Kyle Gibson Fantasy Stats

Free-agent starting pitcher Kyle Gibson has announced that he is retiring from professional baseball on Thursday. Most recently, Gibson pitched in Triple-A with the Tampa Bay Rays before opting out of his deal in mid-June. Gibson pitched well during his stint with the Rays, but he wasn't able to draw any interest from other organizations. Now, Gibson has decided to retire after 13 seasons in the big leagues. He won 112 games with a 4.60 ERA, 1.39 WHIP over 334 appearances with five different organizations. Most notably, Gibson earned an All-Star nod during the 2021 season with the Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers. He posted a 3.71 ERA that season across 31 appearances. It was a good career for Gibson and best of luck to him on whatever is next in his life.

Veteran free-agent right-hander Kyle Gibson is signing an undisclosed deal with the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman. Gibson lands on his feet quickly after being released recently by the Baltimore Orioles after just four starts in which he held a brutal 16.78 ERA and 2.92 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and seven walks in 12 1/3 innings of work. The 13-year-old major-league veteran will now latch on with the sixth team in his career as he hopes to keep his playing days going. Tampa's five-man starting rotation is already full with Ryan Pepiot, Taj Bradley, Drew Rasmussen, Shane Baz and Zack Littell, but Gibson could become an option for the team if any of them go down with an injury. For now, Gibson is only worth stashing in deep AL-only leagues with an outside change of making more starts in 2025.

The Baltimore Orioles released right-hander Kyle Gibson on Tuesday after he cleared waivers, according to The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich. The O's signed the veteran hurler for $5.25 million this spring, but now he's a free agent again after the organization designated him for assignment over the weekend. Gibson did not look good in his four starts with the team before being cut, going 0-3 with a 16.78 ERA (10.56 FIP) and 2.92 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and seven walks in 12 1/3 innings pitched. He allowed 23 earned runs on 29 hits, including a whopping seven home runs. The 37-year-old veteran will now look to latch on with another organization on a minor-league deal, but other teams might be hesitant to do so after he was absolutely destroyed in his four starts with Baltimore.

The Baltimore Orioles have designated starting pitcher Kyle Gibson for assignment. Gibson has had a rough start to the campaign. Through his first 12 1/3 innings of work, the veteran right-hander has posted a hefty 16.78 ERA with a 2.92 WHIP. He has tallied just 10 punchouts and served up walks at a high 9.6% rate. In his most recent outing on Saturday against the Washington Nationals, Gibson tallied just two outs and allowed six hits, six runs, and one walk. Last season, the 37-year-old held his own with St. Louis, posting a 4.24 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP across 169 2/3 innings of work. However, given his disappointing start to the 2025 campaign, the struggling Orioles decided to cut ties with him. This could open a path for Charlie Morton or Keegan Akin to return to the rotation.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Gibson (0-1) made his season debut Tuesday night but struggled significantly in the 15-3 loss to the New York Yankees. He allowed nine earned runs on 11 hits, including five home runs, and was pulled before finishing the fourth inning. The Bronx Bombers jumped on the 37-year-old early, launching back-to-back-to-back home runs in the first. His rough outing only adds to the concerns for a Baltimore rotation that has struggled to find consistency early in the season. Gibson will look to rebound in his next scheduled start on Tuesday on the road against the Minnesota Twins.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Gibson (back) will make his 2025 season debut and start on Tuesday at Camden Yards against the division-rival New York Yankees, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Gibson will be cleared to make his season debut against a tough opponent despite dealing with some minor back tightness in his final start in the minor leagues with High-A Aberdeen. After signing with Baltimore late in spring training, the 37-year-old veteran stayed in the minors to build up his arm at the start of the 2025 season. In his three starts with Aberdeen and Triple-A Norfolk, he allowed six runs (five earned) on 10 hits while walking two and striking out 13 in 12 innings. Gibson's first start against the Yankees this week won't be the time to jump right in and stream him in fantasy, but he can be an innings-eater and streamer in AL-only leagues now that he has rejoined the O's rotation.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Gibson (back) said he dealt with some back tightness in his last minor-league rehab start with High-A Aberdeen on Sunday, but it's nothing serious and he's still ready to join the big-league rotation in Baltimore. Gibson allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit while walking two and striking out five in five innings of work for Aberdeen on Easter Sunday. In his three rehab outings to this point (two with Triple-A Norfolk), the 37-year-old veteran has given up six runs (five earned) on 10 hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out 13 in 12 innings pitched. Although Gibson feels ready to make his 2025 debut in the majors, it's unclear if the Orioles want to see him make one more rehab start in the minors first. Gibson has been durable the last three years, but he won't offer much fantasy upside outside of AL-only formats when he's back with Baltimore.

In his third minor-league start on Sunday, Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Gibson went five innings and allowed two runs (one earned) while allowing a solo home run, walking two and striking out five to pick up a win for High-A Aberdeen. Gibson isn't injured, but he opened the 2025 season in the minors to build up his arm after not appearing in any spring training games after signing with Baltimore late. The 37-year-old veteran has now allowed six runs (five earned) on 10 hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out 13 in 12 innings over his three starts (two with Triple-A Norfolk). He was able to throw 51 of his 78 pitches on Easter Sunday for strikes, and he could only need one more minor-league tune-up before the Orioles are ready to have him join the big-league roster. When he joins Baltimore's rotation, he'll be an innings-eater for those in AL-only fantasy leagues at the very least.

Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson logged 47 innings during his first start of the season with Triple-A Norfolk. Gibson pitched three 1/3 innings and allowed one run with three hits. He struck out four. Gibson signed a contract with the Orioles late in the spring and still needs time to increase his workload. However, with Zach Eflin (lat) hitting the injured list, the Orioles may promote Gibson to the majors sooner than previously expected. Last season, the 37-year-old logged 169 2/3 innings with the Cardinals and posted a 4.24 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran to have a spot in the rotation once he is cleared to report to Baltimore. When he does return to the big leagues, he will have value in 15+ team formats as a high-floor option.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said on Monday that right-hander Kyle Gibson will spend April ramping up with the goal of joining the starting rotation "somewhere around" May 1. Gibson had already built up to 50 to 70 pitches before signing with Baltimore during spring training, but the O's have a specific plan for him. The team officially optioned the 37-year-old veteran to minor-league camp on Monday. Gibson is going to be stretched out as a starter with Grayson Rodriguez, Tyler Wells, and Kyle Bradish all opening the year on the injured list due to elbow injuries, but it remains to be seen if there will be a rotation spot for Gibson by the time the Orioles believe he's ready to join their active roster. After signing a one-year, $5.25 million deal, Gibson, who has made 30 starts in three straight seasons, should have a good shot at making starts for Baltimore. He could be worth a bench stash in AL-only leagues.
