Traded to Cubs
Gausman was traded from the Blue Jays to the Cubs on Sunday night in exchange for minor-league infielder Ty Southisene and outfielder Brett Bateman, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Gausman will head west to join the Cubs after posting a 4.38 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 127 punchouts over 127.1 innings in 23 starts with Toronto this season. The right-hander has allowed three or fewer runs in three of his last four outings, which is a step in the right direction after he compiled an inflated 6.51 ERA over seven starts between June 2 and July 6. Gausman will go from a last-place team in the AL East to a Chicago squad that is 14 games over .500 and four games above the next closest team in the NL wild-card race.

Nabs fifth win Saturday
Gausman (5-10) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on nine hits and one walk over 5.2 innings in a 5-1 victory over the Cardinals. He struck out four.
Analyse
In what could be his final start as a Blue Jay, Gausman blanked the Cards for five frames before running out of steam in the sixth and falling just short of his 12th quality start of the season. It was the veteran righty's best performance since June 30, after he'd stumbled to a 6.10 ERA in 20.2 innings over four outings in July. He also secured his first win since May 22. If he remains with Toronto past the trade deadline, Gausman is set to take the mound on the road next week against the Cubs.
