The Baltimore Orioles have reinstated right-hander Chris Bassitt, who will make his pitch against the Tampa Bay Rays in Friday’s road game.
In a related move, left-hander Yaramil Hiraldo has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk.
Bassitt, 37, didn’t pitch since June 3 due to lower back issues. This season, he holds a 5.27 ERA across 12 appearances (10 starts).
An All-Star in 2021 with the Oakland Athletics, Bassitt leads a 87-69 record with a 3.71 ERA in 244 career starts.
Hiraldo, 30, has a 5.87 ERA over seven relief appearances this season and maintains a 4.94 ERA across 25 career games.
