Availability
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.

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.
