Gausman's next scheduled start up in the air

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman told reporters Monday that he is still dealing with pain in his right ankle and is not a certainty to make his next scheduled start.

The 31-year-old was injured during Saturday's doubleheader, taking a line drive off his ankle and leaving the game.

Rob Longley of Postmedia tweets that Gausman is scheduled to throw a bullpen Tuesday and he will be re-evaluated from there.

Gausman told reporters that he believes his injury would have been worse had he not been wearing a certain style of cleats with thicker padding at the top, a model position players tend to wear more than pitchers. 

In his first season with the Blue Jays, Gausman is 6-6 and has a 2.86 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 16 starts. 

The Jays will begin a series in Oakland against the Athletics Monday night.
