Anthony Bass Stats

The Toronto Blue Jays are acquiring relief pitcher Anthony Bass, right-hander Zach Pop and a smaller unnamed piece on Tuesday in exchange for infield prospect Jordan Groshans. The Blue Jays had been looking to upgrade their bullpen for a run at a postseason spot, so Bass and Pop will be inserted as late-inning setup men in Toronto in front of closer Jordan Romano. Bass has been excellent this year, posting a 1.41 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 45:10 K:BB in 44 2/3 innings, but his fantasy value won't change all that much in a setup role in Toronto. Pop has been solid but not spectacular, going 2-0 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 14 strikeouts in 20 relief innings for the Fish.

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.
