Records another quality start Gibson allowed two runs on four hits, striking out five and walking two over six innings in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Giants. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact The righty has now achieved a quality start in 10 of his 12 starts this season, and has not yielded more than three runs in any outing since his opening day debacle. Gibson's 2.13 ERA, slightly inflated by Wednesday's performance, remains the lowest among qualified American League starters. With two off-days upcoming for the Rangers, Gibson is scheduled to start next Wednesday in Houston.

Next start pushed Gibson will not pitch against the Dodgers in Los Angeles next weekend, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact The Rangers want to avoid having Gibson, who is coming off a groin injury, swinging the bat and potentially running the bases. As such, his next start will come after the weekend series in Los Angeles, which likely pushes him until the following Tuesday at Houston.

Activated ahead of start Gibson (groin) was activated off the injured list as expected ahead of his scheduled start Friday against the Rays.
Impact Gibson wound up missing two weeks with a strained right groin. He was having a strong season prior to the injury, cruising to a 2.24 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 10 starts, though it took a .234 BABIP to get him there. His 20.1 percent strikeout rate is above his career average (18.2 percent) but remains well below the league-average mark of 24.1 percent. Wes Benjamin was optioned in a corresponding move.

"It's just a really good plan I've been feeling really good." Before going down with a groin strain, Gibson was 3-0 with a 2.24 ERA while holding opponents to a .193 average over 60.1 innings.
