Breaking from the baseball diamonds, the Toronto Blue Jays have announced that Kevin Gausman will take the mound to start Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees this Saturday. Despite a rocky last outing against the Rays, Gausman’s consistent performance throughout the season has earned him the opening nod. The pitching lineup for the series will likely see Shane Bieber in Game 2, with rookie Trey Yesavage taking on Game 3 in New York. Depending on the series’ progression, either Chris Bassitt or Max Scherzer will handle Game 4, though the team might reconsider and opt for Gausman on short rest if necessary.
