After dealing with the ramifications of ulcerative colitis and being placed on the IL because of the ailment, Minnesota Twins starter Kyle Gibson will be back on the hill tonight to face the Washington Nationals.

He had a 7.18 ERA in his five starts before landing on the list after he got shelled against the Detroit Tigers on August 30th.
Gibson has reportedly thrown two bullpen sessions since then and hasn’t dealt with any issues as a result.
