The Baltimore Orioles assigned right-hander Chris Bassitt to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday as he continues working his way back from an undisclosed injury. The rehab stint with the Tides will allow Bassitt to face live competition and demonstrate he is ready to return to the major league club.
No timeline for his return to the Orioles' active roster has been confirmed. Bassitt's availability would provide a boost to a Baltimore rotation that has been managing without one of its veteran arms since he was sidelined.
