Gibson (9-5) allowed one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out three across eight innings, earning the win over the Padres on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson allowed a pair of doubles to start the game, leading to a run in the first inning. However, he proceeded to post seven straight scoreless innings, pitching eight innings for the third time this season. The only downfall is that he struck out just three batters. The 33-year-old has a 3.77 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 31 innings since joining the Phillies. He has five quality starts in his last six outings.

Gibson (8-5) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks after allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks across six innings, fanning five.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has dropped his last two starts and five of his last seven outings, but he hasn't been pitching as bad as a 2-5 record in that span would indicate. In fact, he has given up three or fewer runs in four of his last five appearances while posting four quality starts during that span. Aside from a woeful start against the Dodgers earlier this month, in which he gave up six runs across 4.1 innings, he has been a steady presence in the rotation since being acquired before the deadline. He owns a 4.70 ERA in four starts with the Phillies.

Gibson (8-4) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up six runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings as the Phillies fell 8-2 to the Dodgers. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Originally scheduled to get the start Wednesday, Gibson instead found himself used as a primary pitcher when manager Joe Girardi decided to hold him back due to the threat of bad weather, and he didn't enter the contest until after a 57-minute rain delay prior to the third inning. The ploy backfired when the right-hander gave up the first runs of the game in the top of the fourth, putting the Phillies in a hole they couldn't climb out of. Gibson has been a steadying force on the staff since being picked up at the trade deadline, posting a 3.18 ERA over his first three outings for Philly, but his 1.41 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB through 17 innings are worrying.

Gibson will take the mound to open the third inning Wednesday as the Dodgers and Phillies come out of a weather delay, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was a late scratch as Wednesday's starter, but it was simply a move from manager Joe Girardi to combat potential inclement weather, which ended up delaying the contest after two innings amid a scoreless tie.

Gibson was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Dodgers for an undisclosed reason, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies didn't provide a reason for the right-hander's late scratch, but Connor Brogdon will begin the game on the mound. It's not yet clear when Gibson will be able to return.

Gibson (8-3) earned the win Friday against the Phillies after tossing six innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and four walks while fanning three.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson's command wasn't entirely sharp in this one, as the four walks represent his second-worst mark of the season in that category, but that seems to be an issue with him of late. Through his last three starts, the veteran right-hander has posted a 12:14 K:BB across 18.2 innings. However, he still holds a 2.41 ERA in that span after allowing not more than two earned runs in each of those contests.

Gibson (7-3) earned the win Sunday against the Pirates after tossing 6.2 innings of two-run ball, allowing five hits and two walks while fanning five.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was composed on the mound and completed a 113-pitch outing barely unscathed, as he cruised his way to a second straight quality start. The last two outings have been somewhat of a bounce-back stretch for the veteran, however, who posted two straight awful outings against the Tigers in between the All-Star break. Gibson now owns a 5.46 ERA across five outings since the beginning of July, but he seems to be moving in the right direction.

Phillies manager Joe Girardi said it's "very possible" that Gibson starts Sunday's series finale in Pittsburgh, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, MLB.com also lists Gibson as the Phillies' probable pitcher for Sunday, so fantasy managers can probably count on him making his team debut this weekend. After becoming a first-time All-Star on the strength of an excellent first half with the Rangers, Gibson faltered in his final two starts before being traded Friday, working 11 innings between those outings while giving up 11 runs (10 earned) on 14 hits and 10 walks. The Phillies will likely need Gibson to rediscover his first-half form if they hope to chase down the Mets for the National League East crown.

Gibson was traded from the Rangers to the Phillies along with Ian Kennedy for an undisclosed package Friday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson is in the midst of a career year, sitting with a 2.87 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 94 strikeouts in 113 innings (19 starts). He was slated to start Saturday, so it's possible he slots right into the Phillies' rotation this weekend in Pittsburgh, perhaps Sunday in place of Spencer Howard.

Gibson (6-3) suffered the loss against Houston on Saturday, pitching six innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and eight walks while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Remarkably, Gibson managed to notch his 13th quality start of the campaign despite struggling mightily with his control throughout the contest. The right-hander threw only 48 of 104 pitches for strikes, hit one batter and more than doubled his single-game season-high mark with eight free passes. Houston took advantage of Gibson's wildness for three runs across the first three innings but was unable to push across any additional scores in the following three frames. The veteran hurler has lost each of his past three decisions, struggling to a 7.79 ERA and 1.96 WHIP over that stretch. He'll try to get back on track next weekend, when he is projected to make his next start at home versus Seattle.
