Gausman will not start Game 3 of the NLDS on Sunday against the Dodgers as expected, with Sean Newcomb getting the call instead.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves decided to go with the lefty Newcomb despite his poor finish to the season. With Atlanta already facing elimination, the Braves could wind up giving Newcomb just one turn through the order before turning to a right-hander, which could be Gausman.

Manager Brian Snitker said Gausman is scheduled to start Game 3 against the Dodgers on Sunday, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

As long as Gausman isn't used in relief during Game 2 on Friday, the right-hander will get the ball for Sunday's potentially decisive game. The 27-year-old has posted a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB through 10 starts (59.2 innings) since joining the Braves. While he's never started a playoff game before, Gausman has allowed just one run across three postseason relief appearances (eight innings).

Gausman (10-11) took the loss in Sunday's game against the Phillies, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits across five innings. He struck out six and walked three.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman ran into trouble during the first inning as he gave up two runs on two hits and a walk, including a solo home run to Cesar Hernandez. The right-hander finishes the regular season with a 3.92 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 183.2 total innings, but had a much improved 2.87 ERA and 1.14 WHIP after being traded from the Orioles to the Braves.

Gausman will start Sunday's game against Philadelphia, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman will be extremely well rested after his latest outing occurred Sept. 20 versus the Phillies. During that start, he allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven across 6.1 innings. He will follow Mike Foltynewicz and Anibal Sanchez in the rotation for Atlanta's final series of the 2018 regular season.

Gausman earned a quality start but had to settle for a no-decision in Thursday's game against the Phillies. He allowed three earned runs, five hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman ran into some trouble early after allowing three runs in the first three frames, but he settled down and retired the final 11 batters he faced to earn the quality start. He began his stint with the Braves on a roll, but Gausman has now allowed 10 earned runs over his past three starts spanning 16.2 innings. He owns a 3.93 ERA with a 142:47 K:BB ratio over 178.2 innings in 2018, and he'll look build off his quality outing in his next start, which is currently scheduled for Thursday against the Mets.

Gausman (10-10) picked up the win Friday, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks over 5.2 innings while striking out one in a 10-5 victory over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander is now 5-2 with a 2.61 ERA in eight starts as a Brave, although Gausman hasn't been quite as sharp in September, allowing a homer in three straight outings with a 4.41 ERA and 9:6 K:BB in 16.1 innings. He'll try to find his August form again when he takes the mound Wednesday at home against the Cardinals.

Gausman (9-9) threw five shutout innings, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out five as he notched the victory Sunday against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman cruised through five innings of work, allowing just two batters to reach base. He's looked sharp on the hill since being traded from the Marlins prior to the deadline, owning a 4-1 record and surrendering six runs across 32 innings while fanning 22 (five starts). He'll carry a 3.87 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 126 punchouts through 156 innings into his next start Saturday against the Pirates.

Gausman (8-9) earned the win against the Pirates on Tuesday, striking out five and scattering four hits and two walks across eight scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman gave up two hits and a walk during the sixth inning, but was otherwise dominant in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. The 27-year-old has now allowed only six runs and 20 hits over 27 innings during his four starts since being acquired by the Braves at the non-waiver trade deadline. Gausman currenlty lines up to start next Tuesday against Tampa Bay.

Gausman's next outing has been moved to Tuesday versus Pittsburgh with Bryse Wilson starting Monday's series opener, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Bowman, Gausman was told about the change Sunday night. This switch allows the club to move each member of the rotation back a day, which isn't completely surprising given that the Braves are about to play their 17th game in the past 15 days.

Gausman (6-9) picked up the win in Friday's 10-1 victory over the Brewers, allowing one run on six hits over eight innings while striking out eight.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back, but Gausman didn't need the extra run support he was given. The right-hander pounded the strike zone, throwing 71 of 94 pitches for strikes, and he'll take a 4.27 ERA into his next start Wednesday at home against the Marlins.
