Gausman held the Yankees scoreless over eight innings, allowing three hits with no walks and four strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman showed pinpoint control, breezing through his eight innings with only 98 pitches and not issuing a single walk. He did not pick up the win as the Orioles could not get a run across the plate until the 10th inning. After missing the first three weeks of the season, Gausman has been very good in each of his three starts. He threw 98 pitches Thursday and should have no restrictions going forward.

Gausman (0-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits while striking out three and walking one over six innings against the White Sox on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has looked good over his first two outings, but he's still looking for his first victory. Gausman threw 67 of his 94 pitches for strikes and left with a two-run lead, but the bullpen wasn't able to hold it. He is set to make his next start Friday against the Yankees.

Gausman (0-1) took the loss despite holding the Rays to one run on three hits and two walks over five innings Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman was nasty but wild in the minors as he rehabbed his injured shoulder -- he struck out 19 but walked five in three starts before receiving the call-up for Monday's start. He had similar issues Monday, as he walked two and put on a batter with a hit-by-pitch, but Gausman induced 11 swinging strikes to notch seven strikeouts and erase any rallies before they could snowball. Gausman's bigger issue in his career has been home runs -- he gave up 17 in just 112.1 innings last year, resulting in a 1.4 HR/9 and 4.25 ERA. When he kept the ball in the yard in 2014 (7 HR in 113.1 innings), Gausman posted a 3.57 ERA in 20 starts.

Gausman has been activated off the disabled list and is the starting pitcher for the Orioles on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman successfully made his way through his rehab program after injuring his shoulder late in spring training. He'll face a Rays lineup that is batting .227 as a team this year.

Gausman (shoulder) is slated to start Monday against the Rays, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander cleared the final hurdle on his road back from a shoulder injury, tossing 5.2 innings for Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday (91 pitches). He turned in a 19:5 K:BB across three levels during his minor league rehab assignment. His second start of the week will come at home against a White Sox team that currently ranks 14th in the AL in scoring (48 runs).

Gausman (shoulder) is expected to start for the Orioles on Monday or Tuesday next week, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman made two appearances at High-A Frederick during his rehab and pitched 5.1 innings, giving up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters. He's slated for a final tuneup start with Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, so fantasy owners may want to check the results of that start to make sure he made it through without any setbacks. While nothing is official, the 25-year-old could make his 2016 MLB debut early next week against the Rays.

Gausman (shoulder) will pitch for Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday before being activated off the DL, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman will work around five or six innings and is slated to throw 90 pitches. He's continued to have his return date pushed back as he deals with right shoulder tendinitis, but it appears as though the 25-year-old will be ready to rejoin the team following Wednesday's outing, which could put him in line for a start sometime early next week.

Gausman (shoulder) might make another rehab appearance before being activated from the DL, MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is not welcome news to owners, who originally thought the Orioles might activate Gausman as soon as April 10. Now he seems likely to be pushed back yet again. Gausman has allowed three runs -- one earned -- on eight hits with three walks and 10 strikeouts in 5.1 innings during his two rehab appearances thus far. The Orioles benefitted from a rainout Sunday and an off day Monday and that could push Gausman's return to next weekend. In order to make that happen, the Orioles would have to give Gausman a shortened start this week before calling his number to replace Vance Worley or Mike Wright in the rotation.

Gausman (shoulder) will pitch Friday at High-A and could rejoin the Orioles as soon April 21, MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman pitched two innings Sunday and was hit with a comebacker in his knee, an injury that was reportedly just a bruise. If all goes well, Gausman would likely slot in for a home start next Thursday against the Blue Jays. It seems like he will be lined up to take Vance Worley's rotation spot.

Gausman (shoulder) suffered a bruise on his left knee after getting hit by a comebacker in his rehab start at Double-A Bowie on Sunday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his first minor league rehab start, Gausman recorded a pair of scoreless innings while striking out two and walking one. After throwing 36 pitches Sunday, Gausman will likely need a minimum of two more rehab starts before he's ready to return to the Baltimore rotation.
