What It Means:

Gausman was put on waivers by the Braves this past weekend after allowing 5 runs over 4 2/3 innings Friday in his most recent start. The 28-year-old right-hander has posted a career-worst 6.19 ERA through 80 frames. He will likely work out of the bullpen for Cincinnati at the outset.

Gausman is 3-7 in 16 starts with 85 strikeouts and 27 walks.
