Twins pitching prospect Kyle Gibson (elbow) will move up to High-A Fort Myers Sunday to continue his rehab from Tommy John surgery.
It's been so far, so good for the team's best pitching prospect, as Gibson posted a 2.45 ERA and 16/4 K/BB ratio over 14 2/3 innings for the team's rookie-level Gulf Coast League club. Twins minor league director Jim Rantz even said that Gibson is "throwing a little harder than he did before he was hurt." Gibson won't make it up to the big club this season but could position himself for a rotation spot early in 2013 if he finishes strong.
