Gausman (12-5) earned the win in Monday's 7-5 victory over the Mets, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman got the win Monday despite not having his typical dominant stuff, allowing all three New York runs on three baserunners in the fifth inning. The first-time All-Star has rebounded from a poor July with three straight wins to open August, fanning 20 in 16 innings with only five runs allowed.

Gausman (11-5) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks with five strikeouts in five innings, earning the win over Arizona on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has won consecutive starts over Arizona, although he walked four or more batters for the fourth time in 23 starts Wednesday. Gausman has a 2.29 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 162:43 K:BB through 137.1 innings this season. He tentatively lines up for another home start versus the Mets next week.

The Giants reinstated Gausman (personal) from the paternity list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After leaving the team following his six-inning start Wednesday in Arizona, Gausman missed the maximum three days before the Giants added him back to the active roster. Gausman didn't miss a turn through the rotation while he welcomed his second daughter into the world, and he'll remain on track to start during the Giants' two-game series with the Diamondbacks in San Francisco that begins Tuesday.

Gausman was placed on the paternity list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman's placement on the paternity list was expected following Wednesday's start in which he allowed an earned run on five hits and no walks while striking out eight in six innings to return to the win column for the first time since July 11. The 30-year-old will be away from the team for several days but should be ready for his next outing, and he tentatively lines up to start at home against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Gausman improved to 10-5 on the season Wednesday after limiting the Diamondbacks to one run on five hits and no walks while striking out eight over six innings in the Giants' 7-1 win. San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler said after the game that Gausman will be placed on the paternity list Thursday while he and his wife await the birth of their second daughter, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After posting an 8.49 ERA and 2.23 WHIP in his first three starts out of the All-Star break, Gausman finally got back on track against the hapless Diamondbacks. With his wife due to give birth Friday, Gausman appears unlikely to make the trip to Milwaukee this weekend for the Giants' three-game series with the Brewers. That said, he should be ready to go when his next turn in the rotation comes up Tuesday or Wednesday, when he'll face the Diamondbacks once again.

Gausman (9-5) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in 4.1 innings, taking the loss versus Houston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
In three starts since the All-Star break, Gausman has given up a stunning 11 runs across 11.2 innings. He had given up 11 runs across his last six starts before the break. The right-hander owns a 2.35 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 149:39 K:BB across 126.1 innings. It's possible his recent struggles are just regression after an incredible first half -- he's limited opponents to a .234 BABIP this year while stranding 80.6 percent of runners. He'll look to get back on track in an enticing matchup versus Arizona next week.

Gausman (9-4) allowed six earned runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out two across 4.1 innings, taking the loss to the Pirates on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman had his worst start of the season in a favorable home matchup against a weak Pirates team. He allowed a season-high eight hits, six earned runs and put up a season-low two strikeouts. The 30-year-old has struggled lately for his standards with a 4.97 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP over his last five starts. On the season, he still has a 2.21 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP with a 10.3 K/9 in 122 innings.

Gausman allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over three innings Monday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers worked Gausman to throw 80 pitches over three innings in what was his shortest outing since September of 2019. He started off very rocky by allowing back-to-back solo home runs to Max Muncy and Justin Turner in the first inning and would end up hitting and walking a batter before finally getting out of the frame. The 30-year-old righty has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the game this year but just didn't have his best stuff with him Monday evening, as he was missing spots and bouncing in too many off-speed pitches. He's allowed three runs or fewer in 18 of his 19 starts this season, which has led to a 1.84 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 138:33 K:BB over 117.2 innings. Gausman currently lines up for an enticing matchup against the Pirates over the weekend.

Gausman (personal) returned to the team as expected Monday and was activated off the Family Medical Emergency List ahead of his scheduled start against the Dodgers, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman's first start of the second half was delayed so that he could be with his wife in the hospital, but he's ready to pitch again now. The Giants will certainly be happy to have him on the hill against the rival Dodgers, who trail them by one game in the standings. Gausman looked like an ace in the first half, riding a 30.5 percent strikeout rate and 6.9 percent walk rate to a 1.73 ERA in 18 starts.

Gausman (personal) will be activated from the Family Medical Emergency List to start Monday's game against the Dodgers, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman was initially slated to start Friday's game against St. Louis, but he was placed on the Family Medical Emergency List and missed the team's weekend series. The right-hander appears to have since handled the personal matter, so he'll be able to make his first start of the second half as the Giants begin a key four-game series in Los Angeles. Gausman will line up for a second start of the week Saturday versus the Pirates in San Francisco.
