Gets Opening Day nod Gibson will start on Opening Day against the Royals.

Impact This has more to do with the state of the Rangers' roster than the talent of Gibson, as he would be more of a No. 3 or No. 4 starter on most teams. He reportedly added a cutter after utilizing five different pitches last season, so Gibson will enter 2021 with one of the deeper repertoires in the game. However, he logged a 5.35 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 67.1 innings in 2020.

Working on cutter Gibson added a cutter over the offseason, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gibson already had a rather full repertoire, throwing four pitches (a four-seam fastball, sinker, changeup and slider) all at least 14 percent of the time last year while also working in the occasional curveball. He might need a new weapon to stay relevant heading into his age-33 season, as he's coming off a year in which he struggled to a 5.35 ERA, his worst mark since his debut back in 2013. Of course, it's far too soon to say whether or not the cutter will actually make him a better pitcher, but it could provide a reason to believe in him should he look like a better pitcher in his first few starts.

Likely Opening Day starter Gibson is the likely Opening Day starter for Texas, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gibson is an unlikely No. 1 starter, particularly after posting a 5.35 ERA in 2020. He's never thrown more than 200 innings in any season and averaged 173 innings over six seasons as a full-time starter for the Twins.

Calamity, inches, masterpiece: Kyle Gibson's shutout important even in lost year Gibson's adjustment on the mound isn't going to salvage the Rangers' season but maybe it could help them in the future.

Fires complete-game shutout Gibson (2-5) earned the win against the Astros on Wednesday after firing nine scoreless innings. He struck out nine while allowing four hits and three walks.

Impact Gibson's dominant performance stumped the Astros and rewarded him with his first career shutout across 198 games. The right-hander threw 74 of 114 pitches for strikes and whiffed a season-high tying nine batters en route to his first complete game since 2016 against the Braves. The brilliant outing came as a surprise after Gibson had given up 10 hits on five runs during his last start against the Angels. Gibson will carry a 5.18 ERA and 1.52 WHIP into a Monday matchup at Angel Stadium.
