Gibson (4-5) allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out one over 4.2 innings, but received no-decision Saturday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson got away with walking four batters, and the only damage he incurred was a solo homer to Jose Ramirez, and although he left with a 2-1 lead, he didn't pitch long enough to qualify for the victory. With a 6.23 ERA on the season, he's a weak fantasy option. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Red Sox.

Gibson (4-5) took the loss despite tossing a quality start, allowing three runs over six innings Sunday against the Indians. He struck out four and walked three.
EDGE Analysis
Perhaps this was the universe's way of evening fortunes out, since Gibson earned the win in his last start even though he gave up six runs. With eight hits allowed, plus the walks, the Indians were constantly on base against Gibson Sunday.

Gibson gave up six runs on a career-high 12 hits over six innings, but improved to 4-4 thanks to plenty of run support in a 20-7 win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson took a step back after finally starting to show some life the last three starts (2.65 ERA) but his outing will be masked by the large run support that likely kept him in the game a few innings longer than his performance warranted. He did have four strikeouts and no walks despite giving up 12 hits, which is one positive since too many walks have been a problem (4.8 BB/9 before Tuesday).

Gibson gave up one run over six innings to improve to 3-4 in Thursday's win over Seattle. He had four strikeouts and three walks.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has started to turn his season around as he's allowed just five earned runs over 17 innings in his last three starts. He has a 15:10 K:BB over that span, so walks continue to be an issue. However, he's bounced back well enough to remain in the rotation for the near term.

Gibson (2-4) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings in Friday's 11-5 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
He tossed five scoreless frames to begin the game and appeared headed for his best outing of the season, but Gibson tired in the sixth and ended up falling one out short of a quality start. The right-hander has shown some marginal improvement lately, but he'll still carry a 7.23 ERA into his next start Thursday at Seattle.

Gibson gave up three runs (two earned) with five hits, four walks and four strikeouts over 5.1 innings in a no-decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't a great outing as Gibson continues to struggle with his control. He's given up 14 walks in his last 19.1 innings. However, it was likely a decent enough outing to keep him in the rotation for another start.

Gibson (1-4) allowed six runs on seven hits and four walks across five innings during Monday's win over the Orioles. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was sent down to Triple-A Rochester earlier this month in hopes of turning things around after a rough start, but Monday's outing wasn't all that inspiring. He allowed five runs on five hits in the second inning and another on an RBI double by Manny Machado in the fourth. Gibson struggled to throw strikes and was battered at times, but he was allowed to labor through five frames as his team remained competitive, before earning him the win in the latter innings. He now owns a ghastly 8.62 ERA through 31.1 innings in 2017 and seems likely to be headed back to the minors.

Gibson was recalled from Triple-A Rochester and will start Monday's game against the Orioles, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Gibson was summoned to the big club ahead of his scheduled start Monday. Although the 29-year-old struggled across six starts with the Twins earlier in the season (8.20 ERA and 16:13 K:BB through 26.1 innings), he posted a 2.92 ERA and 18:5 K:BB through 12.1 innings with Rochester thereafter, so we'll see if his improvement translates.

Manager Paul Molitor confirmed that Gibson would be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to start Monday against the Orioles, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "There's been some improvement on things we thought were affecting his ability to compete at a little higher level up here, Twins manager Paul Molitor said of Gibson. "Some of it's overall strike percentage, some of it's getting ahead of hitters. We have a tendency to be looking at those things a little bit differently than we have in the past and how they seem to measure up to your overall performance."
EDGE Analysis
After failing to deliver a quality start and compiling a 8.20 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in six outings with the Twins earlier this season, Gibson seemed on track for an extended stay in the minors following his demotion to Rochester on May 4. However, after the right-hander notched 10 strikeouts in his most recent outing May 15 and turned in a 2.92 ERA over two starts at Triple-A, the Twins brass felt that Gibson was ready for a second chance in the big leagues. Gibson will be formally recalled shortly before Monday's game and claim a 25-man roster spot from Phil Hughes (shoulder), who will be placed on the disabled list in a corresponding move.

The Twins are expected to recall Gibson from Triple-A Rochester to start Monday's game against the Orioles, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was banished to the minors a little over two weeks ago upon turning in an 8.20 ERA and 1.97 WHIP over his first six starts of the season. He's been able to right the ship to some degree at Rochester with a 2.92 ERA and 18:5 K:BB over 12.1 innings, so the Twins seem inclined to give the 29-year-old another chance to solidify himself as the No. 5 starter. With Adalberto Mejia receiving a call up to start the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Royals, it appears he and Gibson will be in a competition for the final spot in the Twins' rotation.
