Gibson (shoulder) is slated to be activated from the DL and start Saturday against the Red Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The original plan was for Gibson to return last week, but the club decided to exercise caution and have the righty make a rehab start at the Triple-A level before rejoining the team. He'll draw a tough matchup in his first start back against a potent Boston lineup, and it remains to be seen if he'll be held on any sort of pitch count or innings limit.

Gibson (shoulder) will be activated from the DL and start Thursday against the Rays, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson will take the rotation spot of Phil Hughes, who will be moved to the bullpen according to manager Paul Molitor.

Gibson (shoulder) had his scheduled bullpen session Sunday postponed as the Twins may give him a third minor league rehab outing while trying to figure out where he fits into the rotation, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has given up one run in 9.1 innings in two minor league starts. He may be ready to return, but the Twins had five starters perform well the past week and don't know who to drop from the rotation. Gibson may get another minor league start while the Twins figure out what roster move to make.

Gibson (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment Sunday at High-A Fort Myers, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was able to get through 45 pitches during his simulated game Thursday, which was the final step in his rehab before returning to game action. He'll take the ball Sunday at High-A Fort Myers on Sunday, but he'll need a few starts in order to stretch out his pitch count. With that in mind, Gibson should be on pace to for a return to the Twins' rotation in early-to-mid-June.

Gibson (shoulder) threw a 45-pitch side session Thursday and could begin a rehab assignment over the weekend, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday's 45-pitch session was another checkpoint in Gibson's recovery and he appears to be in line to set out on a rehab assignment in the near future. According to Berardino, Gibson will need a minimum of 2-to-3 starts on his rehab stint to build up his pitch count to where he can rejoin the Twins' rotation.
