Bassitt (0-3) took the loss in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.
Bassitt lived in the strike zone (55 strikes in 78 pitches) but paid for it, revealing that the two-start beginning to his 2018 campaign was a bit of a mirage. Still, as a streaming play, Bassitt still has some cred in deeper leagues and might gain more if he can keep his early control gains going (three walks in 16.1 innings so far). He'll continue to fill the void left by Trevor Cahill (Achilles) however long he's sidelined. Bassitt next figures to start on the road against the Tigers on Wednesday.
