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.

Gausman (personal) could start Monday against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman missed his scheduled start Friday against the Cardinals to be with his wife in the hospital. She's scheduled to be discharged Sunday, so Gausman could be back on the mound the next day.

Gausman will not start Friday against the Cardinals after being placed on the Family Medical Emergency list, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman will miss at least the next three games, meaning he won't pitch until Monday against the Dodgers at the earliest. Logan Webb will be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to start in his place Friday.

Gausman (9-3) won Sunday's 3-1 game against Washington, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts in six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman cruised through the game's first six innings but ran into trouble in the seventh when he loaded the bases with no outs and was lifted for reliever Dominic Leone. Only one inherited runner scored as Gausman and the Giants were able to escape the jam and sail to an eventual victory. The first-time All-Star won't play in Tuesday's game as a result of pitching Sunday and concludes the first half with a sensational 1.73 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 124:30 K:BB ratio.

Gausman (8-3) took the loss Monday versus the Cardinals after allowing two runs on three hits with eight strikeouts and two walks over seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander didn't surrender a hit until the seventh inning, but two singles and then a triple from Matt Carpenter staked St. Louis a two-run lead. It's the second straight loss for Gausman and the third loss in his past five starts, though he still has a 2.90 ERA during that stretch. The right-hander will attempt to get back in the win column this weekend against the Nationals in his final start before the All-Star break.

Gausman (8-2) allowed three runs on three hits and five walks with four strikeouts across five innings, taking the loss versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The five walks were a season high for the right-hander, who also allowed more than two runs for just the second time all year. Gausman's four strikeouts matched a season low. The 30-year-old has had very few missteps in 2021 with a 1.68 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 116:25 K:BB and just eight home runs allowed across 101.2 innings. He'll look to bounce back from this shaky outing next week versus St. Louis.

Gausman allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out nine across seven innings Wednesday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman delivered another gem, with the only run against him coming on a solo home run by Luis Rengifo in the fifth inning. He otherwise dominated the Angels, racking up 19 swinging strikes on 100 total pitches. The only downside to the outing was that Gausman wasn't rewarded with a win, though that was through no fault of his own. Gausman has now allowed two earned runs or less in 14 of his 15 starts this season, which has translated to a 1.49 ERA with a 112 strikeouts across 96.2 innings.
