Kyle Gibson News: Picked up by Rays

Gibson agreed to a minor-league contract with the Rays on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Before being cut loose by the Orioles last week, Gibson labored over his four starts with the big club, turning in a 16.78 ERA and 2.92 WHIP over 12.1 innings. The veteran right-hander will get a fresh start with Tampa Bay, though he'll first need to show improved performance at Triple-A Durham before getting another look at the big-league level.
