Fantasy Impact

He allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings. This outing was a typical display of efficiency from Gausman, who has maintained a respectable 3.83 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across 31 starts this season. His ability to limit damage while notching a win helps bolster his fantasy value, especially in leagues where quality starts and wins are highly prized. Despite a slightly lower strikeout rate this year at 8.1 K/9, his control remains a strong point, evidenced by a solid 2.89 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Fantasy managers should continue to view Gausman as a reliable starting option, particularly in matchups against less formidable offenses.

Kevin Gausman delivered a masterful performance in Thursday's 4-0 victory over the Texas Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

He tossed five hitless innings, allowing just one walk while striking out six. This outing is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat turbulent season for Gausman, who leaves the game with a 3.91 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. His ability to maintain a no-hit bid through five innings should reassure fantasy managers about his potential despite the ups and downs. With his ERA likely improved and his WHIP slightly tightened after this game, Gausman remains a viable fantasy starter, particularly in leagues that value strikeouts and WHIP. His consistent strikeout ability, evidenced by his 8.2 K/9 rate this season, continues to be a key asset.

Fantasy Impact

Gausman was breezing through this game, allowing no hits through five innings on 58 pitches. More information on the severity of the injury should come soon but given the Blue Jays low chance of a playoff berth, it is possible that he won't make another start this season.

Kevin Gausman delivered a workmanlike performance, allowing two earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings in the Blue Jays' 4-3 victory over the Cardinals on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not factoring into the decision, Gausman's outing was crucial in keeping the game close and helping his team secure a win. His season ERA now sits at 4.02, with a WHIP of 1.25, reflecting a mostly consistent, performance throughout the year. While his strikeout rate has dipped slightly to 8.1 K/9, his ability to manage games and maintain a solid ERA and WHIP should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats. However, fantasy managers might want to temper expectations for high strikeout totals moving forward.
