Kevin Gausman pitched seven scoreless innings and the Cubs erupted for seven runs against Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks, buoyed by Michael Conforto’s 3-for-3 night with a walk and a homer. The Cubs leaned on a multi-hit night from the lineup (including notable two-out RBI) and, despite a late on-field clash over sign-stealing rumors, cruised to a 7-0 victory with a strong team effort all around.
Kevin Gausman dazzled in his Cubs debut, pitching seven innings of two‑run ball on 96 pitches with 4 strikeouts; the Cubs built a lead that held as Pedro Ramirez homered in the eighth and Jacob Webb locked down a 6-4 win over Kansas City, extending Chicago’s win streak to five.
Chicago traded minor-leaguers Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene to Toronto for veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman, adding a durable, playoff-tested arm to a Cubs rotation hit hard by injuries. CBS Sports grades the Cubs an A and the Jays a B, calling the return solid for a rental at the trade deadline.
The Chicago Cubs acquired right-hander Kevin Gausman from the Toronto Blue Jays as a deadline rental, taking on a bit over $7 million of Gausman’s $23 million salary for this season in exchange for a package that reportedly includes Cubs prospects Ty Southisene and Brett Bateman (MLB Pipeline ranking No. 13 and No. 21 in the system). Gausman sports a 4.38 ERA and 1.288 WHIP across 23 starts (127.1 innings) this year, and with about 50 games remaining, Chicago projects roughly 10 starts from him. His first Cubs outing could come against his former club in a makeup game at Wrigley. This deal follows the similarly cash-intensive Taillon exchange with Toronto announced earlier today.
The Cubs acquired Kevin Gausman from the Blue Jays for Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene, adding a veteran playoff-tested starter (14 playoff appearances, 2.93 ERA last postseason) who can immediately anchor Chicago’s rotation; Toronto, a seller with a disappointing stretch, moves on with Gausman as a free agent after 2026.
Kevin Gausman was traded to the Braves in 2018 but struggled in 2019 due to injuries and mechanical issues, leading to his release. The Braves let him go because he refused a bullpen role, and he subsequently improved with other teams, notably the Giants.
Ronald Acuna is expected to be ready for opening day after being diagnosed with meniscus irritation in his knee, while Kevin Gausman is dealing with shoulder fatigue but is expected to miss only a turn or two. Wyatt Langford is making a case for a big-league job with the Rangers, and several pitchers are vying for rotation spots. Chris Sale is showing promising signs in spring training, and Anthony Rizzo is regaining his power after recovering from post-concussion symptoms. Bailey Ober is impressing with increased velocity and a new cutter, and prospect Henry Davis is making a strong case for a big-league role with the Pirates.
The Toronto Blue Jays showcased their winning blueprint for October with a 6-1 victory over the New York Yankees. The team's success lies in their strong pitching, solid defense, and ability to scrape across runs. Despite a lack of offense, pitcher Kevin Gausman delivered a dominant performance with 10 strikeouts over six scoreless innings. The Blue Jays' bullpen also proved reliable, setting the stage for success in the postseason. The team's focus now is to maintain their momentum and replicate their winning formula against other playoff contenders.
The Toronto Blue Jays, on a four-game winning streak, face the Detroit Tigers, who have lost three of their last four games. The Blue Jays' offense has been sluggish, but they had a rare offensive explosion in their last game. Kevin Gausman, the Blue Jays' ace, has been strong early in games and will face a Tigers offense that ranks third-last in runs per game. The prediction is for a scoreless first inning and a low-scoring game overall. The Blue Jays are favored to win.
The Boston Red Sox aim to complete a series sweep over the Toronto Blue Jays as they face off in the final game of their three-game set. The Blue Jays turn to ace Kevin Gausman to try and salvage a win, but the Red Sox offense has come alive, scoring 12 runs in the first two games. Gausman has been solid in his recent outings, but the Red Sox will look to continue their offensive momentum.
The San Francisco Giants defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0, with former Giants pitcher Kevin Gausman on the mound. Gausman struck out 12 batters but allowed one run in six innings before being replaced. The Giants' bullpen, led by Alex Wood, combined for 17 strikeouts, securing their 10th consecutive road win and the longest single-season streak in San Francisco history. Thairo Estrada's single and stolen base set up the Giants' first run, while Patrick Bailey's double drove in another. The Giants' rookie catcher also made a key defensive play, throwing out a baserunner. The team's success in bullpen games and the strong performance of their pitchers contributed to the victory.
Kevin Gausman is projected to pitch deep and keep the runs suppressed in the Blue Jays vs Marlins game. The Marlins rank 8th in the league in K% but also had seven starters on Monday with a strikeout rate of 24% or more. The getaway game is a perfect backdrop for a weaker afternoon Miami lineup and possibly a bigger strike zone from home-plate umpire Nick Mahrley, who is 8-3 to the Under on the season. Gausman's Over 6.5 strikeouts projects well and it wouldn't surprise me if he and Alcantara traded zeroes this afternoon.
The Toronto Blue Jays will face off against the Miami Marlins in the final game of their three-game series. The Blue Jays have struggled recently, while the Marlins are playing their best baseball of the season. Kevin Gausman will pitch for the Blue Jays, while Sandy Alcantara will take the mound for the Marlins. Gausman has been consistent this season, while Alcantara has struggled to replicate his numbers from last season. The Blue Jays are favored to win with a money line of -130.
