Gibson (shoulder) will throw a 45-pitch bullpen session Monday, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has previously thrown two bullpen sessions without incident, so if his third one goes swimmingly, he'll likely be on track to throw live batting practice Thursday. After that, Gibson would require a rehab assignment in the minors before getting activated from the DL.

Gibson (shoulder) had a bullpen session Friday, but will likely need a few more sessions before he's ready for a minor league rehabilitation assignment, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since he'll likely need two outings or more on a rehab assignment, it doesn't look like he'll return before June.

Gibson (shoulder) threw a successful bullpen session Tuesday, Brian Murphy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
"So far he's doing good," general manager Terry Ryan said of Gibson, who is slated to get back onto the mound Friday for additional work. It sounds like Gibson is moving in the right direction, but he figures to need a couple live sessions and ultimately a minor league rehab assignment before receiving the green light to return to the majors.

Gibson (shoulder) has started light throwing, LaVelle Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear if the Twins are planning on a rehab assignment for Gibson once he's healthy enough to progress to game situations again, but it appears as though he'll miss more than the 15-day minimum with his current ailment.

Gibson (shoulder) could be out longer than the minimum 15 days on the DL, the Star Tribune's LaVelle Neal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins will be in no rush to get Gibson back, as they have begun a youth movement in the rotation, with Jose Berrios, Tyler Duffey and Alex Meyer all currently scheduled to pitch every fifth day. Gibson could still return in mid-May, and a rotation spot will likely be waiting for him, but the situation has become a lot murkier.

An MRI on Gibson's shoulder injury showed no structural damage, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. He'll go on a program of exercise and anti-inflammatory medication. "It's just kind of an awkward feeling when I get a ball in my hand," he said. "That's something doctors say should clear up pretty quickly."
EDGE Analysis
It sounds like there's a chance he could return in two weeks but an exact timetable isn't known. Still, it doesn't sound like an injury that will keep him out an extended period.

Gibson was placed on the DL with a shoulder injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson reported feeling soreness in his shoulder after his last time out when he was knocked around for seven runs over just three innings, and it's apparently enough to sideline him for at least two weeks. An exact timetable remains unclear at this point, but Jose Berrios figures to slot into the rotation with Gibson on the shelf.

Gibson will be scratched from his next scheduled start Wednesday, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not entirely clear what the issue is, but Gibson reported feeling sore following his last start. The Twins have promoted Jose Berrios, who is likely to take the start Wednesday in his stead, while Gibson could be skipped in the rotation this time around.

Gibson allowed seven runs on seven hits, walking two and striking out one while lasting just three innings in an 8-4 loss to the Nationals on Friday night.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson (0-3) struggled again, and has posted just one quality start in four outings to date. He was generally throwing strikes (43 strikes on 67 pitches) but he wasn't fooling anyone as his saw his ERA soar to an ugly 6.10 on the season. He'll try to get on track in his next start at home against Cleveland.
