Orioles Lose Bassitt to 15-Day IL, Recall Trey Gibson

Overview

  • The Orioles announced Monday that they placed right-hander Chris Bassitt on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Friday because of low back discomfort.
  • Baltimore recalled rookie Trey Gibson from Triple-A Norfolk to take Bassitt’s spot in the rotation and start against the Seattle Mariners.
  • Bassitt is 4-4 with a 5.27 ERA this season after signing a one-year, $18.5 million contract in February and had lower back tightness after his last start in Boston.
  • The club also confirmed Monday that the Chicago Cubs claimed right-hander Eduarniel Núñez after the Orioles designated him for assignment following their May 15 acquisition of his contract.
  • The loss of Bassitt reduces Baltimore’s veteran rotation depth for at least two weeks and puts short-term pressure on younger pitchers while the team evaluates his recovery and roster options.
