Update Regarding Blue Jays Ace Kevin Gausman
The Toronto Blue Jays announced that their ace pitcher Kevin Gausman will likely not be pitching on opening day as he is still dealing with a shoulder injury.
#BlueJays' ace Gausman doesn't seem to be on track for Opening Day 😳
Gausman has yet to pitch at spring training as the team wants to make sure he is rested and healed for the season. The Jays mentioned that they rather he be fully healthy and pitch two fewer games than force an early come back to get an extra few games out of him.
Kevin Gausman will throw one inning of live batting practice today, not two, and build up from there. Making that Opening Day start on March 28 looks unlikely.
"We just want him to be good, and if that means 30 starts as opposed to 32, we'll be pretty happy with that.»
