Gausman allowed two runs on six hits and struck out two over six innings versus Atlanta on Friday. He walked none and he did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman spent a few days on the COVID-19 injured list with vaccine side effects, but he seemed to be feeling just fine while throwing 62 of his 91 pitches for strikes. This was Gausman's first quality start since Aug. 4, as he failed to meet the six-inning requirement in each of his last three outings. The right-hander has a 2.49 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 176:46 K:BB through 152 innings this season. He lines up for another challenging matchup versus Milwaukee next week.

Gausman is starting Friday's game against Atlanta after being activated from the COVID-19 list, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman was placed on the COVID-19 list Tuesday because of vaccine side effects, but there was never really a doubt that he would be able to make his scheduled start Friday. With him back on the active roster, Chadwick Tromp was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.

Gausman was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday due to side effects of the vaccine, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The righty ace is unlikely to miss an outing, with his next scheduled starting being Friday in Atlanta. Details about Gausman's condition and whether he'll require more than a few days to overcome the side effects should become clear by Friday.

Gausman allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus Oakland on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was another unconvincing start for Gausman, as a costly first-inning error by Wilmer Flores ultimately allowed three unearned runs to score. Gausman also gave up a run on a wild pitch in the fourth prior to Jarlin Garcia relieving him. Through 146 innings, Gausman has posted a 2.47 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 174:46 K:BB across 25 starts, but he's given up 22 runs (18 earned) in his last 31.1 innings since the All-Star break. He'll look to get back on track in a tough road matchup in Atlanta during next weekend's three-game series.

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.
