Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson took the mound later than expected on Thursday, but if it affected him, he sure didn't pitch like it. While Tampa Bay Rays starter Blake Snell barely lasted three innings after a two-hour rain delay, Gibson was absolutely dominant through eight innings. He got into one jam the entire game — in the very first inning — before breezing through the Rays lineup the rest of his outing. The Rays had come into Thursday's matchup averaging over six runs a game during a five-game win streak. Gibson shut all that down during the course of eight innings where he allowed one run on five hits, struck out nine and walked none. The veteran is now sporting a 3.42 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP, and with the trade deadline nearing he's definitely raised his value. Fantasy players might do well to grab Gibson off the waiver wire before the All-Star break — if he's still available.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson is scheduled to be on the mound on Thursday to face the Tampa Bay Rays. While the matchup looks solid on paper, a closer look reveals that Gibson might get into some trouble. First off, the Rays have been on fire during a five-game win streak — and they started off the month of July by completing a sweep of the defending champion Houston Astros. They've averaged a little over six runs during that win streak. Secondly, the Rays already beat the veteran once this season, as evidenced by their 10-1 thrashing of Gibson and the Twins back in April. Lastly, Gibson has been somewhat predictable in 2018; he'll pitch a great game, followed by a couple of so-so outings with an ugly one thrown in between. He pitched very well against the Orioles in his last start, so if we're to follow history he might be due for a rough one on Thursday. Gibson will probably get his fair share of strikeouts against the Rays, but fantasy players should tread lightly with him on Thursday.

Gibson (3-6) fired seven strong innings to earn the win over the Orioles on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out nine.

Gibson was charged with four runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Monday.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson was not at his best on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. His offense didn't help him much, either, getting shut out by James Shields and the Sox bullpen until the ninth inning. In total, Gibson went seven innings, allowed 11 hits, five runs, and struck out seven. He threw 113 pitches — his second-highest total this season. It's seeming more and more like Twins pitchers not named Jose Berrios are good for five-plus strikeouts but will probably get hit for more than a few runs in the process. They're also not receiving great run support either. Gibson will get a stiff test against the bruising Milwaukee Brewers in his next start.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson took his fifth loss of the season Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander didn't pitch badly at all, but he suffered under a lack of offense and lack of support from his bullpen. Gibson got into a bases-loaded jam in the top of the fifth inning after a solo home run by Mookie Betts, but prevented any further damage. He pitched six innings, allowed two runs, seven hits, and struck out five batters. Unfortunately for Gibson, the Red Sox broke the game open in the last three innings of the game, battering the Twins bullpen for nine hits and seven more runs. Without their two hottest bats — Eddie Rosario (shoulder) and Eduardo Escobar (elbow) — the Twins could barely muster any offense the entire game. Gibson will have to hope for better results — and better support overall — in his next start against the Chicago White Sox, where he will be an intriguing streaming option.

Gibson gave up just one run over seven innings with four walks and three strikeouts to improve to 2-4 in Friday's win over Cleveland.

Minnesota Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson turned in another strong performance on Saturday. Gibson held the Los Angeles Angels to two runs over seven innings of work, striking out five and walking two but he took the loss as his offense only gave him one run of support. Gibson now has a 1-4 record, 3.45 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 78 strikeouts in 75 2/3 innings of work. The right-hander has pitched well this season but his performance has gone under the radar because he only has one win, mostly due to bad luck. He is worth adding as a back-end fantasy starter in all leagues.

Gibson walked two and struck out seven in the no-decision. Gibson is putting together a true breakout season in 2018, posting a 1-3 record, 3.54 ERA, and 73 strikeouts in 12 starts. While he isn't getting the job done in the games won department, he's shaping up as a useful fantasy producer in the other categories. He's worth a roster spot as a back-end starting pitcher in most leagues.

The veteran allowed just one earned run over 4 1/3 innings of work, allowing seven hits and striking out three.

Minnesota Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson turned in a solid first start of the 2018 season, holding the Baltimore Orioles scoreless over six innings. Gibson didn't allow a hit, but he did issue five walks in the game while striking out six. The wildness prevented Gibson from being able to try for the no-hitter as he found the strike zone with just 56 of his 102 pitches. Despite the solid start, exercise caution with Gibson in fantasy leagues as he hasn't been a very trustworthy fantasy option over his career. He will look to keep it going in his next start against the Seattle Mariners.
