[Hawksquawk]

Acquired from the Orioles minutes before Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, Kevin Gausman (5-8, 4.43 ERA) will make his first start in a Braves uniform when this series continues Saturday night. Atlanta hopes the righty, who has spent his entire career in the AL East, provides depth to a rotation that figures to be heavily worked in the weeks to come.
