Gausman (1-2) took the loss against the Reds on Tuesday by six runs (five earned) on eight hits across 5.1 innings. He struck out six and walked two.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman was in line for the victory to begin the sixth inning but two hits, an error and some shoddy bullpen work ended up handing him the loss. The 28-year-old has a 3.96 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB over 25 innings heading into Sunday's start against the Rockies.

Gausman allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out 10 Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman controlled the strike zone well throughout his start, beginning 17 of the 25 batters he faced with a strike while also generating 13 called strikes and 19 swinging strikes. While he stumbled a bit in his last start, Gausman has looked strong in two of his first three outings, going seven innings in each and allowing a combined two earned runs. Overall, he's racked up 22 strikeouts while posting a 2.75 ERA and 0.76 WHIP across 19.2 innings this season.

Gausman (1-1) allowed four earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman served up a three-run homer to Amed Rosario in the second inning to account for three of his four earned runs. He was relatively sharp after that frame, as he allowed only four singles and a walk in his final 3.2 innings of work. Gausman will look to bounce back in his next start, likely to come on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Gausman's scheduled start Wednesday against the Rockies has been postponed due to rain, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
EDGE Analysis
While nothing is official, the Braves figure to push their rotation back by a day, leaving Gausman to take the ball for Thursday's series opener against the Mets. The right-hander was sharp in his season debut against the Marlins over the weekend, striking out seven across seven scoreless innings while picking up the win.

Gausman (1-0) struck out seven and picked up the win Friday, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start of the season, Gausman walked the first two batters he faced but then got a double play to squelch the rally and settled down after that. The right-hander will get a much more challenging assignment in his next trip to the mound Wednesday on the road in Colorado.

Gausman (shoulder) was activated off the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's start against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman threw 90 pitches across six innings during a minor-league start last Saturday, paving the way for his 2019 debut versus the Marlins. Shoulder issues delayed the 28-year-old's work in spring training, leading him to miss the first turn through the rotation for the Braves. Gausman put up the best numbers of his career after being traded to Atlanta last July with a 2.87 RA, 1.14 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB in 10 starts.

Gausman (shoulder) is on track to debut Friday against the Marlins, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman fired 90 pitches over six innings during a minor-league start Saturday, lining him up to make his 2019 debut later this week. In 10 start with the Braves last season, the right-hander compiled a 2.87 ERA and 44:18 K:BB in 59.2 innings.

Gausman (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day IL, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He tossed 3.1 innings, striking out five, in his final Grapefruit League outing over the weekend, but is not quite ready to take a spot in the Braves' rotation. He could return late next week.

Gausman (shoulder) allowed three hits and three walks over 3.1 scoreless innings while striking out five in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander will begin the season on the IL, but his shoulder didn't seem to be an issue Sunday and the delay in his season debut is simply due to him needing to build up his pitch count. Barring a setback, Gausman should be activated and take the mound ahead of an April 5 home start against the Marlins.

Gausman (shoulder) will begin the season on the injured list, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman is behind schedule due to a minor shoulder issue that delayed him earlier in camp, so the right-hander will stay back at extended spring training to get up to speed before joining the rotation when first eligible (April 5 against the Marlins). He tossed 58 pitches in a minor-league game Tuesday but will need to get up to 90 pitches before being cleared to join the rotation.
