Baltimore Orioles manager Craig Albernaz announced Saturday that prospect Trey Gibson will take the mound for his first major league appearance Sunday when the team faces the New York Yankees.
The 23-year-old right-handed pitcher gets his opportunity due to several injuries plaguing Baltimore’s starting rotation. Left-hander Trevor Rogers was placed on the injured list earlier this week due to illness, while right-hander Dean Kremer remains sidelined with a quad injury. Additionally, starter Zach Eflin is done for the year after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.
Gibson’s promotion comes after spending four years developing in the minor league system. This season with Triple-A Norfolk, he has compiled a 2-2 record with a 5.84 ERA across six starting assignments.
The young pitcher joined the Orioles organization in 2023 as an undrafted free agent following two collegiate seasons at Liberty University. MLB Pipeline currently ranks Gibson as Baltimore’s third-best prospect in their farm system.
