Athletics left-hander Brady Basso (shoulder) has been shut down in camp due to a left-shoulder strain, and there's no timetable for his return at this time. Basso was most likely ticketed to start the 2025 season at Triple-A Las Vegas this year anyway, but now it looks like he'll be opening the year on the minor-league injured list due to his shoulder ailment. The 27-year-old southpaw had tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings in Cactus League play before getting hurt. The former 16th-round pick in 2019 out of Oklahoma State University had Tommy John surgery in 2021 but was able to make his big-league debut in 2024, going 1-1 with a 4.03 ERA (3.88 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 19 strikeouts and five walks in 22 1/3 innings over seven outings (four starts) last year. Basso isn't a big strikeout guy, so for now, we'd only recommend stashing him in deeper dynasty leagues.
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.
