Gustave tossed a clean inning while striking out two in Wednesday's 12-11 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Gustave was one of just two Giants pitchers to keep the Cubs off the board in this slugfest. The 26-year-old was credited with his first major-league hold after preserving a late lead that Reyes Moronta would squander in the eighth. Gustave owns a 1.32 ERA over 13.2 innings, but his lack of strikeouts (4.6 K/9) and poor track record in the minors (6.15 ERA at Triple-A) suggest that this hot start may not last long.

Gustave was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gustave was added to the 40-man roster a couple weeks ago and is now set to make his debut with the Giants in the wake of multiple trade-deadline departures. The 26-year-old last saw the majors in 2017 with the Astros, posting a 3.98 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB over 20.1 innings across two seasons.

Gustave was added to the Giants' 40-man roster Thursday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gustave was optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento after being added to the team's 40-man roster. Across 22.1 innings with the River Cats this season, Gustave owns a 6.85 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB. The right-hander could join the big club as bullpen depth later in the season. Travis Bergen (shoulder) was shifted to the 60-day IL to free up a roster spot for Gustave.

Gustave (elbow) was reassigned to the Giants' minor-league camp Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gustave signed a minor-league deal with the Giants in February after he missed the entirety of the 2018 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2017. The 26-year-old posted a 3.98 ERA and 18:11 K:BB over 20.1 innings with Houston in 2016 and 2017, but it remains unclear where he's at in his recovery.

Gustave (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gustave has been on the 10-day DL since late March as he returns from Tommy John surgery in June 2017. Outfielder Myles Straw had his contract purchased from Triple-A Fresno, prompting the move.

The Astros placed Gustave (elbow) on the 10-day disabled list Thursday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gustave is just past the nine-month mark in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and given the year-plus healing timetable typically associated with the procedure, he'll likely shift to the 60-day DL at some point when the Astros need to clear up a roster spot. The right-hander is close to resuming mound work and could be ready to begin a rehab assignment at some point during the summer.

Gustave (elbow) will have a limited workout plan with his throwing in spring training as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gustave, who went under the knife last June, is hopeful to resume mound work by the time camp draws to a close. He'll likely remain at extended spring training for several weeks beyond that in order for the Astros to monitor his recovery before he embarks on a lengthy rehab assignment with multiple affiliates. Don't count on the right-hander, who has made 20 appearances in the big leagues over the last two seasons, to resurface with the Astros until the second half of the campaign.

Gustave underwent reconstructive surgery on his right elbow Wednesday and has been ruled out for the season, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given the extent of the procedure, Gustave isn't a certain bet to be back to full health by the time spring training arrives in 2018. The reliever made six appearances with the Astros in April before being shut down with a forearm strain and was moved to the 60-day disabled list last week.

Gustave (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
There's been no indication that Gustave has suffered a setback in his recovery from the flexor strain in his forearm, but he'll be moved to the 60-day DL in order to open a 40-man roster spot for outfielder Derek Fisher, who will join the big club Wednesday. Since Gustave hasn't pitched since April 18, he'll be eligible for activation within a few days, though it doesn't sound like he's particularly close to a return. Gustave will likely require multiple appearances during a rehab assignment before the Astros consider activating him.
