Gausman didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Mariners, giving up four runs -- all on solo home runs -- over six innings. He struck out nine without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander gave up only five hits in total, but when Seattle's bats made contact, the ball went a long way. It's the first time since April 17 that Gausman has served up multiple homers in a start, so this performance likely isn't the beginning of a trend. He'll take a 3.18 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and dazzling 162:29 K:BB through 121.2 innings into his next outing, which is likely to come at home next weekend against the Angels.

Gausman (side) is listed as the Blue Jays' starting pitcher for Saturday's game in Seattle, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman will be cleared for his first start of the second half after he completed a bullpen session without issue Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The exact date of Gausman's next start has not been determined, but the good news is he appears to be over the left side issue which caused him to be scratched from his last outing. It was July 8 the last time the right-hander pitched, so he will be well rested.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman had to be scratched from his last scheduled outing Saturday against the Diamondbacks due to left side discomfort, but he is feeling better and moving in a positive direction.

EDGE Analysis

Left side discomfort caused Gausman to be scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against the Diamondbacks, but he seems to have avoided a significant injury. If he progresses well over the next few days, he could be an option to start during next week's series against the Padres, which runs from Tuesday through Thursday.

Gausman was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against the Diamondbacks due to left side discomfort, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman has been one of the best starters in the league this season, recording a 3.03 ERA and a career-high 32.6 percent strikeout rate in 19 starts prior to the break. Losing him for an extended period would be a big blow, but for now, the issue appears relatively minor. An MRI showed nothing of concern, so the righty is merely considered day-to-day for now. Toronto has an off day Monday, so it's possible Gausman can skip just one start and avoid the injured list. Chris Bassitt will take the hill Saturday.

Gausman (7-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against the Tigers. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman allowed three consecutive hits with one out in the first, which led to the only two runs of the game. The right-hander was basically lights-out aside from the opening frame, however, and allowed only three more baserunners from the second inning on before being relieved by Nate Pearson in the seventh. Gausman has recorded at least seven strikeouts in each of his last three starts, though he's now lost his last two decisions (spanning three starts) after previously winning five straight.

Gausman did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over five innings against the Red Sox. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman fell one inning shy of picking up a fourth consecutive quality start, allowing just two runs across five innings of work. The veteran right-hander has been exceptional in 2023 outside of a few rough outings, giving up three or fewer runs in 15 of his 18 appearances including six shutout performances. However, Gausman sports a 3.04 ERA through 109.2 innings, a number that's largely inflated by individual starts of eight, seven and six earned runs. Outside the trio of poor starts, Gausman boasts a 1.48 ERA with a 133:20 K:BB over 97 frames.

Gausman (7-4) was stuck with the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over six innings against San Francisco. He struck out 12.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays couldn't muster any run support for Gausman, who allowed just one run while recording double-digit strikeouts for the seventh time this season. It's Gausman's first loss since May 4 as he lowered his ERA to 3.01 with a 1.13 WHIP and 139 strikeouts (second most in the league) through 17 starts (104.2 innings) this season. The 32-year-old right-hander will look to get back in the win column in his next outing, currently lined up for this weekend against the Red Sox.
