The Twins have shut down prospect pitcher Kyle Gibson for the season, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports Monday.
Gibson threw 152 2/3 innings between Minnesota and Triple-A Rochester. Gibson struggled in the majors, as he gave up a 6.53 ERA with 29 strikeouts against 20 walks in 51 innings. He was excellent in the minors, however, as he posted a 2.92 ERA with 87 strikeouts in 101 2/3 innings. He'll compete for a rotation spot next season.
