The Blue Jays announced they designated Anthony Bass for assignment on Friday to make room to reinstate pitcher Mitch White from the 60-day injured list.
Bass has been under the spotlight since he shared an anti-LGBTQ video on his Instagram story last month. The relief pitcher apologized for his actions the next day, saying he was trying to “educate himself” moving forward.
“I recognize yesterday that I made a post that was hurtful to the Pride community, which includes friends of mine and close family members of mine, and I am truly sorry for that,” Bass said. “I just spoke with my teammates and shared with them my actions yesterday, and apologized with them.”
