Chicago Cubs' Kevin Gausman exits game with cramp against White Sox

Kevin Gausman left the Chicago Cubs' game against the Chicago White Sox on August 18 after experiencing a left hand cramp. He had thrown 86 pitches before departing in what was his third start with the Cubs. Gausman, a two-time All-Star, had allowed three earned runs and struck out five batters prior to exiting. The Cubs indicated the cramp is not in his pitching hand, suggesting he may avoid a stint on the injured list. Manager Craig Counsell is expected to provide additional updates following the game.
