Gibbons, who had missed 15 games, was pencilled in as the designated hitter and went 2-for-5 at the plate with one run scored and three strikeouts.
Gibbons, 29, injured his back, left hip and right knee as he dove for a fly ball off the bat of Vladimir Guerrero and crashed into the right-field wall during the eighth inning of a 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on May 26.
Guerrero rounded the bases for an inside-the-park home run that scored Orlando Cabrera ahead of him.
Gibbons is averaging .271 with 10 home runs, 29 runs batted in and 22 runs scored in 47 games this season, his sixth with the Orioles.
Gibbons is a career .262 hitter with 112 HRs, 360 RBIs and 308 runs in 652 MLB games since debuting for Baltimore on April 6, 2001.
