Kevin Gausman News
Right-hander Kevin Gausman will be starting for the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday in the second game of their four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. Gausman struggled to begin the year with his velocity, but in his last start against the Yankees, the right-hander had success, as he went five innings and allowed just one run on four hits while striking out six. Gausman is 0-2 with an 8.16 ERA this season and will face a Royals lineup that is slashing .237/.306/.405.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman will make his third start of the season against the Colorado Rockies at the Rogers Centre this evening. The ace pitcher was dealing with shoulder fatigue earlier in the offseason, which prevented him from seeing time in Spring Training and delayed his season debut. He threw four one-run innings against the Tampa Bay Rays in his first start but struggled mightily in his second against the New York Yankees, where he allowed five earned runs. Gausman's velocity dipped in that start but did not express much concern. The 33-year-old should have an excellent opportunity to deliver a quality start against a Rockies team that has the sixth most total strikeouts, making him a fantastic option in DFS.
Fantasy managers might be worried about right-hander Kevin Gausman after his disastrous first start of the season against the New York Yankees on Saturday in which he allowed six runs (five earned) in just 1 1/3 innings, but Gausman isn't too worried after the velocity on all of his pitches was down three to five mph. The 33-year-old All-Star blamed it more on the cold weather in the Bronx more than anything, and fantasy managers must remember that Gausman got a late start to the 2024 season due to right-shoulder fatigue that he dealt with in spring training. "It's just about locating a little bit better," said manager John Schneider. Gausman's velocity was down early in the year in 2023, too, so this shouldn't be a sign of bad things to come in 2024 for Toronto's ace.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman turned in yet another strong season in 2023. The 32-year-old made 31 starts, going 12-9 with a 3.16 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, and a 31.1% strikeout rate in 185 innings pitched. Most of Gausman's peripherals were ace-like, but his WHIP was rather high for the second consecutive season. In terms of walks, his 7.2% walk rate was higher than his career mark of 6.6% but was not egregious. However, he did give up a lot of hard contact, which may have impacted his .321 BABIP. Gausman is currently being drafted at about pick 32 overall, making him the seventh starting pitcher off the board. Despite the relatively high WHIP, Gausman has proven to be a strong source of ERA and strikeouts while turning in a high number of innings. While wary fantasy managers may not want him to lead their staff, his high level of overall production and the lack of true top-tier pitching options make him a reasonable ace pick.
