Kyle Gibson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.
