Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (finger) exited early during Sunday's contest against the Boston Red Sox. He was removed in the third inning due to what appears to be a cut on his middle finger. This doesn't sound like something that is going to limit Gausman going forward. Gausman should be fine for his next start, which is likely going to be in the playoffs.

Gausman took a no-decision but pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with seven strikeouts. Gausman has now been a high-end fantasy starter for three straight seasons, going 12-10 with a 3.30 ERA and 10.54 K/9 rate through 30 starts.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman wasn't at his sharpest on Thursday despite his team emerging victorious in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Red Sox. The right-hander tied his season-high by giving up nine hits over five innings, but was able to limit the damage to four runs since eight of the hits were singles. Gausman was able to punch out six batters without issuing a free pass as he now sits with a 155/22 K/BB and a 3.15 ERA through 134 1/3 IP in his first season north of the border. He'll look to rebound when the Cubs come to town next week for an interleague series.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman had an excellent bounce-back start in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rays. Gausman pitched 8 shutout innings, allowing one hit and one walk with 10 strikeouts. This was an encouraging sign for fantasy managers, as Gausman had not pitched well overall coming back from the All-Star break. Despite his recent scuffles, the 31-year-old still has an 8-8 record with a 3.06 ERA and 10.64 K/9 rate through 20 starts this season. He will look to turn in another strong start on the road against the Twins.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) returned to mound on Thursday and allowed two runs over six innings in a 3-1 loss to the Royals. Facing a lackluster Kansas City lineup, the right-hander allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out six in the 88-pitch performance as his record dropped to 6-7 on the season. Gausman gave up both runs in the fifth on an RBI single to Edward Olivares and a solo homer to Bobby Witt Jr. as he worked around base runners in all but one frame. It was still a positive to see him out there for six innings after taking a liner off his ankle nearly two weeks ago as he takes a sharp 2.87 ERA and 1.29 WHIP into the All-Star Break.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) was unable to make his scheduled start against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. The right-hander underwent an MRI on his right ankle. Luckily, Gausman did not fracture his ankle, so he's not expected to miss significant time. Instead, the 31-year-old is dealing with a bone bruise on his right ankle. He'll throw a bullpen session on Friday, so fantasy managers will have to wait for another update after that happens. For the moment, Gausman should be considered day-to-day, so it's uncertain if he'll miss another start.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) played catch Tuesday instead of throwing his usual between-starts bullpen session. A comebacker hit him in his ankle last Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Blue Jays are evaluating and haven't ruled out the right-hander for Thursday's start against the Seattle Mariners, but it's "not looking likely" for Gausman. The 31-year-old has been terrific this season for the Blue Jays, posting a 2.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and a 100:16 K: BB across 88 innings. Gausman is trending in the wrong direction and remains day-to-day. Casey Lawrence will draw the start on Thursday if Gausman cannot go. Stay tuned.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) stated on Monday that he is still having trouble pushing off when attempting to pitch. Gausman was hit in his ankle by a comebacker during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He is scheduled to make his next start on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners, but that start is up in the air right now. He has a bullpen session on tap for Tuesday and after he goes through that session, we should have a better idea of whether he'll be able to make Thursday's start.

He immediately underwent X-rays after the incident and the X-rays came back negative. The team has classified his injury as a right ankle contusion. It's certainly good news that the X-rays didn't catch anything major for Gausman, but it's unclear at this point whether the ailment will cause him to miss any time. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Make sure to stay tuned for updates on his status over the next few days.

The right-hander didn't walk a batter and allowed six hits through his 5 2/3 IP as his only blemishes came off two separate RBI singles off the bat of Jose Trevino in the third and fifth inning. Gausman has now surrendered five runs through his first 10 2/3 IP (4.22 ERA) with his new club, but his most impressive stat is his 14/0 K/BB through two starts.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman will start the team's second game of the season at home against the Rangers, per MLB.com's Keegan Matheson. Gausman signed a five-year, $110 million contract with the Jays this off-season, but Jose Berrios will get the Opening Day nod. The 31-year-old had a stellar 2021 season, going 14-6 with a 2.81 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 29.3% strikeout rate over 192 innings pitched with the San Francisco Giants. He will move to a debatably tougher division and will leave the pitcher-friendly confines of Oracle Park, but should still serve as a higher-end starter for fantasy managers this season. Gausman is currently being drafted as the 23rd pitcher off the board, making him a high-end SP 2.

The Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Kevin Gausman agreed to a five-year, $110 million deal on Sunday night, according to sources familiar with the deal. Gausman accepted a one-year, $18.9 million qualifying offer from the San Francisco Giants last year and set career-highs in innings (192), ERA (2.81), WHIP (1.04), strikeouts (227) and wins above replacement (5.2) in 2021 while earning his first All-Star nod. He used his splitter/four-seamer combination 88% of the time and had 219 of his K's with those two pitches. The 30-year-old's splitter generated 138 K's last season. With the Rays potentially losing Cy Young winner Robbie Ray, Gausman is a nice prize for the top of the rotation heading into 2022. It'll be hard for him to replicate his success next season in the tough American League East, though.

Free-agent right-hander Kevin Gausman is expected to sign a contract in the next two or three days, according to sources, and it's increasingly likely that he'll land a five-year deal. Gausman turns 31 in January and finished sixth in the National League Cy Young voting after posting a career-best 14-6 record with a 2.81 ERA in 192 innings while striking out 227 batters in 2021. The Toronto Blue Jays are one finalist for Gausman's services as he nears his decision. The Giants would likely be interested in bringing him back after his career year, but it's unclear if they'd be willing to go five years for him. Along with the Jays and Giants, the Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets and Seattle Mariners have all been linked to the right-hander. With no draft-pick compensation attached to him, the 30-year-old is even more attractive on the open market.

According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, free-agent starting pitcher Kevin Gausman's market includes four teams. Per Morosi, those teams are the Seattle Mariners, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels, and Toronto Blue Jays. Of course, Gausman spent the last two seasons with San Francisco. He had a breakout campaign in 2021, pitching to a 2.81 ERA and an even 3.00 FIP in 192 innings while registering 227 strikeouts and surrendering 50 walks. Because Gausman accepted the qualifying offer from the Giants last winter he was ineligible to receive a qualifying offer this offseason and thus wouldn't cost a draft pick to sign.
