Gibson gave up four earned runs over 6.1 innings with eight strikeouts and one walk, but got a no-decision in Friday's win over Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson had a season high in strikeouts in his last start which at least offers some hope for next year after a disappointing year. Gibson was expected to improve this season to become a reliable starter at the top of the rotation, but instead took a step back as both his walk rate and strikeout rates were worse than last year. He finishes the season with a 5.07 ERA and 4.75 FIP. It will be interesting to see if he still fits prominently into Minnesota's plans for the rotation once a new GM is hired in the offseason.

Gibson gave up two runs over five innings with four walks and two strikeouts, but got a no-decision in Friday's loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson struggled with his control, but the bigger issue for the Twins was the bullpen which gave up eight runs after Gibson left. Gibson will make his last start of the season Friday at Kansas City.

Gibson gave up three earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and one walk over five innings in Sunday's loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson gave up two runs in the first inning but recovered. He has two more starts to improve on a disappointing season as he's 6-10 with a 5.10 ERA as he's seen his K/9, BB/9 and HR/9 rates all get worse than last season.

Gibson (6-9) pitched eight innings, allowing just one run on five hits and three walks while striking out four Tigers in Tuesday's win.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson allowed a run in the bottom of the first before stringing together seven scoreless frames en route to his first win since mid-August. The 28-year-old has been wildly inconsistent in the second half of the season, making Gibson a difficult play under any format. His six wins and 5.08 ERA through 131 innings are Gibson's worst marks for any of his three seasons with 20-plus starts. He'll go for back-to-back wins when he toes the rubber Sunday against the Mets.

Gibson allowed four runs on eight hits -- two of them homers -- over six innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Wednesday. He struck out four and walked two.
EDGE Analysis
The righty gave up only six home runs over his first 10 starts, but has become extremely prone to the long ball lately, having given up multiple homers in three of his last five outings. Not coincidentally, he's give up 18 runs over his last 22 innings -- though to be fair, he hasn't experienced much success in general this year. Only rarely does Gibson deliver a start that makes you happy he was in your lineup, so it's best to stay away from him for fantasy purposes in most leagues.

Gibson (5-9) allowed five runs on nine hits, struck out six and walked one in a loss to the White Sox on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
He actually took a two-run lead into the fourth, but from there, the game completely swung in Chicago's favor. Gibson tossed up a two-run homer to Todd Frazier and then allowed another run in the fifth. Chicago went on to win 11-4. The 28-year-old has posted just one quality start since the beginning of August. He is 5-9 with a 5.31 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 82 strikeouts in 117 innings this season. His next start will be Wednesday versus Kansas City.

Gibson (5-8) gave up four runs on eight hits, including two home runs, and three walks over 5.1 innings while striking out one but escaped with a no-decision in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
His control his completely deserted him in August and Gibson now has a putrid 19:17 K:BB in 34 innings over six starts on the month en route to a 6.62 ERA. He'll next take the mound Friday at home against the White Sox.

Gibson (5-8) allowed five runs, seven hits and four walks over five innings Tuesday against the Tigers. He struck out four in the loss.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson followed up his complete-game victory with a dud Tuesday. The four free passes fell one short of his season high set back on April 6 in his first start of the season. The 28-year-old has been less than impressive during his 2016 campaign, but Gibson has been at his worst lately. His 6.59 ERA and five homers allowed through five August starts are his worst marks for any month this year. Gibson's next start, Sunday versus a dangerous Blue Jays lineup, won't make life any easier for the right-hander.

Gibson (5-7) tossed a complete game in Wednesday's win over the Braves. He allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks while notching six strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson needed a season-high 115 pitches to finish off his first career nine-inning complete game. The only runs he allowed were on two swings, a two-run homer in the third by Freddie Freeman, and a solo shot in the ninth given up to Nick Markakis. Working around the blemish in the ninth, Gibson struck out the side in the final frame to cement the night as his own. However, it's tough to put much stock in this game as an indicator of future performances for the 28-year-old. The Braves are the worst offense in baseball, and Gibson has been incredibly inconsistent all year, thus offering reason to pause before getting too excited about his big night in Atlanta.

Gibson (4-6) allowed two runs on six hits and four walks over five innings Sunday while striking out two in a 6-3 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
It was hardly his sharpest outing of the season but with Miguel Sano putting on a power display, Gibson was just good enough to qualify for the win. After a solid July that saw him post a 3.69 ERA and 28:7 K:BB in 31.2 innings the wheels seem to be coming off for Gibson in August, as he now has a 4:5 K:BB in 9.2 innings through two starts to go along with an ugly 7.45 ERA. He'll try to turn things around Friday at home against the Royals.
