Gibson (3-6) was hammered for six runs on ten hits and one walk while striking out two Indians on Tuesday, but luckily escaped with a no-decision.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday marked Gibson's shortest outing since April 22, and hiked his ERA up to 4.94 on the season. The right-hander entered the game coming off his best month of the season in which he posted a 3.69 ERA over five starts. Gibson had struck out four-plus batters in each of his previous eighth outings before notching just two in this one. He'll try to chalk this up as a bad day and look to rebound in his next start Sunday against the Rays.

Gibson (3-6) pitched six innings, allowing two runs on nine hits while striking out six in a no-decision Thursday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson's quality start was ruined by the throw-back performance put on by Orioles' starter Ubaldo Jimenez (five innings, one run and eight K's). For the first time all season, Gibson did not issue a free pass. The 28-year-old struck out six-plus for the fifth time in his last six starts, something the righty hadn't done in any of his first seven starts in 2016. Although he's having a down season compared to the last two, Gibson has pitched better of late and has the potential to make a significant impact as we near the fantasy playoff season.

Gibson (3-6) allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out six over eight innings to earn the win Friday at the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing a lead-off homer to Mookie Betts, Gibson stymied the Red Sox the rest of the way, leaving the contest after throwing only 96 pitches through eight innings. This was his first quality start over his last four outings, and he now has a 4.67 ERA to go along with a 1.39 WHIP on the year. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Orioles.

Gibson (2-6) allowed four runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings to take the loss Sunday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson entered the fifth inning only trailing 1-0, but he was tagged for three runs between the fifth and sixth innings, leading to his sixth loss of the season. He's only thrown one quality start in his last five outings, and his ERA is at 5.12. He'll make his next start Friday at the Red Sox.

Gibson (2-5) allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings, but received no decision Friday at the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson left the contest with a 5-4 lead, but the bullpen quickly lost the lead in the sixth inning, leading to the no decision. He's only fired one quality start over his last four outings, and he has a 5.02 ERA on the year. He'll make his next start after the All-Star break.

Gibson (2-5) allowed four runs, two of which were earned, on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 6.2 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson went into the seventh inning with a 5-2 lead before giving up a pair of runs in the frame, but the bullpen was able to hold on to give him his second win of the season. He's now held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in three of his last four starts to lower his ERA from 6.49 to 4.82. He'll make his next start Friday at the Rangers.

Gibson (1-5) pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out seven in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
It was Gibson's best start since he threw 7.2 scoreless innings against the White Sox on September 13. The 28-year-old right-hander has offered mixed reviews in his four starts since returning from the DL, but the 107 pitches he delivered Tuesday match his season high and indicate he's feel good to move forward. Gibson will look to build on this one when he takes the hill Sunday against the Rangers.

Gibson allowed five runs, four of which were earned, on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings, but received no decision Wednesday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was provided plenty of run support, but he allowed the Phillies to post runs in three of his six innings of work to keep him from having a chance to pick up a victory. Opponents have now scored at least five runs off of him in three of his last four starts, and his ERA is at 6.05. He'll make his next start Tuesday at the White Sox.

Gibson (0-5) held the Yankees to three runs on six hits over 6.1 innings Thursday, but took another loss. He struck out four and walked a pair.
EDGE Analysis
This was a far sight better than Gibson's first start off the DL, and he deserved a better fate -- he left the game with two on and one out in the seventh inning, then reliever Fernando Abad promptly gave up a three-run homer that plated the inherited runners. Still, Gibson's low-strikeout, high-walk ways don't add up to a fantasy-friendly formula, making him a consideration strictly for adventurous AL-only owners and those in extremely deep mixed leagues.

Gibson (0-4) (shoulder) received a rude welcome upon his return from the DL on Saturday, as he was touched up for seven hits, five earned runs and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 15-4 loss to the Red Sox. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson managed to only throw 56 of 94 pitches for strikes, and induced only six swinging strikes overall. The 28-year-old righty picked up where he left off before his injury, which isn't a good thing. He'd been battered by the Nationals for seven earned runs over three innings back on April 22, and had the misfortune of drawing one of the most dangerous offenses in baseball in the form of the Red Sox in his first start back. Gibson got into early trouble by yielding an RBI double to Xander Bogaerts and a three-run homer to Jackie Bradley, Jr. in the first inning, but left the game in the sixth with the Twins trailing only 5-4. He'll try once more for his first win of the season against the Yankees next Thursday.
