Dominates D-backs Gibson hit a batter and struck out six over four scoreless innings in Wednesday's spring game against the Diamondbacks. Impact After Gibson hit Tim Locastro with a pitch to start the game, he didn't allow another baserunner other than an error by third baseman Rougned Odor. Gibson was pleased with his cutter, which he added to his arsenal during the offseason, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. It helped produce seven groundouts (zero flyouts). "I'm not throwing cutters just to throw them anymore," he said. "I'm using them when it makes sense to against a hitter." The Rangers' new-minted Opening Day starter looked in fine form Wednesday, but his long track record of regular-season mediocrity means fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach.
