Roster Move: Toronto Blue Jays place veteran pitcher on IL

Just ahead of the Blue Jays game against the Royals, the team announced that Bassitt has been placed on 15 day IL with lower back inflammation.
The team has decided to call up Mason Fluharty as his replacing but he will likely not see any time in the starting rotation and they will use him as depth in the bullpen.
ROSTER MOVES:
LHP Mason Fluharty recalled from Triple-A and will be active tonight
RHP Chris Bassitt (low back inflammation) placed on 15-day IL

This is quite the surprising injury to be announced as fans knew that Max Scherzer was dealing with a lower back injury but that has been nothing regarding Bassitt announced.
It will also be interesting to see if they decide to keep Berrios in the bullpen now or if they bring him back to the starting rotation.
