Kyle Gibson is listed as the Twins' starter for Tuesday's game versus the Orioles, while Samuel Deduno, Vance Worley and Scott Diamond aren't listed for any more Grapefruit League starts. Gibson is currently lined up like he'll be the club's No. 5 starter, though the Twins have yet to officially come out an say he's won the job. The right-hander has certainly earned it, posting a 2.70 ERA over 13 1/3 innings this spring. Both Worley and Diamond are out of options, so it will be interesting to see what the Twins do with their roster.

Kyle Gibson allowed one run in 4 1/3 innings and struck out four Wednesday in his start against the Cardinals. Gibson has been effective in three of his four outings and he wasn't all that bad in the either, so his ERA currently sits at 2.70.

It seems like quite a long shot.

This is more or less a phantom injury designed to shut Gibson down for the season because he reached his predetermined innings limit. The rookie right-hander posted an ugly 6.53 ERA and 29/20 K/BB ratio in 51 innings across his first 10 starts in the majors, but is a better-than-average bet to open next season in Minnesota's rotation.

The rookie right-hander posted an ugly 6.53 ERA and 29/20 K/BB ratio in 51 innings across his first 10 starts in the majors.

In his last four, he's given up seven homers, which his ERA remaining almost entirely unchanged at 6.43.
