Mon May 26 | 21:18 | Kevin Gausman Goes Eight Strong Innings |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman has been extremely solid on the mound over his last two starts. On Monday, Gausman tossed eight innings, allowing one earned run on six hits, while striking out six batters in the win. The right-hander has been showing great command lately as he hasn't walked a batter in four straight starts. Gausman has struck out six batters or more in three straight appearances. He made easy work of the Texas Rangers on Monday and will look to keep the good times rolling against the A's in his next start. |

Wed May 21 | 23:41 | Kevin Gausman Excellent in Victory Over Padres |
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (4-4) helped lead the Jays to a 14-0 rout over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Gausman tossed seven shutout innings, allowed just three hits, and finished with nine strikeouts and no walks en route to his fourth victory of the season. Gausman had a poor start in his previous outing and has mixed a few clunkers this year, but his results have been solid on the whole. The 34-year-old has pitched to a sturdy 4.03 ERA with 55:12 K:BB across 58 innings, and the minuscule 0.98 WHIP he carried into Wednesday's start ranks among the majors' best. Gausman's next scheduled start is on the road Monday against the Texas Rangers, whose offense has sputtered this year. |

Sat May 3 | 21:48 | Kevin Gausman Looks Excellent In No-Decision |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman had seemingly no issues on the mound during Saturday's start against the Cleveland Guardians. The right-hander gave up one hit and a walk, but was basically perfect outside of that. Gausman tossed six scoreless innings while striking out nine batters in what ended up being a no-decision. Well, Gausman certainly earned the win in this one, but sadly his bullpen blew it for him in the final innings. It is unfortunate for him, but fantasy managers will still take a strong outing by Gausman. He'll take a 3.83 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 37/12 K/BB ratio into his next start versus the Seattle Mariners. |

Sun Apr 27 | 15:21 | Kevin Gausman Allows Six Earned Runs In Short Outing On Sunday |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman had a forgettable day on Sunday, yielding six earned runs in just two-and-two-thirds innings. The veteran threw 71 pitches in all, striking out two and walking a whopping five batters during the short outing. After being removed from the game, the 34-year-old was ejected for arguingwith the umpire. The ugly outing leaves the 2x All-Star with a 4.50 ERA (3.89 FIP) over six starts with an 11:28 BB:K in 34 IP. His next start lines up with Cleveland next weekend, and at least a home start in Toronto should help him get back on track. |

Wed Apr 16 | 00:49 | Kevin Gausman Tosses Another Quality Start In Tuesday's Win |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman continued his strong start to the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Braves. Gausman pitched six innings, allowing two runs on six hits (including two solo home runs) and no walks with six strikeouts. The 34-year-old has looked great after a relatively disappointing 2024, going 2-1 with three quality starts, a 2.49 ERA, a 0.71 WHIP, and a 7.11 K/9 rate in four starts and 25 1/3 IP. The strikeout numbers are still down, but fantasy managers will likely take that tradeoff for the stellar ERA and WHIP. Gausman will face a decent matchup in his next scheduled start, which will be at the Astros. |

Wed Apr 9 | 22:12 | Kevin Gausman Fans 10 In No-Decision Against Red Sox |
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman deserved more than a no-decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Gausman was fantastic, allowing just an unearned run on four hits while walking none and striking out 10 in eight innings pitched to lower his ERA on the young season to 2.33. After allowing an unearned run in the first inning on a sacrifice fly, the 34-year-old veteran retired 21 of the final 23 hitters he faced in a dominant performance in his third start of the 2025 season. Gausman now has quality starts in two of his first three outings of the year after coming into Wednesday's start having allowed five earned runs on five hits while walking three and striking out only four in his first 11 1/3 frames. This was vintage Gausman, and fantasy managers will hope he can repeat it in his next scheduled outing against the struggling Braves. |

Sat Mar 29 | 07:42 | Kevin Gausman Tosses Six Innings Of Two-Run Ball |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman logged six innings and allowed two earned runs and three hits en route to earning the victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday evening. He struck out four and served up one free pass. He did not allow a baserunner in the first two innings. His first blemish came in the third, when Jackson Holliday hit a solo shot. Later in the fourth, Gausman would run into some more trouble as he served up a leadoff walk to Adley Rutschman, who would eventually score on a Tyler O'Neill sacrifice fly. Over his final two innings, he would only allow one hit to conclude his outing. This was a strong start for Gausman as he struggled to find consistency throughout the 2024 season, as he posted a modest 3.85 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. He will look to have another quality start on Wednesday when he faces the Nationals. |

Mon Feb 24 | 12:21 | Kevin Gausman Throws Another Live Batting Practice Session |
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman threw a live batting practice session on Sunday in camp and will have one more "and then get into games," according to manager John Schneider. Gausman isn't dealing with a specific injury, but he's a little bit behind the other starting pitchers in spring training. However, the 34-year-old should be fully stretched out for Opening Day at the end of March. He notably bulked up in the offseason in order to help him navigate the rigors of a full season in 2025 after he saw his strikeout rate fall to 21.4 percent in 2024. In addition to that, Gausman also had a 7.4 percent walk rate, which was his highest mark since 2017. He made 31 starts last year but also had a shoulder injury last spring, which might have been the culprit for his velocity being down. At his age, it's fair to wonder if he'll be able to get his strikeout rate back up in 2025. |

