Fantasy Impact

He allowed four earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two over six innings. This performance continues a concerning trend for Gibson, allowing four or more runs for the second consecutive start on the mound for the Cardinals. Fantasy managers will be better served looking for more reliable starting options while Gibson attempts to turn things around on the mound as the season continues.

Cardinals right-hander Kyle Gibson was roughed up in a loss to the Marlins on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran surrendered seven earned runs on seven hits, including two homers, with one walk and five strikeouts in six innings of work. It was a disappointing effort against a struggling Marlins team as his ERA has risen to 6.23 through two starts.

In a disheartening outing against the Marlins, Kyle Gibson's performance left much to be desired, as he allowed seven earned runs over six innings in a 10-3 loss for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Despite managing to strike out five batters, Gibson's inability to limit the damage on seven hits and a walk significantly inflated his ERA to 6.23 from an already concerning figure. This outing marks a setback in what has been a rocky start to the season, with his WHIP slightly misleading at 1.08 due to a low BABIP of .200, suggesting some luck has been involved in his previous performances. The stark increase in his ERA, coupled with a FIP of 6.56, indicates underlying issues that could continue to plague Gibson if not addressed. This performance casts a shadow over Gibson's reliability as a fantasy starter, and managers might want to consider benching him until he shows signs of improvement.

Kyle Gibson allowed four hits, two walks, and two earned runs in seven innings Monday. He struck out four Padres’ batters to earn his first win of the season.

Fantasy Impact

The Cardinals have signed SP Kyle Gibson to a one-year contract with a 2025 club option.

Fantasy Impact

Gibson finished the 2023 season with a 15-9 record, 4.73 ERA, and a 1.32 WHIP in 192 innings with Baltimore. The veteran right-hander is a solid bottom of the rotation option for the Cardinals and will provide the team with an option to eat innings and save their bullpen.
