Twins are expected to recall Gibson from Triple-A Rochester to start Monday's game against the Orioles, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was banished to the minors a little over two weeks ago upon turning in an 8.20 ERA and 1.97 WHIP over his first six starts of the season. He's been able to right the ship to some degree at Rochester with a 2.92 ERA and 18:5 K:BB over 12.1 innings, so the Twins seem inclined to give the 29-year-old another chance to solidify himself as the No. 5 starter. With Adalberto Mejia receiving a call up to start the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Royals, it appears he and Gibson will be in a competition for the final spot in the Twins' rotation.
