Fantasy Impact

Despite not getting through the fifth inning, the veteran turned in his best start of the season. After the outing, he now has a 9.00 ERA and 2.36 WHIP with a 0-2 record across three starts. Bassitt is currently slated to take on the Guardians in his next start.

Chris Bassitt allowed six earned runs on six hits and two walks over two innings in the Orioles’ 8-2 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Bassitt also hit two batters and lacked control on any of his pitches in another disappointing outing. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status to see if any injury comes from being drilled by a line drive in the second inning. He is expected to take on the Giants in his next outing.

Bassitt allowed four earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings in Monday's loss to the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Bassitt got tagged for four runs in the first two innings and had his pitch count extremely elevated heading into the third inning. He was able to settle down and provide the Orioles with a few more innings and kept the Rangers off the score board after the second inning. The veteran will look to bounce back in his next start on the road against the Pirates.

Chris Bassitt will start the fourth game of the season for the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Bassitt will open the second series of the season for Baltimore against the Rangers. He will follow Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish and Shane Baz with Zach Eflin rounding out the rotation.

Chris Bassitt and the Baltimore Orioles have agreed on a one-year, $18.5 million contract for the 2026 season. Bassitt's deal includes a $3 million signing bonus as well as $500K in incentives if he makes 27 starts.

Fantasy Impact

Bassitt has pitched 11 seasons at the major league level and has put together a solid, under-the-radar career. The righthander went 11-9 with a 3.96 ERA in 31 starts with the Blue Jays last season and has a career ERA of 3.64 with 1,191 strikeouts in 1,278.2 innings. Bassitt, who has pitched with the White Sox, Athletics, Mets, and Blue Jays, joins a Baltimore rotation that has been completely overhauled this offseason. He's good for 30-plus starts with 12-15 wins and a sub-4.00 ERA. You could do worse in the later rounds of upcoming fantasy drafts.
