Kevin Gausman told reporters on Thursday morning that he has gained 12 pounds of muscle. "I've put on 12 pounds already," said the 23-year-old right-hander. "I feel great physically. I'm probably somewhere [near] the best physically I've felt." Gausman was rushed to the majors in 2013 and struggled, but he's a great talent and could be ready to take a step forward as a sophomore. Gausman was the fourth overall pick in the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft.
