The Toronto Blue Jays scratched ace Kevin Gausman ahead of Saturday’s scheduled start against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.
The 32-year-old right-hander is experiencing discomfort in his left side. The team said an MRI showed no concerns and he is considered day-to-day.
Named an All-Star for the second time this season, Gausman is 7-5 with a 3.03 ERA through 19 starts. He leads the American League with 153 strikeouts in 115 2/3 innings.
Right-hander Chris Bassitt will replace Gausman. He entered Saturday with an 8-5 record and a 4.19 ERA through 19 starts.
