"Bassitt bounced back strongly against the San Francisco Giants, allowing seven hits through 4 2/3 innings but limiting the damage to just one earned run and one walk, dropping his ERA to 9.00 on the season. The right-hander would follow that outing with five scoreless innings against the Guardians, but grinded through the start thanks to four walks."
Bassitt, a veteran right-hander previously central to Toronto’s rotation, signed a one-year $18.5 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles for the 2026 season. Baltimore strengthened its roster by adding Bassitt, Pete Alonso, and Ryan Helsley, while also trading for Shane Baz and Taylor Ward. Through 43 innings, Bassitt has produced mixed results. He began with two rough starts versus the Texas Rangers and Pittsburgh Pirates, allowing 10 earned runs in 6 1/3 innings, with poor command, six free passes, and three hit batters. He rebounded against the San Francisco Giants by limiting damage to one earned run and one walk, then followed with scoreless innings versus the Guardians despite four walks. Subsequent outings alternated between strong and poor performances, including a successful opener strategy against the Athletics.
