The Reds reinstated Gibaut (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Gibaut will be back in the Cincinnati bullpen after he had missed nearly a month while working his way back from a right shoulder impingement. The right-hander is likely to operate in a middle-relief role after he logged a 5.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB in 11.2 innings with the Reds prior to landing on the shelf.

Reds' Ian Gibaut: Blows surprise save opportunity
Rotowire
Gibaut (0-1) was charged with the loss and a blown save Thursday against the Giants after giving up four runs on three hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.
Gibaut was literally the last pitcher added to the Reds' roster after Alexis Diaz (hamstring) was placed on the IL earlier this week, so it was a major surprise he was called upon for the save Opening Day. It's noteworthy that potential fill-in closers Scott Barlow, Emilio Pagan and Tony Santillan pitched the sixth-through-eighth innings, but that still left Taylor Rogers and Graham Ashcraft available. Gibaut had a 3.33 ERA and 23 holds in 74 outings for Cincinnati in 2023, but he has a 4.33 ERA in his MLB career and isn't likely to see consistent high-leverage opportunities.

Ian Gibaut: No contract from Reds
Rotowire
Gibaut was non-tendered by the Reds on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Gibaut battled both forearm and calf injuries that sidelined him for the majority of the 2024 season. He did return to make two appearances in the big leagues. Gibaut may have to settle for a non-roster invitation to spring training, but he should have the chance to contribute to a major-league roster at some point in 2025.

Rotowire
Gibaut (forearm/calf) has resumed throwing but is doing so at less than full effort, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Rotowire
Reds manager David Bell said Gibaut underwent anterior interosseous nerve release surgery on his right arm Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
