Mizzou Baseball in the Minors: Gibson rehabs

♦ Twins' minor league pitcher begins rehab (Greenfield Daily Reporter)

February, 2013. Near the middle of that month, the Minnesota Twins’ pitchers and catchers will report to their spring training facility in Fort Myers, Florida. Kyle Gibson intends to be part of that group, battling for a spot in the Twins’ big-league rotation.

For now, his right arm — his pitching arm — is wrapped in a brace, and the Greenfield-Central graduate won’t throw a baseball for at least four months.

“Setbacks happen in everybody’s career at some point,” Gibson said. “Most likely this won’t be the last (disabled list) stint of my career. This is just another obstacle to work around.

“My goal is to be ready by the beginning of August for some rehab games. I’d like to get 30-40 innings, whether it’s in winter ball or a fall league and start working on getting my command, which will be the big challenge. And then be ready to go for spring training 2013, and really compete.”
