29 Jul
Summary
- Chris Bassitt pitched 3 1/3 innings, allowing one run.
- He struck out three batters during his rehab start.

Chris Bassitt made his initial rehab start for the Triple-A Norfolk Tides on Tuesday night, approximately six weeks after undergoing a procedure for a bone spur in his back. Bassitt pitched 3 1/3 innings, allowing one run and three strikeouts. His fastball velocity was consistently between 91-92 mph.
Bassitt's lone run allowed came on a home run on his first pitch, but he quickly settled, retiring 10 of the next 11 batters faced. He logged 46 pitches, 28 of which were strikes during his outing at Harbor Park.
This outing marks Bassitt's first Minor League game since 2019. It remains to be seen if he will require additional rehab starts to build arm strength before rejoining the Orioles' rotation. The team's pitching staff is currently performing well, creating a potential bottleneck for his return.
