Fantasy Impact
Gausman suffered the shoulder injury while diving to tag a runner out at third base. He exited the game following the play, but he had already reached 101 pitches at that point, so it's unclear whether he would have been able to pitch through the issue. He finished the contest allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven across 5.2 innings. The Cubs will monitor him closely over the next few days before determining his status for the start of the postseason.
