Chris Bassitt Left Off Blue Jays ALDS Roster
Chris Bassitt (back) has been left off the team's roster for its American League Division Series matchup against the New York Yankees. Bassitt is battling a back injury and last pitched in mid-September. The 36-year-old went 11-9 with a 3.96 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 166 strikeouts in 170 1/3 innings (31 starts) this season. Bassitt might have been a candidate to make a start in the series had he been healthy. Instead, it appears Toronto may be relying on a combination of rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage and veteran left-hander Eric Lauer at the back end of its rotation behind Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber.
