Gausman Set for Cubs Debut vs Royals

Veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman is expected to make his Chicago Cubs debut Friday night against the Kansas City Royals.

Kevin Gausman, who was traded from Toronto to Chicago on Sunday, was added to the Cubs' active roster before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. The 35-year-old right-hander is 5-10 with a 4.38 ERA in 23 starts this season but brings a solid track record to Chicago, having pitched at least 174 2/3 innings in each of the previous five years. Gausman helped Toronto reach the 2025 World Series, going 2-3 with a 2.93 ERA in six postseason starts. truewildslot.com
