ST. LOUIS — Kevin Gausman’s anticipated first start of the second half will be pushed back, with the Giants’ right hander placed on emergency family leave Friday so he can be with his wife, Taylor, who was hospitalized near their home in Louisiana with pregnancy complications.

“Taylor’s well, and it’s possible she’ll be out of the hospital in the next couple of days,” manager Gabe Kapler said at Busch Stadium. “Kevin is taking care of his family, which is the right thing and we’re just taking it day-by day.”

Logan Webb, who came off the injured list to pitch the Friday before the break, was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to start the first game at Busch Stadium. Webb worked three innings against the Nationals last week and allowed just one hit.

Gausman was in his hometown of Denver for Tuesday’s All-Star Game, though he was not eligible to pitch because he started for the Giants on Sunday. He has a 1.73 ERA, second best in the league behind Jacob deGrom’s 1.08 mark, and his 1.08 WHIP is also second-best in the league. He and Taylor have a daughter, Sadie, who is nearly 2 years old.
