Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Gausman will start Saturday in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gausman started the team's regular-season finale Sunday and will come back on five days' rest to take the ball in the Blue Jays' first postseason contest. The right-hander held a 3.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 189:50 K:BB over 193 innings this season, and he was particularly good in the second half with a 2.81 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 85:16 K:BB across 83.1 frames. The Yankees have yet to announce their Game 1 starter, but it could be Luis Gil after he was left off the wild-card roster.

Merrill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Cubs in Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series.

Merrill accounted for the Padres' only run in their loss to the Cubs by leading off the ninth inning with a home run. He had a disappointing regular season but ended the campaign well, tallying eight home runs with 18 RBI and 18 runs scored across his final 22 games -- including the postseason.

Kittredge recorded the final two outs to earn the save in Thursday's win over the Padres in Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series.

Kittredge played a versatile role for the Cubs during their series against the Padres, as he served as the opener in Game 2. One day later, he relieved Brad Keller in the ninth inning with the game-tying run at second base. Kittredge has allowed one earned run across 2.2 innings this postseason.

Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's wild-card win over the Padres.

Crow-Armstrong logged the first postseason hits of his career and also recorded three hits in a game for the first time since Aug. 15. He's shifted down the Cubs' order as a result of his recent struggles, but he should remain a regular for the team's upcoming series against the Brewers in the NLDS.

Busch went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's wild-card win over the Padres.

Busch gave the Cubs an insurance run with his home run to lead off the seventh inning. It marked the first postseason home run of his career. Busch went 4-for-10 in the three-game series against the Padres.

Taillon threw four shutout innings, allowing two hits and striking out four in Thursday's wild-card game against the Padres. He did not issue a walk.

Taillon pitched well and needed only 60 pitches to complete his four innings of work. However, manager Craig Counsell still opted to turn to his bullpen early in the decisive Game 3 win to advance to the NLDS. Taillon will likely be a part of Chicago's rotation in the team's upcoming series against Milwaukee, and he's now allowed one earned run or zero in four consecutive starts.

Early allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out six over 3.2 innings to take the loss in Thursday's wild-card game against the Yankees.

Early got through three innings with minimal trouble, recording multiple strikeouts in both the second and third frames. However, he got into trouble in his final inning of work, surrendering four hits and a walk to account for all of the runs against him. Early was also hurt by some shaky defense behind him, and he was ultimately outdueled by fellow rookie Cam Schlittler.

Schlittler threw eight scoreless innings while allowing five hits and striking out 12 to earn the win in Thursday's wild-card game against Boston. He did not issue a walk.

Schlittler matched up against fellow rookie Connelly Early in Thursday's decisive Game 3 and turned in a historic performance. Schlittler dominated Boston's lineup, generating 18 swinging strikes on 107 total pitches, while efficiently recording 24 outs. His next postseason outing should come in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Blue Jays.

Bellinger was spotted limping after Thursday's game against the Red Sox due to a left foot injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Bellinger received treatment for his foot injury Thursday night, but he told reporters he expects to be in the lineup for Game 1 of the ALDS. He went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the Yankees' series-clinching win over Boston.

Woo's (pectoral) bullpen session went as planned Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

There weren't many details provided about Woo's throwing session, but it was deemed a success by the team. More details about his availability should come Friday, as the Mariners want to see how Woo is feeling following a day of recovery before announcing their pitching plans for the ALDS.
