Chris Bassitt returns to Orioles from injured list ahead of game

Summary

The Baltimore Orioles have announced that Chris Bassitt has been reinstated from the 60-day Injured List and will start against the Tampa Bay Rays today. Bassitt last played on June 3 and will aim to help the struggling Orioles, who sit at the bottom of the AL East with a 58-63 record. The Orioles have struggled recently, allowing five or more runs in five of their last six games. Despite their recent difficulties, the Orioles are only two games back of the final Wild Card spot in the American League. Bassitt's return is seen as a significant boost to their pitching rotation as they look to mount a late-season playoff push.
