Kevin Gausman fans six in 2024 debut | 03/31/2024 Kevin Gausman cruises through 4 1/3 innings, giving up one run and striking out six, during his first start of the season against the Rays

Starting Sunday against Rays Gausman will start Sunday's game against the Rays in Tampa Bay, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The Blue Jays were debating whether to start Gausman or Bowden Francis on Sunday. Gausman convinced the team that he is good to go by fanning seven over three-plus innings in a Grapefruit League game Monday, then completing a bullpen session Friday. That means Francis will move back to Monday's series opener in Houston. A bout of shoulder fatigue disrupted Gausman's spring training, but he progressed quickly enough to avoid the injured list to open 2024, and it looks like he will have a full first half to make his case for a third All-Star selection in four years.

Throws bullpen session Friday Gausman (shoulder) threw a bullpen session at Tropicana Field on Friday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Gausman is slated to make his season debut either Sunday against the Rays or Monday versus the Astros, with Blue Jays manager John Schneider saying a decision would likely be announced Saturday. The fact that he's throwing a bullpen session Friday would seem to point to Gausman taking the ball Sunday, but the final call will be made Saturday.

Impact Gausman will be making his spring debut Monday after he received the green light to start following a successful side session Saturday. Though Gausman still won't be fully built up for a traditional starting role even if Monday's outing goes smoothly, both the right-hander and the Blue Jays are optimistic that it will be enough for him to avoid a stint on the 15-day injured list to open the season. Manager John Schneider has already confirmed Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt and Yusei Kikuchi as the starters for the Blue Jays' first three games of the team's season-opening series with the Rays that begins Thursday, while Bowden Francis tentatively lines up to take the hill for Sunday's series finale. Gausman thus appears positioned to start the Blue Jays' fifth game of the season, an April 1 road matchup with the Astros. Davidi speculates that Gausman would likely be in line for a 65-to-70-pitch outing in Houston and progressively get stretched out before handling a more typical starter's workload by his third start of the season.
