Gausman didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Red Sox, allowing one unearned run on four hits over six innings. He struck out nine without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander dazzled once again, tossing 62 of 88 pitches for strikes while generating 19 swinging strikes, and Gausman exited the game in line for his second win of the season before the Toronto bullpen made things interesting. Incredibly, Gausman hasn't walked a batter or served up a homer through his first four starts as a Blue Jay, amassing a 31:0 K:BB through 24.2 innings to fuel his 2.19 ERA and 1.01 WHIP.

Gausman (1-1) earned the win after allowing one run on seven hits across eight innings during Thursday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox. He struck out eight and didn't record a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman scattered six hits through eight scoreless innings, but Trevor Story smacked the first pitch of the ninth inning into right field for a single, which ended Gausman's afternoon. Story came around to score on a Xander Bogaerts double off Jordan Romano, but the Blue Jays closer was able to thwart the comeback and earned the save. Through three appearances with his new squad, Gausman sports a 2.89 ERA across 18.2 innings with a ridiculous 22:0 K:BB. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, April 26 in a rematch against the Red Sox in Toronto.

Gausman (0-1) struck out nine in 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on six hits in a 3-0 loss Thursday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman dominated the first seven hitters in the potent Yankees' lineup but could not stop Isiah Kiner-Falefa or Jose Trevino, as they accounted for both runs and went a combined 4-for-4 against the righty. The 2021 All-Star has yet to walk a batter or allow a home run in his first two starts for Toronto but has also not yet recorded a win. His next start will likely be next Thursday in Boston.

Gausman tossed five innings against Texas on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out five. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman's final pitching line wasn't earth-shattering, but the veteran right-hander was solid in his first start as a Blue Jay. Of the eight hits he allowed, only one -- a third-inning double off the bat of Marcus Semien -- went for extra bases, and Gausman induced 17 swings-and-misses while throwing 57 of 80 pitches for strikes. The 31-year-old's second start of the season is expected to come in New York against the Yankees next week.

Gausman threw in the bullpen following Monday's Grapefruit League start and ultimately threw about 80 pitches between the two sessions, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman allowed two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out three in six innings against the Tigers on Monday, reaching 68 pitches in the start. Monday's appearance was his lone spring start this year, but he appears to be built up nicely and expects to be ready to throw between 95 and 100 pitches during his first regular-season start. Jose Berrios has been named Toronto's Opening Day starter, so Gausman lines up to make his 2022 debut at home against the Rangers on Saturday.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Thursday that Gausman is tentatively in line to start the team's second game of the season April 9 against the Rangers in Toronto, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman was bypassed for the Opening Day nod in favor of Jose Berrios, but that's most likely a result of the latter having more seniority in the organization. Among the five projected members of Toronto's Opening Day rotation, Gausman was the top performer in 2021, when he compiled a 2.81 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 227 strikeouts across 192 innings with the Giants. Gausman cashed in on his career-best season by signing a five-year, $110 million deal with Toronto in November, with his big payday indicating the Blue Jays view him as a front-of-the-rotation arm.

Gausman signed a five-year, $110 million contract with the Blue Jays on Sunday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman drew interest from several teams during free agency, but he'll land with the Blue Jays, who had expressed interest in the 30-year-old's services for several years. The right-hander made 33 starts for the Giants during the 2021 campaign and posted a career-best 2.81 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 192 innings.

Gausman (0-1) took the loss to the Dodgers on Saturday in Game 2 of the NLDS, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

The 2021 NL Cy Young candidate wasn't quite at his best; Gausman allowed an RBI single to the opposing starting pitcher, Julio Urias, in the second inning. He allowed two of the first three batters he faced in the sixth inning to reach and both would ultimately come around to score after Gausman exited the game. Gausman has experience pitching in relief, but the Giants will likely want to reserve their ace for Game 5, or Game 1 of the NLCS.

Gausman will start Game 2 of the NLDS on Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman turned in two strong starts to close out the regular season and recorded a 1.38 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in 13 innings during that time. The right-hander will have a full week of rest ahead of Saturday's appearance.

Gausman allowed one run on six hits and one walk Saturday in a no-decision against San Diego. He also had five strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander put together his second straight quality start, holding the Padres to a Manny Machado RBI single in the sixth inning. Gausman will go into the postseason having allowed just two runs in 13 innings over his last two starts while striking out 16 against just one walk.
