Orioles Call Up Gibson to Face Yankees

The 6-foot-5 right-hander, ranked Baltimore's No. 3 prospect by MLB.com and Baseball America, was called up from Triple-A Norfolk where he has a 4.01 ERA in six starts this season with 25 strikeouts and 12 walks in 24 2/3 innings. Gibson, 23, was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2023 out of Liberty University and possesses power-pitcher stuff with a four-seamer that can reach the high 90s. ipltable.lol

The move is necessary as the Orioles continue to deal with injuries to Trevor Rogers (illness), Dean Kremer (quad) and Zach Eflin (elbow), with 12 players currently on the injured list. Baltimore enters Saturday's matchup at 15-17, six games out of first place in the AL East.
