Orioles Prospect Trey Gibson Debuts in Bronx, Holds Yankees to Three Over 4 2/3

Injury losses forced Baltimore to start the undrafted right-hander, leaving his next assignment uncertain.

Overview

  • Trey Gibson, who debuted Sunday at Yankee Stadium, allowed three runs over 4 2/3 innings with two strikeouts in an 11-3 Orioles loss.
  • The righty gave up solo and two-run homers to Ben Rice and Aaron Judge and left after a two-out walk to Judge in the fifth.
  • Baltimore turned to Gibson because the rotation is short, with Trevor Rogers out sick, Dean Kremer sidelined by a quad strain, and Zach Eflin lost for the season after Tommy John surgery.
  • He showed the broad arsenal that made him a top prospect, leaning on a six-pitch mix around 93–94 mph and retiring six straight hitters during a steady middle stretch.
  • The club has not said if he will get another start, as six starters are currently active and Rogers can return from the injured list on May 11 after Gibson’s rapid rise from signing as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and posting a 4.01 ERA at Triple-A this year.
