Mike Wilner: Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman has bounced back from a five-walk outing with one strikeout after another "We'll take him against anybody in the league," Jays starter Chris Bassitt says.
Can't find plate in no-decision Bassitt didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 win over the Rangers, giving up three runs on four hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Impact The veteran righty got only 57 of his 100 pitches over the plate as he tied his season high in free passes and walked multiple batters for the third straight start. Bassitt's control and command have slipped since the All-Star break, and he's stumbled to a 5.68 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB in 25.1 innings over his last five outings while serving up eight homers, including a Kyle Higashioka blast in the second inning Friday. He'll look to tighten things up in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Pittsburgh.

Handed sixth loss Bassitt (11-6) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out two.
Impact The right-hander made it through three scoreless frames before giving up a two-run homer to Max Muncy in the fourth inning and a towering solo shot to Shohei Ohtani in the fifth inning, which put him on track for the loss Saturday. Bassitt has had an inconsistent season, recording a 4.17 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, but he's remained dependable in taking the ball every fifth day and providing length, with 25 appearances and 133.2 innings pitched.

Delivers quality start Bassitt did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss to Kansas City. He allowed a run on one hit and three walks over six innings while striking out five.
Impact The lone run against Bassitt was a fourth-inning sacrifice fly by Mike Yastrzemski in the fourth inning. It was a welcome bounce-back after Bassitt coughed up six runs in just 2.1 innings in his last appearance. He threw 91 pitches (54 strikes) Sunday and walked multiple batters for the first time since July 3; Bassitt had walked only two batters over his previous 23 frames. The veteran righty is now sporting a 4.12 ERA with a 126:33 K:BB through 129 frames. Bassitt is lined up for a road matchup with the Dodgers next weekend.

Fans eight in victory Bassitt (11-4) earned the win over the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over 7.1 innings.
Impact Bassitt gave up three homers in the outing, but New York didn't manage any other hits against him. It was the first time the veteran righty has given up multiple homers since May 30, though the long balls didn't prevent Bassitt from notching his 11th win of the campaign, tied for second-most among MLB hurlers. Bassitt has recorded a quality start in each of his past three starts, and he's allowed just four earned runs over 19.2 innings during that span.
