Kevin Gausman tentatively is scheduled to start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on Sunday.
The Braves who enter Friday's game down 1-0 in the series, will turn to Gausman, pending his availability, manager Brian Snitker said.
Gausman is available out of the bullpen for Game 2, which was started by Anibal Sanchez. As long as the Braves didn't require his services Friday, he'll start the game at SunTrust Park.
The Braves acquired Gausman from Baltimore at the trade deadline. He has been among the team's more solid starters, eating innings and keeping his team in most contests.
If there's a Game 4 on Monday, the Braves will consider bringing back Mike Foltynewicz on short rest, Snitker said. They could also turn to Julio Teheran or Touki Toussaint.
