Eligibility
Availability
Chris Bassitt will make his next spring training start on Thursday against the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Bassitt threw 2 2/3 innings in his last start. He'll likely pitch another two or three innings in his start on Thursday.
Chris Bassitt will start the Blue Jays split squad game at home against the Tigers on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
It is Jake Bloss starting the split squad game on the road for Toronto. Bassitt posted a 4.16 ERA across 31 starts with the Blue Jays last season.
Chris Bassitt struggled in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Red Sox, allowing two earned runs on four hits and seven walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings.
Fantasy Impact
The high walk count significantly contributed to his early exit and added to his season-long issues with control, as evidenced by his elevated WHIP and below-average strikeout-to-walk ratio. Given his performance this season, with a 4.16 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP over 31 starts, fantasy managers should be cautious. Bassitt's inability to limit base runners and his high BABIP suggest potential volatility in his outings, making him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
The Blue Jays have listed their weekend rotation with "TBA" on Sunday where Chris Bassitt was scheduled to start.
Fantasy Impact
It is unclear what the reason is. They could be giving Bassitt an extra day of rest.
Chris Bassitt delivered a strong performance in the Mets' 6-2 defeat against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed just one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings. Despite the loss, Bassitt's outing was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to control the game and rack up strikeouts. His season ERA of 4.20 and WHIP of 1.41, along with a solid 9.1 K/9 rate, indicate that he remains a reliable option in most fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that value strikeouts. However, his win-loss record now stands at 10-13, reflecting the Mets' struggles to capitalize on his starts. Fantasy managers should continue to view Bassitt as a viable starting option, especially when he demonstrates control and strikeout potential as he did in this outing.
