The Cincinnati Reds announced earlier this afternoon that they have picked up right-handed pitcher Kevin Gausman off of waivers. He had previously been playing with the Atlanta Braves.
For Kevin Gausman, his last appearance came just the other day in a start against Cincinnati. It’s been a tough season for the right-hander, who now has an ERA of 6.19 on the season through 16 starts. He’s missed bats, racking up 85 strikeouts, and he’s had a solid walk rate, too – giving up just 27 of them in 80.0 innings. But he’s been very hittable, and like the majority of baseball, has struggled a little bit in allowing home runs.
