Orioles No. 4 Prospect Trey Gibson in the Mix to Earn MLB Promotion?
Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Trey Gibson, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is with the team on the taxi squad on Tuesday and could be ready to make his big-league debut, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. The O's have their starter for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays listed as TBA, so Gibson could make that start. The 24-year-old made his major-league debut earlier this season and allowed four earned runs on seven hits (two homers) while walking three and striking out four in 6 2/3 innings pitched in just two outings (one start). If Gibson ends up making his second career start for Baltimore this week, fantasy managers searching for a streamer should avoid him against the first-place Rays at Camden Yards. He's a power pitcher at 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, and he's gone 2-4 at Triple-A Norfolk in eight starts (31 2/3 frames) while posting a 3.69 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, and 32:18 K:BB. Gibson is not rostered in any Yahoo leagues and could be heading right back to Norfolk on Thursday if he makes a spot start on Wednesday.
