Cincinnati Reds claim pitcher Kevin Gausman off waivers from Atlanta Braves

It's five days after MLB's Trade Deadline, but the Cincinnati Reds aren't done adding players to their roster.

The Reds claimed right-handed pitcher Kevin Gausman off waivers Monday. Gausman, who faced the Reds on Friday, was placed on outright waivers by the Atlanta Braves. The right-hander had a 6.19 ERA in 16 starts this season with 85 strikeouts and 27 walks in 80 innings.

Gausman missed nearly a month of the season with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He was traded to the Braves last summer. He had a 3.92 ERA in 31 starts during the 2018 season with the Braves and Baltimore Orioles.
