Gausman dropped his appeal of a five-game suspension and will begin serving the ban Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Major League Baseball first levied the suspension on Gausman on May 6 after he was ejected from his start against the Marlins three days earlier for intentionally throwing at Miami pitcher Jose Urena. Gausman chose to fight the suspension immediately and proceeded made a six-inning start against the Diamondbacks, then dropped the appeal ahead of Monday's team off day. The break in the schedule will allow the Braves to get by with a four-man rotation until Gausman is eligible to return to action for a start Saturday against the Brewers.

Gausman (2-3) picked up the win in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Diamondbacks, giving up one run on five hits and two walks over six innings while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander threw 59 of 84 pitches for strikes in delivering his third quality start in eight trips to the mound. Gausman will take a 4.50 ERA and 46:17 K:BB through 42 innings into his next outing Friday, at home against the Brewers.

Gausman (1-3) took the loss Monday, giving up five runs (three earned) on seven hits and four walks over 4.1 innings while striking out six as Atlanta was downed 5-3 by the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Slapped with a five-game suspension prior to the start of the game that he immediately appealed. Gausman's focus may have been disrupted, and even one of the unearned runs was a product of his own throwing error. The right-hander will take a 5.00 ERA and 40:15 K:BB through 36 innings into his next start, although when that outing happens will depend on how quickly his appeal gets heard, or if he decides to drop it and begin serving his suspension immediately.

Gausman was suspended five games and fined an undisclosed amount Monday for throwing behind Marlins pitcher Jose Urena in his previous start, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman is appealing the suspension and is still expected to start Monday against the Dodgers. He can time his appeal such that the suspension amounts to nothing more than an extra day of rest if he drops his appeal following Monday's game.

Gausman will start Monday against the Dodgers, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman will pitch on two days' rest after being ejected for throwing being Jose Urena just 28 pitches into his previous start Friday against the Marlins. He'll bump Max Fried back to Tuesday and Mike Foltynewicz back to Wednesday.

Gausman was ejected from Friday's game against the Marlins in the second inning for throwing behind Jose Urena, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to exiting, Gausman allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one across 1.2 innings. Seeing as the right-hander only threw 28 pitches before being tossed, manager Brian Snitker said he could be used sooner than his next scheduled start, per 680 The Fan Atlanta.

Gausman allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Sunday's no-decision against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Both starting pitchers struggled to find it in the series finale, and while Gausman was spotted an early 3-0 lead, he'd quickly surrender it during a four-run third inning. The right-hander has yet to find consistency in 2019, as he's given up four or more runs in three of his five starts. Gausman owns a 4.80 ERA with 33 strikeouts over 30 innings this season.

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.
