2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gibson led the American League East-winning Orioles with 15 wins and 192 innings in 2023, but his 4.73 ERA and 157 strikeouts certainly left something to be desired. He ranked 10th in the AL with 17 quality starts, but too many blowup outings led to the bloated ERA. Gibson has made at least 29 starts in six straight seasons (the shortened 2020 season not included), making him a durable workhorse. He's posted an ERA below last year's 4.73 mark on just two occasions during that span, though, and his strikeout rate over the last three seasons has dipped below 20 percent. Gibson has developed a legitimate weapon with his sweeper, a pitch he began throwing at the tail-end of 2022 and in 2023 watched it induce whiffs at a 46.7 percent rate. The rest of his arsenal, though, is suspect. Busch Stadium is a good landing spot for Gibson, although it won't necessarily help his home run issues since Busch has been a tick more homer-friendly since Camden Yards changed its dimensions.

Fires six frames in loss
Gibson (1-2) took the loss against Arizona on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two batters over six innings.
ANALYSIS
Gibson fell behind 1-0 in the first frame but rebounded with four consecutive scoreless innings. However, he saw a quality start slip away in the sixth when Lourdes Gurriel's three-run homer gave the Diamondbacks a 4-1 lead. Gibson has provided a solid workload for St. Louis so far this season, going at least six innings in each of his three starts. However, his record now sits at 1-2, and his 6.16 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB over 19 frames aren't going to make any waves in fantasy circles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not playing in Toronto
Gibson is among four Phillies that won't feature in the two-game series against the Blue Jays due to their vaccination status, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Gibson joins a list that also includes Alec Bohm, Aaron Nola and J.T. Realmuto, and all four players will be moved to the restricted list. Gibson made his most recent start Saturday against the Cardinals and wasn't expected to pitch in Toronto either way. He should be activated Friday and make his final start before the All-Star break in the weekend series against the Marlins.

Gibson's pitch-to-contact approach always seemed dicey at a hitter-friendly park like the one the Phillies call home, and that's how things played out during his time with the team. He produced a 5.09 ERA in 12 appearances after his midseason move in 2021 and followed that up with a similar 5.05 ERA in 31 starts last season. His ERA estimators, such as his 3.94 xFIP and 4.06 SIERA, suggested that he deserved significantly better, and he actually did manage a far better 4.08 ERA through the end of August before getting blown up for a 9.73 ERA across his final six outings. He also managed a career-best 6.7 BB%. He found a good landing spot in the offseason, signing a one-year deal with Baltimore, where the home park was the 24th-most hitter-friendly park in the league last year, according to Baseball Savant. Gibson should have enough job security to eat innings and be a solid home streaming option.
