Chris Bassitt - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Shelved with back discomfort The Orioles placed Bassitt on the 15-day injured list Monday due to low back discomfort.

Impact Bassitt was lifted early from his last start Wednesday in Boston due to a tight back, but after briefly returning to Baltimore to get examined, he rejoined the Orioles over the weekend for their road trip in Toronto. Though the righty appeared to be trending toward taking the hill for his next turn in the rotation Monday versus the Mariners, the Orioles instead have opted to place him on the IL to give him more time to move past the back issue. Trey Gibson was called up from Triple-A Norfolk and will draw the start Monday in place of Bassitt, who will be eligible to return from the IL beginning June 20.

Posts quality start in no-decision Bassitt didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Blue Jays after tossing six innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out two.

Impact Bassitt gave up a solo homer to Andres Gimenez in the third inning, but that would be the only damage he'd allow throughout the game. Bassitt has been extremely inconsistent of late. Over his last six outings, he has three appearances with at least three earned runs allowed in five innings or fewer, and three in which he gave up just one run while pitching at least six frames. With a 4.62 ERA in five starts in May, Bassitt is slated to make his next start against the Red Sox at Fenway Park next week.

Impact Bassitt followed lefty opener Keegan Akin for the second time in his last three outings Friday and allowed at least three runs for the third time in four appearances this month. The 37-year-old is averaging a career-low 91.3 mph with his fastball this season, while his strikeout rate has plummeted to 15.3 percent from 22.6 percent in 2025. He'd been at 22.2 percent or better in each of the previous five campaigns. On the year, Bassitt owns a 5.51 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 34:19 K:BB across 47.1 innings.

Hurt by hard contact in third loss Bassitt (3-3) took the loss Saturday against the Nationals, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

Impact Washington hit Bassitt hard Saturday, tagging the hurler for four extra-base hits on the day. The veteran right-hander has been highly erratic during his first season with the Orioles, giving up one earned run or zero in four starts while surrendering at least four runs in his other five outings. Bassitt will be tough to trust in fantasy lineups when he takes an uninspiring 5.44 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 30:19 K:BB over 43 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus Detroit.
