    Orioles optioned RHP Trey Gibson to the Florida Complex League Orioles.

    Gibson delivered a brilliant effort in his final start of the season on Wednesday, blanking the Blue Jays for 6 2/3 innings in the second game of their doubleheader. Since he wasn’t going to pitch again this season though, the O’s decided to swap him out for an extra bullpen arm in Albert Suarez.

    It was going to be seven scoreless innings, but the Blue Jays challenged the final play of the seventh because second baseman Jeremiah Jackson’s heel was on the grass at the start of the play. That got Sean Keys awarded first base. Gibson had to return to the mound after going to the dugout, walked the next guy on four pitches and was lifted. Fortunately, Yennier Cano did strand the two runners. Gibson entered with a 7.36 ERA in seven starts and one relief appearance, but he got that down to 6.13 tonight. That has to make him feel better about things heading towards the offseason.

    Gibson draws the starting assignment for the nightcap of Wednesday’s twin bill against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. He’ll try to keep Baltimore’s slim playoff hopes alive for at least a few more hours. The 24-year-old former top pitching prospect has struggled to a bloated 7.36 ERA across 33 innings at the highest level this season.

    Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt were set to face off tonight. They’ll instead pitch Wednesday now. Trey Gibson was expected to be called up to start for the Orioles on Wednesday, though that hadn’t yet been officially announced.

    Gibson allowed 22 runs in 20 2/3 innings with the Orioles in the month of June. With Dean Kremer (quad) back from the injured list, Gibson was no longer needed in the MLB rotation
  • BAL Starting Pitcher
    Gibson gave up two homers, five other hits and six walks in his worst outing to date. Since being recalled on June 8, he’s allowed 22 runs in 20 2/3 innings, with the Orioles losing all five of his starts. One would think he’ll be sent down after this to make room for the returning Dean Kremer.

    With the Orioles off Thursday, Gibson was pulled after just 66 pitches today. It worked out initially, as the bullpen maintained a 5-2 lead until the eighth, but things went bad afterwards in what turned out to be a 7-6 loss in 10 innings. Gibson remained 1-2 with a 5.63 ERA through six starts and one relief appearance. He’s due to face the White Sox next week.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher
    Gibson allows seven hits, and he also issued four walks. .Despite that traffic, there were some real flashes of the 24-year-old’s potential in this game, and he was able to escape some jams thanks to the punchouts. Gibson isn’t ready for primetime just yet and even this outing was closer to mediocre than dominant, but it’s easy to see why many believe Gibson is the best pitching prospect in Baltimore’s system. He pitches in Los Angeles again Wednesday, but that start will come against the Angels.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher
    Gibson was tagged for four runs in a calamitous opening frame, which included two-run homers by Jackson Merrill and Samad Taylor. The 24-year-old pitching prospect managed to get out of the frame without any further damage and saved Baltimore’s bullpen by working into the fifth. He was all over the place from a command standpoint, managing to punch out a season-high seven, while also handing out five walks. It’s unclear whether he’ll get another turn in the rotation, but that’ll depend on whether Chris Bassitt (back) is ready to take the ball next week.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher
    Gibson drew the starting assignment in place of an injured Chris Bassitt (back) and managed to keep Baltimore within striking distance into the middle innings. He failed to record a strikeout and issued one walk. He carried a shutout into the fifth inning before finally giving up a run and departing with a pair of runners on-base. Unfortunately, reliever Anthony Nunez walked Julio Rodríguez before coughing up a grand slam to Josh Naylor that ostensibly put this one away for good. Gibson is an interesting long-term prospect, but he holds a pedestrian 4.24 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 5/8 K/BB ratio across 17 innings this season. He’ll get the ball against the struggling Padres on Saturday if he stays in Baltimore’s rotation.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher
    Gibson is one of the more intriguing young arms in the game but he’s posted a 3.65 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 5/7 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings at the highest level this season. The 24-year-old prospect is not a recommended streaming option against the Blue Jays in a challenging road matchup in Canada.

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Aaron Judge is “not quite there yet” in his recovery from a calf strain.

