Kevin Gausman Activated To Start Friday
6 years agoThe Atlanta Braves are activating starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (shoulder) from the injured list in order for him to make his season debut against the Marlins. The 28-year-old threw 90 pitches in a minor league start last Saturday without complications after he fought through shoulder soreness in spring camp. Gausman had a 2.87 ERA with 44 strikeouts and 18 walks in 10 starts after being traded to Atlanta this year and should return mixed league value in 2019. He might not go long in his first start on Friday, but he's still a decent streaming option against the Fish in deeper leagues. Reliever Shane Carle was optioned to the minors to make room for Gausman on the roster.
