Just a few days after helping the Minnesota Twins to a win over the Detroit Tigers, starting pitcher Kyle Gibson is headed to Triple-A.
The Twins optioned the right-hander to Rochester on Tuesday, hours after acquiring lefty Jaime Garcia in a trade with the Atlanta Braves.
Gibson worked 7 1/3 innings in his most recent appearance for the Twins, allowing five hits and three earned runs.
The start dropped his ERA — which sat at 6.29 before the game — to 6.08 through 18 starts.
At this point, it’s unclear when Gibson will get another shot.
