Gibson logged two innings of relief Tuesday against the Tigers and does not appear in line to make another start this season. He gave up one run on four hits and zero walks while striking out four and picking up the hold.

EDGE Analysis

He had lineup up to start Wednesday, but after he was used in relief it was announced that Randy Dobnak would start Wednesday on short rest. Gibson had an 8.02 ERA and 2.08 WHIP in 33.2 innings over his most recent eight appearances, so it makes sense that the Twins would move him to the bullpen at this stage of the season.

Gibson did not factor into the decision against Kansas City on Thursday, pitching 1.2 innings and giving up three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

After coming out of the bullpen in his previous appearance, Gibson was given the opportunity to start Thursday but did little to stem the tide of his recent slump. The 31-year-old had trouble finding the plate all evening, tossing only 25 of 52 pitches for strikes and issuing four walks in 1.2 innings. Gibson held a 4.02 ERA after a win on Aug. 3 but has since gone 2-3 while posting an 8.02 ERA over 33.2 innings. He'll try to turn things around in a road matchup against Detroit on Wednesday.

Gibson made his second relief appearance of the season in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Indians, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in his lone inning.

EDGE Analysis

After a stint on the injured list caused by ulcerative colitis, Gibson was reinstated Thursday and was lit up in his return to the rotation, giving up six runs in 4.2 innings. Given that the Twins already had 13 healthy relief options on hand with the expanded September roster, manager Rocco Baldelli's decision to deploy Gibson out of the bullpen three days after starting was surprising. Gibson is still expected to start the next time his turn in the rotation comes up Thursday or Friday versus the Royals, but his usage in relief may provide a glimpse of what his role might be when the postseason arrives.

Gibson (13-7) took the loss against the Nationals on Thursday, giving up six runs (five earned) on eight hits over 4.2 innings, striking out five and walking four as the Twins fell 12-6.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start after getting activated from the 10-day injured list with an abdominal injury, Gibson didn't have it, struggling with his command to the tune of four free passes and serving up a pair of long balls to Anthony Rendon and Adam Eaton. He now has a 4.73 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 151:49 K:BB across 154 innings and will look to right the ship in his next start, which is scheduled for a Tuesday home matchup against the White Sox.

Gibson (abdomen) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson isn't slated to toe the rubber until Thursday against Washington, but the Twins have elected to bring him off the injured list a few days before his outing. He was placed on the 10-day IL on Sept. 1 due to ulcerative colitis.

Gibson (abdomen) is scheduled to be activated off the 10-day injured list to start Thursday against the Nationals, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier in the week that Gibson was expected to return during the three-game set versus the Nationals, and he'll take the ball in the series finale. The 31-year-old landed on the IL at the start of September with ulcerative colitis, but it won't end up causing an extended absence.

Gibson (abdomen) is expected to return next week during the Twins' series against the Nationals, which runs from Tuesday to Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson has been sidelined since the start of September with ulcerative colitis, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. His exact return date should become clearer within the next few days.

Gibson (abdomen) said Sunday that he's hopeful that he'll be cleared to pitch again in about a week, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson was surprisingly placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday when it was revealed he was dealing with ulcerative colitis, a condition that caused him to lose around 10 pounds over the past month and a half. Though Gibson had been able to pitch through the medical issue, the Twins elected to shut him down after he informed the training staff he felt little strength in his legs coming out of his start Aug. 30 in Detroit. Gibson, who has been fluctuating between 195 and 200 pounds since the All-Star break, will use his time on the IL to regain strength and move closer to his ideal weight of 212 pounds. While Gibson is sidelined, Randy Dobnak will get the first crack at replacing him in the rotation when a fifth starter is first needed Tuesday in Boston.

The Twins placed Gibson on the 10-day injured list Sunday after he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota hasn't revealed a timeline for Gibson's return to baseball activities while he tends to the inflammatory bowel condition. With Gibson at least unavailable for his upcoming start Wednesday in Boston, the Twins will likely to turn to one of a pair of September callups, Devin Smeltzer or Lewis Thorpe, to take the hill or opt to fill the right-hander's spot in the rotation with a bullpen game.

Gibson (13-6) picked up the win Friday, allowing four runs on 10 hits over five innings while striking out five in a 13-5 victory over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins scored at least two runs in each of the first four innings, giving Gibson more than enough run support to overcome his own difficulties in keeping Tigers off the basepaths. The right-hander has had a rough August, posting a 6.27 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB through 33 innings over six starts, but he'll look to wipe the slate clean in his next outing Wednesday in Boston.
