Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (shoulder) is expected to make his season debut on April 5.

What It Means:

Gausman is only expected to miss one turn in the rotation. Once he's active, it'll force either Bryse Wilson, Kyle Wright, or Max Fried to lose their spot.

numberFire's models expect Gausman to record a 4.36 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 156 strikeouts and 54 walks across 183 2/3 innings this season.
