Pitcher Kevin Gausman will be back on the mound starting for the Toronto Blue Jays to open their series against the Kansas City Royals, interim manager John Schneider said in a post game press conference.
Gausman hasn't pitched since exiting the game against the Rays on July 2 with a bruised right ankle, and was rumoured to return earlier, and was speculated to appear on Tuesday against the Phillies but had his return date pushed back multiple times.
The 31-year-old currently has a 2.86 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 88 innings pitched through his first 16 starts in Toronto.
