Ian Gibaut To Throw First Bullpen On July 16
4 months agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Ian Gibaut (forearm) will throw his first bullpen session on Tuesday, July 16, and could be back with the team in the middle of August. Gibaut hasn't pitched at all this year and had anterior interosseous nerve-release surgery back in early May. It's good news that the 30-year-old reliever is getting close to throwing off a mound again, but he still has a lot of boxes to check and will eventually need to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment until he rejoins the major-league bullpen. Gibaut could help Cincy's bullpen down the stretch, though, after he went 8-4 with a 3.33 ERA (4.07 FIP), a 1.28 WHIP, a career-high three saves, a career-high 69 strikeouts and 28 walks in 75 2/3 innings of relief.
