Gausman tossed six innings during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners, allowing one run on five hits and one walk. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The only damage against Gausman came courtesy of a Kyle Seager solo home run during the fourth inning. The Orioles anemic offense has scored only seven runs in the 27-year-old's last four starts, in which he is 0-1 with a 3.11 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 23.1 innings. Gausman lines up to take the mound against the Angels on Sunday.

Gausman threw six innings Thursday, allowing two runs on four walks and four hits while striking out three in a 4-2 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
It was a lackluster start but certainly not one of Gausman's worst. He was able to avoid the loss, but the 27-year-old hasn't picked up a win since May 11 against the Rays. His ERA has lowered to 4.38 across 88.1 innings alongside a 84:24 K:BB. Gausman will get the ball next Tuesday when Baltimore hosts the Mariners.

Gausman (3-6) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings while striking out seven as the Orioles fell 2-0 to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander fell an out shy of his eighth quality start of the season, throwing 71 of 107 pitches for strikes, but another feeble effort from the O's offense kept Gausman out of the win column. He'll face a tougher test in his next outing Wednesday on the road against the Nationals.

Gausman (3-5) gave up three earned runs on nine hits over 6.2 innings in Saturday's extra-inning loss to Toronto. He struck out six, walked none and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman had allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over his last two outings (eight innings), but responded with a quality start Saturday. The 27-year-old has a 4.58 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 74 strikeouts across 76.2 innings, and is next slated to start against the Marlins on Friday.

Gausman struck out 10 in 6.1 scoreless innings Tuesday, allowing nine hits and one walk in a no-decision against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman had a two-run lead when he left the game, but the Orioles bullpen gave it up. This was Gausman's sixth quality start on the year, and he's brought his ERA down to 3.48 to go along with a 1.31 WHIP. He has an excellent 58:15 K:BB in 62 innings, and will take on the Rays in Tampa Bay in his next start.

Gausman (3-3) took the loss Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander unsurprisingly ran into trouble against Boston's elite lineup. Though Gausman rattled off three scoreless innings after a two-run first, a four-run rally -- capped by a three-run blast from Xander Bogaerts -- kept him from finishing the fifth. On the bright side, this was the first time Gausman had allowed more than three runs in a start since his season opener April 1, and he had notched a quality start in five of his previous six assignments. He still sports a useful 3.88 ERA on the season and should have an easier go of it against the White Sox on Tuesday to initiate a scheduled two-start week.

The Orioles will push Gausman back a day in the pitching schedule and have him make his next start Thursday against the Red Sox in Boston, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The change amounts to a downgrade for Gausman's fantasy outlook this week, as he'll miss out on a matchup with the Phillies at Camden Yards and instead take on a Boston offense that ranks fourth in the majors in terms of team wRC+ (118) at home this season. It's hard to fault manager Buck Showalter for wanting to save Gausman for a tougher matchup, as the right-hander has been the clear staff ace for a deplorable Orioles rotation this season. Since serving up six runs in his first outing of the campaign, Gausman has delivered quality starts in five of his last seven turns, generating a 2.30 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over that span.

Gausman (3-2) picked up the win over the Rays on Friday, allowing two runs on 11 hits over 7.1 innings while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw 86 of 107 pitches for strikes, and while Gausman managed only one 1-2-3 inning on the night, he was mostly able to wiggle out of the jams the Rays' barrage of singles created. He's now delivered quality starts in five of his last six outings, and he'll take a 3.18 ERA into his next trip to the mound Wednesday at home against the Phillies.

Gausman (2-2) gave up one run on five hits and three walks in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The single run Gausman allowed came off a solo home run hit by John Hicks in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old has now put together three consecutive outings in which he's allowed two runs or less, lowering his ERA from 6.60 to 4.15 in that time. Although he struck out just four batters in his latest victory, Gausman has started to show the upside that fantasy owners hoped he would deliver. His next start projects to be Saturday against Oakland.

Gausman (1-2) took a hard-luck loss against the Indians on Monday, giving up two earned runs on four hits over eight innings, striking out seven and walking one in Baltimore's 2-1 defeat.
EDGE Analysis
After getting lit up for six earned runs by the Twins in his first outing of the season, Gausman has righted the ship, with the strong showing against Cleveland representing his third consecutive quality start. His 4.66 ERA and 1.31 WHIP are still a bit bloated thanks to that rough showing to begin the season, but his strong body of work since then and his 26:7 K:BB suggests that the right-hander is on a positive trajectory in terms of his fantasy potential. He'll look to keep it rolling in his next start on Saturday against the Tigers.
