Gibson announced his retirement from professional baseball Thursday on the "Serving it Up" podcast.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson said he made the decision "a couple weeks" after opting out of his minor-league contract with the Rays in late June. The 37-year-old allowed 23 earned runs in only 12.1 innings in the big leagues with the Orioles this season but will finish with 112 wins and a 4.60 ERA across parts of 13 major-league seasons. Gibson made one All-Star team in 2021.

Gibson plans to opt out of his minor-league contract with the Rays, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson has allowed 23 earned runs in only 12.1 innings in the big leagues this year, but he's been great since signing with the Rays, turning in an 0.52 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 17.1 frames at Triple-A Durham. Despite his resurgence, the 37-year-old righty didn't have a clear path to big-league playing time with the Rays, so he'll now enter the open market and look for another opportunity that may lead to the majors.

The Rays agreed to a contract with Gibson on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson made four starts with the Orioles before being released May 20, and he logged a 16.78 ERA and 2.92 WHIP over 12.1 innings during that stretch. The veteran will get a fresh start with Tampa Bay, though it's not clear where he'll fit in the organization's plans. The Rays currently don't have any holes in their rotation, and the bullpen boasts a 3.26 ERA.

The Orioles released Gibson on Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was designated for assignment by Baltimore over the weekend and has now been jettisoned from the organization. Gibson made just four starts after inking a one-year, $5.25 million contract in March and surrendered 23 earned runs with a 10:7 K:BB over 12.1 innings.

The Orioles designated Gibson for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 37-year-old inked a one-year, $5.25 million contract with Baltimore in March, but he's been dumped from the big-league roster after posting a 16.78 ERA, 2.92 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across just 12.1 innings. Gibson was serviceable for the Cardinals last year with a 4.24 ERA in 30 starts, but the Orioles couldn't afford to give him a longer leash with his horrible performance only amplifying the club's disappointing start to 2025.

Gibson (0-3) took the loss against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk with one strikeout while recording just two outs in the first inning.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson allowed the first six batters he faced to reach base and needed 47 pitches to record only two outs before being pulled in favor of Charlie Morton. The veteran has struggled mightily through four starts this season, yielding five earned runs or more in three of them while failing to exceed four innings in any outing. He'll carry an unsightly 16.78 ERA, 2.92 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 12.1 innings into a tough road matchup with the Red Sox next week.

Gibson (0-2) allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson has been awful since he was called up April 29. He's pitched to a 13.11 ERA, 2.49 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB across 11.2 innings over three starts after signing with the Orioles in late March. The 37-year-old could be at risk of losing his place on the major-league roster when Zach Eflin (lat) returns Sunday, as Gibson hasn't done enough to warrant sticking around. However, it's also possible Gibson stays in the rotation since Charlie Morton pitched out of the bullpen Saturday, tossing two perfect innings. In any case, Gibson is not an option for the vast majority of fantasy managers given his current level of performance.

Gibson did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Royals, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson allowed a solo home run in the second inning and a two-run single in the fourth. He generated 10 swinging strikes on 81 pitches and failed to exceed four frames for the second straight start since debuting Tuesday. The veteran hurler will carry a rough 14.09 ERA, 2.48 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB across 7.2 innings into a road matchup with the Angels next weekend.

Gibson (0-1) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing nine runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson spent the first six weeks of the season getting stretched out in extended spring training and the minors after signing a one-year deal with the Orioles on March 21. His first outing of the year couldn't have gotten off to a worse start, as the 37-year-old gave up three-straight home runs in the first inning before yielding a fourth to Cody Bellinger in the same frame. Gibson was mercifully pulled in the fourth inning after giving up a two-run double, tossing 73 pitches (44 strikes) with seven whiffs in his 2025 debut. He'll look to rebound in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Twins.

The Orioles recalled Gibson from High-A Aberdeen on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson is set to make his season debut for the Orioles on Tuesday against the Yankees. The veteran right-hander had been getting ramped up with three starts in the minors after signing with the Orioles in late March, allowing six runs (five earned) with a 13:2 K:BB over 12 innings. Gibson threw 78 pitches and went five innings in his last start with Aberdeen, so he should be able to handle around 90 pitches Tuesday.
