"The Blue Jays are placing veteran right-hander Chris Bassitt on the 15-day injured list due to low back inflammation, per a team announcement. The move is retroactive to September 19. Left-hander Mason Fluharty was recalled to the roster to take Bassitt's place. The right-hander will be eligible to be activated from the shelf on October 3, meaning that a minimum stint would allow him to pitch Game 1 of the ALDS."
"After posting an ERA+ of 130 from 2018-2021, that figure has dropped to a less impressive 110 since his age-33 season back in 2022. He's made up for that dip in production by offering impressive durability, however. In each of the past four seasons, Bassitt has made at least 30 starts and thrown at least 170 innings. His 723 innings of work over the past four years trails only , Framber Valdez, and teammate Kevin Gausman in all of baseball."
The Blue Jays placed veteran right-hander Chris Bassitt on the 15-day injured list retroactive to September 19 for low back inflammation and recalled left-hander Mason Fluharty to take his roster spot. Bassitt will be eligible for activation on October 3, which could allow him to start Game 1 of the ALDS, though he would be unavailable for a Wild Card series if Toronto fails to secure a top-two American League seed. Bassitt, 36, has a 3.60 ERA (116 ERA+) and 3.94 FIP across 1,087 1/3 innings since 2019, and has totaled 723 innings over the past four seasons thanks to consistent durability.
