Gibson (groin) was activated off the injured list as expected ahead of his scheduled start Friday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson wound up missing two weeks with a strained right groin. He was having a strong season prior to the injury, cruising to a 2.24 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 10 starts, though it took a .234 BABIP to get him there. His 20.1 percent strikeout rate is above his career average (18.2 percent) but remains well below the league-average mark of 24.1 percent. Wes Benjamin was optioned in a corresponding move.

Gibson (groin) will come off the injured list and start Friday against the Rays, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson came out of a bullpen session Wednesday without a setback and is ready to go Friday. "The plan we had going into it was really good and I saw a quick turnaround," he said. "It's just a really good plan. I've been feeling really good." Before going down with a groin strain, Gibson was 3-0 with a 2.24 ERA while holding opponents to a .193 batting average over 60.1 innings.

Gibson (groin) is expected to be activated off the injured list following the Colorado series which ends Thursday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Gibson returns after the Colorado series, it means he'd miss the minimum amount of time and not require a rehab stint. Gibson has a 2.24 ERA and 1.01 WHIP over 60.1 innings.

Gibson was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right groin strain.

EDGE Analysis

The righty gave no indication that he was hurt in his six-inning, one-run outing Friday against the Astros, so it's not entirely clear whether he suffered the injury during the game. Gibson has logged a ton of innings this season, going at least six innings in all but one of his 10 starts. Pitchers Demarcus Evans and Wes Benjamin were recalled Tuesday to fill the spots of Gibson and Hunter Wood (elbow), who also went to the injured list.

Gibson yielded one run on four hits and two walks over six innings in Friday's win over Houston. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from an Aledmys Diaz RBI groundout in the second inning, Gibson kept the Astros pretty quiet Friday. He would've improved to 4-0 if the Rangers' bullpen didn't meltdown in the eighth and allow Houston to force extras. Still, he lowered his season ERA to a terrific 2.24 with a 48:19 K:BB through 60.1 innings. Gibson is projected to face Seattle on the road next week.

Gibson allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts over seven innings versus Houston on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson left with the game tied at 2-2, but reliever Joely Rodriguez gave up four runs in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old Gibson has been on quite a roll lately with eight straight quality starts, but he's only earned the win in three of them. The right-hander has a 2.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB across 54.1 innings. His next start is expected to be during next weekend's home series versus Houston.

Gibson allowed one run on four hits and two walks over six innings in Monday's loss to the Giants. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The only damage against Gibson came on a fourth-inning solo homer by Brandon Belt. After his horrid first outing of the season, the 32-year-old has turned in seven consecutive quality starts, lowering his season to 2.28 in the process. He's lined up to take the mound in Houston this weekend.

Gibson didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Twins. He gave up three runs on three hits and two walks while fanning eight across eight innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson gave up five runs and couldn't get out of the first inning in his season debut, but he has looked dominant since then -- he has allowed just six earned runs across his last 41 innings, good for a blistering 1.32 ERA in that span. The veteran right-hander will try to extend his dominant stretch of form when he takes the ball next week on the road against the Giants.

Gibson (3-0) won Thursday's 4-1 contest against Boston, going six innings and allowing one run on three hits and three walks with four punch outs.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson was able to stay out of trouble yet again as the only real damage came on a sixth-inning Rafael Devers RBI double. After a disastrous first outing, Gibson has allowed only three runs in 33 innings across his five ensuing starts.

Gibson didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the White Sox. He gave up one run on six hits and two walks while fanning five across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson had a woeful start to the season since he couldn't escape the first inning in Opening Day, but he has bounced back admirably and hasn't allowed more than one earned run in each of his subsequent four starts -- with three scoreless outings in that stretch. He's on a run of four straight quality starts and is slated to take the ball next week during a four-game series against the Red Sox.
