Bashlor began the 2018 campaign back with Double-A Binghamton. The Mets promoted him to the major leagues for the first time on June 25, 2018.[8] Bashlor made his Major League debut that day at Citi Field against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In two innings, he allowed only one walk and a subsequent hit, a home run by Josh Bell.[9]
On August 2, 2020, Bashlor was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations.

On April 4, 2021, Bashlor was designated for assignment to make room on the roster for Wilmer Difo.[11] Bashlor was released by the Pirates the same day.[12] He was re-signed and sent to the Pirates' alternate training site on April 10.[13]
