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.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) was lifted from his start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday after he was hit in the ankle by a comebacker. 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.

Before departing, Gausman fired two scoreless innings while walking one and striking out three. The 31-year-old has been great in his first season in Toronto after making the All-Star team for the first time in his career in 2021 with the San Francisco Giants. Entering Saturday, Gausman had a 2.93 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with a league-leading 1.69 FIP, 97 strikeouts and only 15 walks in 86 innings over 15 starts. We'll pass down any new information regarding the severity of his leg injury when it becomes available.

Gausman only recorded seven outs, leaving the game in the third inning having allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk. He struck out three batters, taking his sixth loss of the season against five wins.

Gausman pitched five innings, allowing three runs on six hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with five strikeouts. The 31-year-old has been a top fantasy pitcher to this point, posting a 2.51 ERA with a 10.33 K/9 rate and a 0.89 BB/9 walk rate.

He only struck out three batters, walked one, and allowed seven hits, including a home run. Gausman has been one of the best pitchers in all of baseball in 2022. During his first season North of the border, the 31-year-old has a 2.52 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP and 57 strikeouts over 50 innings (eight starts).

He pitched eight innings and allowed seven hits, no walks and one earned run while striking out eight. He earned the win to improve to 1-1 on the year.

He will go up against the Red Sox once again in his next start, which will be next Tuesday.

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. He'll look to get his first win of the campaign when the Jays travel to Boston next week for a series against the division-rival Red Sox.

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.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman took the loss in Saturday's 9-2 NLDS Game 2 game against the Dodgers. Gausman pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. The 30-year-old's performance was not enough to keep his team in the game and did not align with his regular season 2.81 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. It remains to be seen if and when Gausman will pitch next, but the Giants will hope to get an outing from him more similar to his regular season starts.

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler has yet to announce his starter for Friday's Game 1 of the NLDS, but he expressed full trust in both Kevin Gausman and Logan Webb, per NBCSports.com's Alex Pavlovic. The two pitchers both had fantastic seasons, compiling 2.81 and 3.03 ERAs, respectively. Either pitcher would be a solid choice given their performances throughout the regular season. Kapler also said one of them will start on Friday and the other on Saturday, with the Game 1 starter coming back as a potential Game 5 starter. Both pitchers would be available for a Game 5, if needed.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman will make one more start this season. He has been named the starter for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Anthony DeSclafani is pitching the series opener against the Padres on Friday with Logan Webb closing out the series on Sunday. If the Dodgers manage to pull ahead of the Giants, Gausman won't be a candidate to start in the NL Wild Card game. However, the team wanted to prioritize getting him one more start before the postseason. He's had some struggles in September as he has a 4.64 ERA over six starts this month, but he's coming off a dominant performance in Coors Field where he pitched six innings and allowed one earned run while striking out 11.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman turned in his second straight subpar start in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Padres. Gausman pitched just 4 innings, allowing four runs on nine hits (including three home runs) and no walks with three strikeouts. Gausman's last two starts have both been against the Padres and he has allowed four runs in each. He is still 14-6 with a 2.92 ERA and 1.06 WHIP on the season, but season-long numbers won't help fantasy managers lock up a championship now. His next start will be on the road against the Rockies. This is a tough venue for Gausman to attempt to right the ship and fantasy managers could consider sitting him, but he has pitched so well all season that starting him would also be a viable option.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman fell to 14-6 in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Padres. Gausman pitched 5 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with seven strikeouts. It was one of his worst starts of the season in terms of runs allowed, which speaks to how well he has pitched. He will take his 2.78 ERA and 1.03 WHIP into a rematch with the Padres next week, where he should definitely be started by fantasy managers.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman improved to 13-5 in Monday's 10-5 win over the Rockies. Gausman pitched 7 innings, allowing three runs on five hits (including two home runs) and a walk with nine strikeouts. The 30-year-old has been fantastic all season and now owns a 2.58 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 29.2% strikeout rate. He is a must-start pitcher for fantasy managers for the rest of the season. His next start will be a nice matchup against the Cubs on the road.