    Boone added that the determination to leave Judge off the club’s AL Wild Card Series roster was made after meeting with trainers following a live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium on Monday. The 34-year-old franchise cornerstone told reporters last week that he was planning to be ready for the start of the postseason, but that always felt a bit unrealistic after he suffered a calf strain back on September 16. It sounds like there’s a decent chance that Judge returns for the AL Division Series, if New York manages to get past the Red Sox. There should be some additional clarity on his next steps later this week.

    Ozzie Albies hit an RBI triple in a win over the Phillies on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.

    Albies just missed a homer, but Derek Hill was able to keep the ball in the park. The 29-year-old also drew a walk, and scored on Austin Riley’s go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning.

    J.T. Realmuto hit a two-run triple in Tuesday’s Game 1 loss to Atlanta in the Wild Card Series.

    Realmuto lined a ball into the right-field corner off Didier Fuentes that scored a pair of runs in the seventh that gave Philadelphia a 3-2 lead. Unfortunately for Realmuto and the Phillies, that lead would not last. The 35-year-old will be behind the plate in a must-win Game 2 against Atlanta on Wednesday.

    Jhoan Duran allowed three runs in two innings in a loss to Atlanta in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series on Tuesday.

    Duran came in to pitch the seventh and eighth as interim manager Don Mattingly looked to cement a Game 1 win. He did the job in the seventh, but the 28-year-old gave up a hit and a hit-by-pitch before leaving a pitch in the middle of the plate to Austin Riley that Riley hit out to right field. Duran also threw 27 pitches, so while he’ll likely be available for Wednesday’s must-win game, it’s not a guarantee. Duran is one of the best relievers in the sport, but it wasn’t his day, and it’s fair to wonder if his manager put himself in the best position to succeed Tuesday.

    Raisel Iglesias worked a scoreless ninth inning to pick up a save against the Phillies on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.

    Iglesias allowed a leadoff single, but it was erased by a double play, and a fly ball to left gave Atlanta the critical Game 1 win. He needed just seven pitches, so there’s no doubt he’ll be ready to roll if necessary for Game 2 come Wednesday.

    Austin Riley hit a go-ahead three-run homer to lead Atlanta to a 5-3 win over the Phillies on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.

    With two runners on and two outs, Riley launched an opposite-field homer off Jhoan Duran to give Atlanta the lead and the victory. The 29-year-old was awful in the regular season and hasn’t been an elite hitter for the past few years, but he now has his team one game away from advancing to the NLDS against the Dodgers. The Phillies and Atlanta will play again Wednesday with Cristopher Sanchez squaring off against Tyler Mahle.

    Chris Sale struck out nine over 6 1/3 innings while allowing three runs in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.

    Sale allowed just one run while he was in the game, but a pair scored in the seventh after he exited on a two-run triple by J.T. Realmuto. The left-hander was so much better than this line suggests while generating 22 swings-and-misses with 16 of those coming on his slider. Sale remains one of the best starters in baseball — although with more volatility because of durability at age 37 — and if Atlanta can’t come from behind and win, he’ll be the ace of the staff again to start 2027.

    Jesús Luzardo threw five innings of one-run baseball in a no-decision versus Atlanta in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series on Tuesday.

    So much for being the “opener. " Luzardo was able to throw 77 pitches, and outside of a scuffle in the second inning where he allowed his lone run, he was outstanding. The left-hander allowed just three hits, walked one and whiffed six while throwing 48-of-77 pitches for strikes. He generated a solid 11 swings-and-misses while averaging 96.6 mph; down ever-so-slightly from his average heater. If all checks out well and Philadelphia advances, he should be just fine for the NLDS against the Dodgers.

    Red Sox manager Chad Tracy told reporters Romy Gonzalez is recovering from a hyperextended elbow.

    Tracy added that Gonzalez is “very much in play” for the remainder of the postseason after suffering the injury towards the end of the regular season at Triple-A Worcester. The fact that he’s still a little banged up is presumably why he wasn’t added to Boston’s postseason roster as a bench option against left-handed pitching.
