Anthony Bass Stats

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bass took his eighth loss of the season in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He pitched one inning, allowing two solo home runs, lifting his ERA to 4.23. That's actually better than his FIP, which sits at 5.12 after this outing. Bass has been overall bad this season, but at least part of the blame has to be put on manager Don Mattingly. Bass has done nothing to show that he can handle high-leverage work this season, yet he continues to pitch in high-leverage situations. With Mattingly's penchant for mind-numbing bullpen decisions and Bass signed through 2023, there's a non-zero chance Bass will enter next season as the Marlins closer.

Miami Marlins reliever Anthony Bass (neck) has been dealing with a stiff neck, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Bass hasn't pitched since July 27, and it is unclear how long he'll be sidelined. This doesn't have much fantasy significance as Bass has no saves but has pitched to a 3.69 ERA with 12 holds in 39 IP. Bass should only be an option in very deep leagues in which holds are counted.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Zach Thompson(illness) won't make his scheduled outing Friday against Atlanta because of illness, according to MLB.com. Thompson "fell under the weather like his teammates" with something is going around, according to reporter Christina De Nicola. Right-hander Anthony Bass will serve as the opener for what will be a bullpen game. Shawn Morimando, whose contract was selected, could be "the bulk guy," as Bass has been used mostly out of the bullpen this year. Thompson, a 27-year-old righty, should be monitored in fantasy, as he's off to a solid start this year, posting a 2-2 record and 2.25 ERA with 31 strikeouts over 24 innings. Bass is off the fantasy radar as far as streaming goes.
