We have finally had some important fantasy baseball pitchers return from injury, including Justin Steele and Kyle Bradish. While they do provide some reinforcements, there are still plenty of big names that we likely won't hear from anytime soon.With many fantasy managers still searching for replacements, there are some unexpected players who have stepped up to become fantasy-relevant. They include Clarke Schmidt, Dean Kremer, and Kyle Gibson.Let's dig into the stats for these three starters and...

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Gibson took a no-decision in Tuesday night's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. In five innings of work, Gibson allowed two runs on five hits while walking two and striking out seven. Both of the runs he allowed came in the first inning, but he settled down from there to have a decent outing on the road. The 35-year-old right-hander's seven K's were the most since he had 11 on April 22, and he's allowed two runs or fewer in four of his last ...

On Wednesday, Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Gibson had a challenging game, giving up six earned runs on 10 hits over 6 2/3 innings pitched. He also picked up his first loss of the year. Gibson struggled to get batters out and could not collect a strikeout for the first time in a contest this season. However, the 35-year-old still has ok stats this year, with a 4-1 record, a 4.61 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 41 frames thrown.

The Baltimore Orioles announced that right-hander Kyle Gibson will be moved up to start on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers. Gibson had been originally scheduled to start on Wednesday, but he'll be on regular rest on Tuesday because of the off day last Friday. Tyler Wells was scheduled to go on Tuesday, but he was used in relief on Monday. With things moved around, the Orioles could be looking at a bullpen game on Wednesday. In his Opening Day start last Thursday against the Boston Red Sox, ...

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Gibson has been named the Opening Day starter. The 35-year-old signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the team over the offseason. He's by far the most experienced pitcher on the staff, so it makes sense that they'd give him the Opening Day nod. He struggled last season in 31 starts with the Philadelphia Phillies. However, Gibson has looked much better this spring, which gives hope for a bounce back campaign. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited ...

The Baltimore Orioles agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal, pending a physical, with free-agent right-hander Kyle Gibson on Saturday, according to a source. Gibson isn't a big fantasy name, but he should be able to eat some innings for the O's in 2023. The 35-year-old spent last season with the Philadelphia Phillies, going 10-8 with a 5.05 ERA (4.28 FIP), a 1.34 WHIP, 144 strikeouts and 48 walks in 167 2/3 innings pitched over his 31 starts. Gibson has a below-average strikeout rate and ...

The Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly one of the teams interested in free-agent starting pitcher Kyle Gibson, per MLB Network's Jon Heyman. The 35-year-old compiled a 10-8 record with a poor 5.05 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 20.1% strikeout rate in 31 starts with the Phillies in 2022. However, he was a useful fantasy streamer at times throughout the season and had a more encouraging 4.06 SIERA. Gibson's high WHIP and low strikeout numbers have always limited his fantasy upside, and going to a team with a ...

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Gibson has been placed on the bereavement list. The veteran hurler's next scheduled start will occur on Tuesday against the Braves so there's a decent chance he won't end up missing any time. The 34-year-old right-hander has posted a 4.60 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 84:31 K/BB ratio over 107 2/3 innings (20 starts) on the season. Reliever Mark Appel was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Gibson threw 106 pitches but turned in a decent outing in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Braves. Gibson pitched 5 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk with eight strikeouts. The 34-year-old is now 3-2 with a 3.94 ERA, 45 strikeouts, and 14 walks over nine starts and 48 IP this season. He isn't the flashiest fantasy player, but he has continued to be a useful back-of-the-rotation option and is just 54-percent rostered. His next matchup will ...

The game between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets scheduled for Friday has been postponed due to rain in the forecast. It will be made up on Saturday, Aug. 20. Friday's scheduled starting pitchers -- right-hander Max Scherzer for the Mets and right-hander Kyle Gibson for the Phillies -- will presumably be pushed back to Saturday's contest. The Phillies blew a six-run lead in the ninth inning to lose to their division rivals on Thursday night, so perhaps they could use the day off. ...
