Five innings for Kevin Gausman He has one more start before the season begins.

Gausman threw 70 pitches over five innings — lots of changeups and sliders, which are focuses for him this spring. Gausman wants to throw more changeups in '26. If he can get them for strikes, it could help him get more swings and misses with splitters below the zone.— Arden Zwelling (@ArdenZwelling) March 15, 2026
