Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (finger) has been tabbed to start Game 2 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners as the team looks to avoid elimination, according to manager John Schneider. Gausman departed his final start of the regular season early due to a cut on his right middle finger, but he has recovered and will try to send the series to a deciding Game 3 on Sunday in Toronto. The 31-year-old made just one start against the Mariners ...

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (finger) exited early during Sunday's contest against the Boston Red Sox. He was removed in the third inning due to what appears to be a cut on his middle finger. This doesn't sound like something that is going to limit Gausman going forward. Gausman should be fine for his next start, which is likely going to be in the playoffs.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman kept his team in the game in Monday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Yankees. Gausman took a no-decision but pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with seven strikeouts. Gausman has now been a high-end fantasy starter for three straight seasons, going 12-10 with a 3.30 ERA and 10.54 K/9 rate through 30 starts.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman had an excellent bounce-back start in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rays. Gausman pitched 8 shutout innings, allowing one hit and one walk with 10 strikeouts. This was an encouraging sign for fantasy managers, as Gausman had not pitched well overall coming back from the All-Star break. Despite his recent scuffles, the 31-year-old still has an 8-8 record with a 3.06 ERA and 10.64 K/9 rate through 20 starts this season. He will look to turn in another...

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) was in play to start on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, but right-hander Jose Berrios will make the start instead. Gausman completed a bullpen session last Friday, but they still aren't comfortable having him take the mound after he suffered a right ankle injury. The 31-year-old right-hander should return to the rotation this week, possibly on Wednesday against the Phillies. He might be a bit more risky in fantasy in his first...

The summer season is now in full swing and July 4th is in the rear view mirror. The next baseball season milestone coming up is the mid-summer classic -; the All-Star game. Teams have passed the midpoint of their seasons and it is getting close to the time of saying that the results we see on the field from individual players are what we are going to get the rest of the season as well. The MLB trade deadline is a month away as is the trade deadline in many fantasy leagues. A lot of players tend ...

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 ...
