Chris Bassitt, who was scheduled to start for the Mets tonight against the Rangers, has landed on the COVID IL. Anthony DiComo first specified that this was a “non-injury issue”. David Peterson will make the start in Bassitt’s place, and R.J. Alvarez will take his spot on the roster.
Bassitt has been pitching well as of late, posting a 2.53 ERA over his last three outings, including eight shutout innings against the Brewers on June 14 and seven innings of three-run ball against Marlins his last time out.