Tue Feb 18 | 00:22 | Kevin Gausman Adds Some Offseason Weight With Eyes On September |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman has put on some weight this offseason, making him appear "sturdier," according to manager John Schneider. Gausman said that adding some weight is typical, knowing that he'll lose some of the added pounds as the season progresses, but intimated that this might be the first time he remains over 200 pounds for the entirety of the campaign. Nevertheless, the 6-foot-2 hurler is expected to fill the ace role again for the Jays in 2025, although he may not be an ace for fantasy any longer. Last season, the righty posted a 3.83 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and a 14.0% K-BB%. Even though he finished strong by recording a 2.22 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over his final nine starts, many of his underlying stats contradicted that outcome, with his K%, BB%, SwStr%, xFIP, and SIERA coming in worse when compared to his first 22 starts, so make sure not to overpay when drafting. |

Thu Sep 19 2024 | 17:51 | Kevin Gausman Expects To Make His Next Start |
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (back) said his back tightened up on his last warm-up pitch before being pulled early in Thursday's start against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field, but as of now, he isn't overly concerned and expects to make his final regular-season start next Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. Regardless, the 33-year-old veteran will be a bit more risky for fantasy managers that are still playing for a championship next week against Boston. Before being pulled on Thursday, Gausman tossed five scoreless innings with one walk and six strikeouts to pick up his 13th victory of the season in the team's 4-0 win over Texas. He now has a 3.91 ERA and 1.22 WHIP on the season heading into the final week of the regular season. In two starts against Boston in 2024, Gausman has allowed nine runs (seven earned) while walking four and striking out nine in 11 2/3 innings pitched. |

Thu Sep 19 2024 | 17:04 | Kevin Gausman Injured On Thursday |
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (back) was removed from Thursday's game early against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field due to lower-back tightness. Before leaving, Gausman at least had a nice day on the mound, throwing five scoreless innings while walking one and striking out six to leave in line for the win. It's unclear how serious the 33-year-old's injury is, but with the season winding down and the Blue Jays not having anything to play for, they will not be rushing Gausman back to the starting rotation. If his injury isn't serious, he's scheduled to toe the rubber again next Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. After coming in third in the American League Cy Young voting in 2023, Gausman has taken a step back in 2024, entering Thursday's start with a 4.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 153 strikeouts and 52 walks in 170 innings over 29 starts. |

Sun Aug 25 2024 | 23:28 | Kevin Gausman Throws Gem Against Angels |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman was sharp on Sunday, allowing just one run over seven innings against the Los Angeles Angels. Gausman was dominant in this one, allowing just two hits while striking out 10 and walking none. He collected 20 whiffs on 94 pitches, including 10 on his fastball and five on his splitter. Things are trending up for the 33-year-old, who has allowed four or fewer earned runs in nine consecutive starts, a stretch that also includes five quality starts and six wins. While he still isn't the Gausman of old, it looks like he will be a solid starter down the stretch for fantasy purposes. |

Wed Aug 14 2024 | 08:42 | Kevin Gausman Goes Seven Scoreless Innings |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman improved to 11-8 with Tuesday's victory versus the Los Angeles Angels. Gausman worked out of some trouble in the contest, but overall tossed seven scoreless innings with six hits, two walks and five strikeouts. Both of his walks came in the bottom of the second inning when he Mickey Moniak and Brandon Drury worked back-to-back free passes. The veteran has been a mixed bag this year and his strikeouts have been down this season, but he has thrown to a 3.31 ERA with three quality starts over his past 35 1/3 innings. Gausman will look for similar results in his next outing against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday, in what should be a two-start week with another favorable matchup versus the Los Angeles Angels. Despite the low K rate this season, Gausman has still been productive for managers of late and should remain rostered. |

Fri Aug 9 2024 | 01:24 | Kevin Gausman Shines In Win Over O's |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman tossed a gem on Thursday, pitching eight innings of two-run ball in a 7-6 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Gausman allowed just three hits and three walks but only struck out two. It's been a bizarre season for the 33-year-old, who has an inflated ERA at 4.42 and WHIP at 1.27, but has had some magnificent starts where he has pitched deeper than he ever has into games. Some of that can probably be attributed to his decreased strikeout rate, as hitters have been putting the ball in play earlier in counts more often against Gausman this year. Either way, it's been a frustrating experience for fantasy managers who own Gausman, and it will likely continue to be that way until the end of the season. |

Mon Jul 8 2024 | 12:19 | Kevin Gausman Tweaking His Mechanics |
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman has been slightly off this year after admitting that he probably should have started the year on the injured list in order to build his arm up properly due to a shortened spring training. Gausman tweaked his delivery going into his start on Friday against the Seattle Mariners and was happy with the results. He tried to be more "hunched over" on the mound, allowing him to lower his arm angle. One immediate result was better fastball control, and it also clocked at 1.4 mph harder than his 2024 average. Gausman had also been getting too much horizontal movement on his splitter and not enough vertical movement. He allowed two runs over six innings with 10 K's on Friday to lower his season ERA to 4.64, and he should be able to continue lowering his ERA by season's end if he stays on this path. |

Sat Jul 6 2024 | 01:31 | Kevin Gausman Records 10 Strikeouts, Picks Up Loss Friday |
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (6-8) was outdueled Friday night by Luis Castillo and the Seattle Mariners in a 2-1 loss. Despite the quality start, Gausman picked up the loss allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts. Hopefully, this is a sign that as the temperature heats so will Gausman. It's been an uncharacteristic year for the veteran right-hander with a 4.64 ERA and 1.34 WHIP on the season. The 33-year-old is on pace for his worst season since he put up a 5.72 ERA in the 2019 season. Gausman is now rostered in 95% of fantasy leagues which means there are fantasy managers out there who have lost patience with the former all-star ace. If you're in one of those leagues where Gausman is on the waiver wire go add him now! His next start is projected against a mediocre San Francisco Giants and if he has the second half that reflects any of the past couple of years he's put up it could be a move that could be reap league-winning rewards. |

Gausman allowed six runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings while striking out three and walking one.

He will look to get back on track in his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Oakland A's. |
