Blanks Bucs for fourth win Bassitt (4-2) picked up the win in Friday's 4-0 victory over the Pirates, allowing four hits and four walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Impact The veteran right-hander's control continues to waver a bit, as Bassitt has issued at least three free passes in five of his last six starts, but at least on Friday they didn't come back to haunt him. After a disastrous Toronto debut that saw the Cardinals take him deep four times, he has a 2.45 ERA, 1.06 WHIP 33:20 K:BB over his last 36.2 innings, serving up only two homers during that stretch. Bassitt will look to keep rolling in his next outing, likely to come next weekend at home against Atlanta.

Seven strikeouts in no-decision Bassitt did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on two hits and four walks over five innings in a 10-8 loss against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

Impact After back-to-back strikeouts to start the game, Bassitt walked two and hit a batter before surrendering a grand slam to Taylor Trammell. The right-hander was able to settle down after getting through the first and was in line for the fine before being replaced after four straight scoreless frames. Sunday's performance marked just the second time Bassitt failed to get through six innings and snapped a run of four straight outings with two or fewer earned runs. Bassitt's next start is tentatively scheduled versus the Pirates, who are tied for fourth in the MLB in runs per game (5.5).

Ready to go for next start Bassitt (back) is listed as the Blue Jays' probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game versus the Mariners.

Impact The Blue Jays never seemed to have much concern that Bassitt would miss a turn through the rotation after he experienced right lower-back tightness in his most recent start Monday against the White Sox, and his inclusion on the team's weekend pitching schedule confirms that he's feeling fine following his between-starts bullpen session. Through his first five starts of 2023, Bassitt owns a 3-2 record, 4.82 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 28 innings.

Pitches well but takes loss Bassitt (1-2) took the loss against Detroit on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.

Impact Bassitt mostly tamed the Tigers' lineup, though three of the four hits against him were doubles. He nonetheless managed to limit Detroit to just two runs, but that wasn't good enough to prevent him from taking his second loss of the season. The right-hander has notched two straight quality starts, during which he has allowed only four earned runs over 12 frames. However, his season ERA still stands at 7.63 due to a season-opening nine-run blowup against St. Louis. Bassitt's two most recent outings are probably a better reflection of what fantasy managers can expect from his going forward, as he held his ERA below 4.00 in all but one of his eight campaigns coming into 2023.
