Gausman (5-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-1 victory over the Astros, allowing one run on four hits over seven innings. He struck out 13 without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
One day after Alek Manoah lasted only one-third of an inning and lost his spot in the rotation, Gausman gave his bullpen a needed breather with another dominant performance. The veteran right-hander generated 36 called or swinging strikes among his 101 pitches as he tied his career high with 13 strikeouts, and if it weren't for a Mauricio Dubon leadoff homer, he might have taken aim at his first career shutout. Gausman has 10 quality starts and six double-digit strikeout efforts among his 13 outings this season, and he'll take a 2.63 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and eye-popping 113:18 K:BB through 82 innings into his next start, likely to come at home this weekend against the Twins.

Gausman (4-3) struck out 11 and allowed five hits and two walks across 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander produced 34 called or swinging strikes as he shut down Milwaukee to help deliver a series win for Toronto. Gausman has been dominant over his past five starts and has given up just five earns runs with 42 strikeouts during that span. The 32-year-old has a 2.76 ERA and 100:18 K:BB through 75 innings this season, and he tentatively lines up for a matchup with the Astros next week.

Gausman (3-3) earned the win Friday, allowing one run on four hits and five walks over 5.1 innings against the Twins. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis

Gausman did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over eight innings during an 8-3 loss to the Orioles in extras. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman surrendered two runs in the third but was otherwise sharp while tying his season high with eight completed frames. The strong outing lowered his ERA from 3.27 to 3.14, and he sports an outstanding 81:11 K:BB through 63 innings despite tying his season low with four strikeouts Sunday. Aside from two terrible outings, Gausman has been extremely sharp this year and will look to keep up his strong play next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for the opener of a three-game set in Minnesota.

Gausman didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out 10.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander fanned double-digit batters for the fourth time in nine starts, but Gausman exited with the score tied 3-3 and had no chance to earn his third win. The quality start was his fourth in his last five outings and seventh of the year, and he'll take a 3.27 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 77:9 K:BB through 55 innings into his next start, likely to come at home this weekend against the Orioles.

Gausman did not factor into the decision Wednesday, tossing six scoreless innings in which he allowed three hits during a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia. He struck out nine and did not walk a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman has been a hit-or-miss fantasy player so far. In five of his first eight starts, the right-hander has finished at least six scoreless innings, but he's surrendered 18 runs in his other three appearances, including a season-high eight last time out versus Boston. Gausman is currently sporting a 3.38 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a stellar 67:7 K:BB through 48 innings, but he's certainly capable of a clunker once in a while.

Gausman (2-3) allowed eight runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings, taking the loss Thursday versus the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman's biggest problems were in the second inning as the Red Sox rallied for a five-run frame. It's been all or nothing for Gausman over his last four starts -- two of them were seven scoreless innings each, and the other two in that span saw him fail to complete five frames. The right-hander now has a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 58:7 K:BB through 42 innings over seven starts. He's projected for a road start in Philadelphia next week.

Gausman didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Mariners, allowing six hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out a season-high 13.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander delivered another dominant performance along with his fifth quality start in six outings this season, but Gausman found himself locked in an unlikely pitchers' duel with unheralded rookie Easton McGee, who was making his first career big-league start. Gausman has double-digit punchouts in three of his last four trips to the mound, and he'll take a 2.33 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 54:6 K:BB through 38.2 innings into his next start, likely to come next week in Boston.

Gausman (2-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing just three hits over seven scoreless innings against the Yankees. He struck out 11.
EDGE Analysis
It was quite a bounce-back outing from Gausman, stymying a powerful Yankees lineup after he allowed seven earned runs in his last start in Houston. He matched a season high with 11 strikeouts while recording his second scoreless outing through five starts to begin the year. Gausman lowered his ERA to 2.84 with a 1.01 WHIP and a league-leading 41 strikeouts. He's lined up to make his next start at home against the Mariners.

Gausman (1-2) took the loss Monday, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a 9-2 loss against Houston. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman served up two-run doubles to Jose Abreu and Corey Julks before Jake Meyers crushed a three-run homer to give Houston a 7-0 lead in the first inning. The veteran right-hander was able to get out of the inning, but he dug Toronto too big of a hole, as Houston cruised to victory behind Cristian Javier. After allowing just three runs and posting a 25:3 K:BB over his first three outings, Gausman struggled mightily Monday, but he'll look to get back on track during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for the Blue Jays' upcoming three-game road set versus the Yankees.
