Orioles Call Up Gibson as Bassitt Hits IL, Deepening Rotation Woes

The Orioles placed right-hander Chris Bassitt on the 15-day injured list with low back discomfort (retroactive to June 5) and recalled Trey Gibson to start tonight. Bassitt has a 5.27 ERA across 12 appearances this season, with a notable drop in strikeouts from 2025. The injury adds to Baltimore’s rotation woes, joining other hurlers on the IL, and leaves the team to decide whether Gibson remains in the rotation or shifts to a bullpen/spot-start role while they search for depth.

Braves Eye Rotation Upgrade with Giolito or Bassitt

The Atlanta Braves are weighing a rotation upgrade this offseason, with reports they’re eyeing free-agent right-handers Lucas Giolito and Chris Bassitt. Both players are free from qualifying offers, which reduces draft-pick penalties, and Atlanta could manage the luxury-tax hit as needed. Giolito showed a strong late-season run after an injury-shortened year, while Bassitt has durability and consistency across multiple seasons. Signing either would bolster depth behind a core of healthy and injured pitchers, and could influence the wider market by altering the perceived value of mid-rotation arms.

Blue Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt revealed that the Yankees were relaying tips to Aaron Judge during a game in May, which the Yankees vehemently denied at the time.

The Blue Jays and Yankees had squabbled throughout their four-game set, with the Blue Jays manager making remarks about ensuring MLB had the first and third base coaches in the correct positions.
