Gausman (3-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.1 innings to earn the win Friday over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays' offense was hot early, giving Gausman ample support. He started to fade in the sixth inning, but he didn't give away the lead. While this wasn't Gausman's best work overall, it was enough to earn him a win for the first time in four starts. He also avoided walking a batter for the third time this year, though the seven hits allowed were a season high. The right-hander has posted a 3.97 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB through 45.1 innings over eight starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Rays.

Gausman came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Guardians, scattering one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out nine.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander put together perhaps his best performance of the season, generating 32 called or swinging strikes among his 94 pitches (66 total strikes), but he missed out on his third win of the year when the Blue Jays' bullpen melted down late. The quality start was Gausman's fourth in seven trips to the mound, and he'll take a 3.83 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB through 40 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Seattle.

Gausman (2-3) took the loss in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, allowing six runs on three hits and five walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman got through the first two innings with relative ease but ran into trouble in the third. He issued a single and five walks (including two with the bases loaded) before giving up a bases-clearing double to Austin Wells that gave the Yankees a 6-1 lead. Gausman tossed 53 of his 71 pitches in the third inning before being lifted and is now up to a 4.50 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 34 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Guardians.

Gausman and the Blue Jays won't face the Yankees on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather
EDGE Analysis
Toronto and New York will play a doubleheader Sunday to make up for Saturday's contest, and Gausman will start the early game. He'll be looking to bounce back from a subpar performance his last time out, which saw him give up four runs in six innings against the Astros.

Gausman (2-2) took the loss against Houston on Monday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman held Houston scoreless through four innings, but Atlanta got to him for four runs in the fifth. That was more than enough to send the veteran righty to his second loss, as Astros ace Hunter Brown dominated Toronto's lineup. Gausman still holds a solid 3.16 ERA on the campaign, and Monday marked the first time in 2025 that he's given up more than three runs in an outing. He'll look to get back in the win column his next time out, though he's projected for a tough matchup on the road against the Yankees this weekend.

Gausman (2-1) allowed two runs on six hits while striking out six in six innings in a win over Atlanta on Tuesday. He did not issue a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman found himself trailing early after Austin Riley took him deep in the opening frame. Gausman cruised from there, however, allowing four base hits over the next four innings with just one runner reaching scoring position. Matt Olson was able to get a hold of one in the sixth, but the Blue Jays were still leading comfortably. Gausman has posted consecutive starts of six-plus innings and no walks. He's been ace material thus far, posting a 2.49 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB in 25.1 innings. He's set to take the mound again next week versus the Astros on the road.

Gausman did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox. He allowed one unearned run on four hits while striking out 10 across eight innings.
EDGE Analysis
The lone run Gausman yielded Wednesday came in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Alex Bregman, but it was unearned due to a fielding error that saw Jarren Duran advance from second to third base. Gausman proceeded to steamroll the Red Sox lineup, retiring 21 of the next 23 batters faced while striking out 10 (including five straight punchouts across the fourth and fifth frames) for his second quality start. He's posted a 2.60 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in his first three outings, and he'll look to earn his second win of 2025 in his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week at home against Atlanta.

Gausman (1-1) allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman was tagged for a two-run home run by Pete Alonso in the first inning, but he settled down fairly well after that. The Mets started making more noise in the sixth, and Gausman was charged with one of the three runs in that inning. Gausman has allowed five runs over 11.1 innings with a 4:3 K:BB over his first two starts this season. He was given extra rest after his first start, but there was no indication of any physical issues involved in that decision. If he pitches on normal rest his next time out, he would line up for a road start in Boston.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Gausman's next start is likely to come Friday against the Mets, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Easton Lucas is tentatively lined up to start Wednesday in place of Max Scherzer (thumb), as long as Lucas not needed in relief Tuesday. Gausman would be pitching on seven days' rest if he does indeed take the ball Friday.

The Blue Jays could push Gausman's next start back to Friday against the Mets, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman is currently scheduled to take the ball Wednesday versus the Nationals, but the Blue Jays might have Easton Lucas start that day if he's not needed in long relief before then. There does not appear to be anything wrong physically with Gausman, as this would simply give him a couple extra days of rest and also allow him to face the tougher lineup.
