Osvaldo Bido Being Skipped In Favor Of Brady Basso
Oakland Athletics right-hander Osvaldo Bido will have his turn in the starting rotation skipped this weekend against the Detroit Tigers, with rookie left-hander Brady Basso taking the ball on Saturday instead, according to manager Mark Kotsay. The A's are opting to give the ball to Basso instead after Bido allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings in his last start on Monday against the division-rival Seattle Mariners, but the 28-year-old could also be dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old Basso was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday and will be making his first major-league start on Sunday against Detroit. In three relief appearances for the A's this year, the southpaw has allowed two earned runs on three hits while walking none and striking out three in 3 1/3 innings of work. We wouldn't recommend using Basso as a streamer in fantasy, even against Detroit.
