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.

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.

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.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman earned a win Saturday over the Texas Rangers, in a 7-3 complete-game performance. The veteran gave up three runs on four hits, walking three and notching eight strikeouts. Gausman moves to 9-8 on the season, with a 4.44 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and 117 strikeouts in 199 innings. The right-hander has earned three consecutive wins over his last three starts, pitching into the seventh inning in all three outings. The Blue Jays will look to Gausman to continue his winning ways in his next start against the New York Yankees next Friday.

Toronto Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman earned a win and a quality start on Thursday in a 5-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Gausman struck out three while scattering six hits and two runs over seven innings. The veteran moves to 7-8 on the season, with a 4.50 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP, and 104 strikeouts in 104 innings. With the team scuffling at 43-50, the Blue Jays could look to move Gausman in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline, and solid performances like this will help build his trade value.

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.

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.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman was unable to find much success on the mound during Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. The right-hander allowed seven runs on seven hits while walking five batters over 4 1/3 innings in the loss. The 33-year-old has not looked like himself this season as he struggled once again on Sunday. The lone bright spot was he did strike out seven batters in this start. We'll see if he can get it back on track during the second half of the season.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman struggled in a 7-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. Gausman allowed six runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings while striking out three and walking one. The veteran hurler struggled to keep the ball in the yard on Monday as he served up three homers to Baltimore batters on the way to taking the loss. The rough outing drops Gausman's record to 4-4, to go along with a 4.60 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 59 strikeouts over 60 2/3 innings of work. He will look to get back on track in his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Oakland A's.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman shined in Thursday's victory on the road over the Detroit Tigers, fanning a season-high 10 batters while throwing six innings of one-run ball on three hits and two walks for his third win of the campaign. It was almost certainly Gausman's finest effort of the season, as it was his first double-digit strikeout performance this year. The 33-year-old strikeout machine missed some time during spring training due to injury, and while he has work to do to improve on his lackluster 4.47 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 10 starts, Gausman's superb 53:13 K:BB is a reason for optimism. Tuesday's matchup against the last-place Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field marks Gausman's next projected start, a prime opportunity for Toronto's ace to right the ship further.

Veteran ace Kevin Gausman threw six strong innings on Saturday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays. Gausman surrendered three earned runs on eight hits while striking out six, leaving with a 4-3 lead. However, Nate Pearson gave up a two-run homer to outfielder Jonny DeLuca to ruin the win for Gausman. Gausman remains at 2-3 with a 4.89 ERA and 1.51 WHIP, with 43 strikeouts in 42 innings. He only went three innings in his last start, giving up six earned runs. He will make his next start this coming week at Detroit on Thursday.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman earned his second win of the season in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Nationals. The veteran went five-and-a-third innings, allowing no runs on three hits and two walks while striking out eight. After a bumpy start to the season, this was Gausman's fourth straight start of allowing one earned run or less. The 33-year-old now sports a 3.78 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with a 16.0% K-BB%. The 2x All-Star's next start currently lines up next weekend at home against the Twins, the hottest team in baseball and winners of 12 straight.

Toronto Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman picked up his first win of the season during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gausman allowed one run on five hits across seven innings of work. He struck out five batters without issuing a walk. The 33-year-old had a tumultuous start to the season due to injuries and inconsistencies, but he has only given up two earned runs across his last three starts. Gausman will look to continue his recent success in his next projected outing against the Washington Nationals.

Right-hander Kevin Gausman will be starting for the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday in the second game of their four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. Gausman struggled to begin the year with his velocity, but in his last start against the Yankees, the right-hander had success, as he went five innings and allowed just one run on four hits while striking out six. Gausman is 0-2 with an 8.16 ERA this season and will face a Royals lineup that is slashing .237/.306/.405.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman will make his third start of the season against the Colorado Rockies at the Rogers Centre this evening. The ace pitcher was dealing with shoulder fatigue earlier in the offseason, which prevented him from seeing time in Spring Training and delayed his season debut. He threw four one-run innings against the Tampa Bay Rays in his first start but struggled mightily in his second against the New York Yankees, where he allowed five earned runs. Gausman's velocity dipped in that start but did not express much concern. The 33-year-old should have an excellent opportunity to deliver a quality start against a Rockies team that has the sixth most total strikeouts, making him a fantastic option in DFS.

Fantasy managers might be worried about right-hander Kevin Gausman after his disastrous first start of the season against the New York Yankees on Saturday in which he allowed six runs (five earned) in just 1 1/3 innings, but Gausman isn't too worried after the velocity on all of his pitches was down three to five mph. The 33-year-old All-Star blamed it more on the cold weather in the Bronx more than anything, and fantasy managers must remember that Gausman got a late start to the 2024 season due to right-shoulder fatigue that he dealt with in spring training. "It's just about locating a little bit better," said manager John Schneider. Gausman's velocity was down early in the year in 2023, too, so this shouldn't be a sign of bad things to come in 2024 for Toronto's ace.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman allowed one run on two hits across 4 1/3 innings of work during Sunday's 9-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The right-hander struck out six batters without issuing a walk. Gausman was on a strict workload limit for this one, exiting the game after tossing 69 pitches. Despite that, the 33-year-old looked like his dominant self in his season debut. Gausman should be able to go deeper into the game during his next start against the New York Yankees. He remains a high-end fantasy starter for the rest of the season.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters on Saturday that ace Kevin Gausman (shoulder) will start on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Gausman was slowed this spring by shoulder fatigue. Gausman was 12-9 with a 3.16 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 237 strikeouts in 2023. The 33-year-old veteran had a successful bullpen session on Friday and has been given the go-ahead to start on Sunday. This pushes Bowden Francis to Monday against the Houston Astros. If all goes well on Sunday for Gausman, he will face the New York Yankees next weekend. Gausman should be put back into all fantasy lineups as soon as possible, although he'll be pretty risky in DFS. Gausman hopes to be among the top-five starting pitchers again now that he is healthy.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (shoulder) threw a bullpen session at Tropicana Field on Friday. Manager John Schneider said on Thursday that there will likely be no decision on when Gausman makes his season debut until Saturday. The 33-year-old veteran will either make his 2024 debut on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays or on Monday for the first game of a series versus the Houston Astros. Neither matchup is particularly nice for Gausman to make his season debut after missing valuable time in spring training with right-shoulder fatigue. The Blue Jays ace looked excellent in an exhibition game on Monday, but we would still encourage DFS gamers to fade Gausman in his first start of 2024.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that the team still hasn't decided on when right-hander Kevin Gausman (shoulder) will make his first start of the season, but it will be either Sunday in Tampa Bay against the Rays or on Monday in Houston versus the Astros. Gausman came out of his only Grapefruit League start on Monday fine and will not need to open the regular season on the injured list after dealing with shoulder fatigue in spring training. Neither matchup is ideal for the 33-year-old's first start after missing time in spring training, so he'll be more risky than normal in season-long fantasy leagues and in DFS in his first start of 2024. But fantasy managers should feel comfortable that the Blue Jays' ace can put his shoulder injury in the rearview and put forth another strong season as a No. 1 starter.
