The Blue Jays will start Kevin Gausman in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees at home on Saturday.

The Toronto Blue Jays have named Kevin Gausman as their starter for Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees on Saturday at Rogers Centre. Gausman, 34, finished the 2025 season with a 10-11 record, 3.59 ERA, and 189 strikeouts in 193 innings, including strong home performances and a 2-1 record with a 3.97 ERA in four starts against the Yankees. The Blue Jays, who earned home-field advantage, are preparing for the series with shortstop Bo Bichette’s status uncertain due to a knee sprain, potentially paving the way for Isiah Kiner-Falefa to start.
