O’s transfer Chris Bassitt (back) to 60-day IL

Bassitt has been on the IL with back soreness since June 8. Orioles GM Mike Elias said Bassitt will be reevaluated in a “couple of weeks” to see if he can resume throwing. One imagines he’ll be sidelined into August.

Bassitt hit the injured list with lower back discomfort last week. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to require a lengthy absence, but he won’t be an option for the Orioles again until later this month.

Gibson was tagged for four runs in a calamitous opening frame, which included two-run homers by Jackson Merrill and Samad Taylor. The 24-year-old pitching prospect managed to get out of the frame without any further damage and saved Baltimore’s bullpen by working into the fifth. He was all over the place from a command standpoint, managing to punch out a season-high seven, while also handing out five walks. It’s unclear whether he’ll get another turn in the rotation, but that’ll depend on whether Chris Bassitt (back) is ready to take the ball next week.

Bassitt left his start on Wednesday after just 56 pitches, and there was some skepticism that he’d be able to make his next start. The Orioles seem to have given him every chance to be ready to start tonight, but it won’t happen. The 37-year-old will miss at least one more turn through the rotation and possibly more

Bassitt underwent imaging on his ailing back and it sounds like there’s a chance he doesn’t make his next start against the Mariners on Monday. He made an early exit from his previous start against the Red Sox with lower back tightness. There should be a final decision on his status at some point later this weekend.

Bassitt was lifted after throwing just 56 pitches (35 strikes) over three innings. He was charged with three runs. The 37-year-old veteran is tentatively scheduled to face the Mariners on Monday in his next outing. There should be a decision on his status at some point later this week.

Bassitt allowed three runs on six hits, including a homer by Wilyer Abreu, over three innings of work. He didn’t look comfortable during his final frame before being replaced by Albert Suárez after throwing just 56 pitches (35 strikes). There should be an update on his status following the contest.

The veteran right-hander struck out two batters on the night while permitting only one base on balls. The lone tally against him came on a solo shot off the bat of Andrés Giménez in the third inning. Bassitt got just seven swings and misses on 80 pitches on the night, posting an uninspiring CSW of 23 percent. He’ll look to further improve upon his 5.06 ERA and 1.58 WHIP when he squares off against the Red Sox in Boston on Wednesday.

Bassitt struck out four batters in the ballgame and didn’t allow a base on balls. He worked behind an opener again in this one, as Keegan Akin gave up one run in the first inning and Bassitt started in the second. The Tigers scratched out one run against him in the third and two more in the fourth, but he settled in afterwards and kept them off the board the rest of the way, giving the O’s offense time to come back for him. The 37-year-old hurler got five whiffs on 58 pitches in the ballgame, posting a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll bring a bloated 5.51 ERA and 1.67 WHIP into Wednesday’s matchup against the Rays.

Bassitt was given an opener two starts ago, and he wound up throwing six innings of one-run ball against the Athletics. He carries a 5.44 ERA into Friday’s matchup versus Jack Flaherty and the Tigers.
