Brady Basso - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Optioned by Oakland Oakland optioned Basso to the Athletics' Arizona Complex League on Friday.

Impact The move makes room on the A's 28-man roster for the reinstatement of right-hander Ross Stripling (back) from the 15-day injured list. Basso has made four starts for the Athletics in September, and over those outings he went 1-1 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB over 19 innings.

Allows five runs in first loss Basso (1-1) took the loss against Texas on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over three innings while striking out three.

Impact Basso ran into a buzz saw in the first inning, allowing five-consecutive batters to reach to open things up while seeing three early runs come home for Texas. The lefty then got tagged for a two-run homer in the third after giving up a leadoff single to begin the frame and he would not return for the fourth. Basso had gone at least into the fifth inning in three straight starts coming in, allowing three or fewer runs on each occasion. However, Wednesday's five runs allowed marked a season high for the 26-year-old, as did the two long balls he surrendered in the contest.

Fans five in no-decision Basso came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The rookie southpaw blanked Chicago through four innings before faltering in the fifth, getting the hook after 93 pitches (60 strikes). It's the first time in three big-league starts that Busso has failed to complete five frames, and only the second time in six appearances he's been charged with any earned runs at all. He'll take a 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB through 19.1 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Rangers.

Receives another start Basso is listed as the Athletics' scheduled starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Impact Basso will make another turn through the rotation after he was summoned from Triple-A Las Vegas this past week to replace injured starter Osvaldo Bido (wrist). Through his first two MLB starts, Basso has struck out eight while allowing 10 baserunners over 11.1 scoreless innings, though his outings came against two of MLB's weaker offenses in the Tigers and White Sox. The road matchup with the Cubs will represent the 26-year-old lefty's toughest test to date.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Collects first career win Basso (1-0) earned the win Friday against the White Sox, pitching 5.1 scoreless innings while yielding five hits and one walk. He struck out two.

Impact The rookie southpaw seized the opportunity to secure his first big-league victory against the hapless White Sox with this tidy 77-pitch performance. Basso worked around five singles as the Chicago lineup couldn't manage to get a runner past second base. The 26-year-old has performed well over his first 14.2 innings, pitching to a 1.23 ERA, 2.97 FIP, 0.89 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB. If Basso sticks in the Oakland rotation, he will line up to make his next start against the Cubs on the road next week.

Recalled from Triple-A The Athletics recalled Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact Basso was just sent down Sunday but is back to take the roster spot of the injured Osvaldo Bido (wrist). He could also take Bido's spot in the rotation with a start later this week. Basso went six shutout innings against the Tigers on Saturday in his first major-league start.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down after strong start The Athletics optioned Basso to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact Basso will head to Triple-A after he turned in an impressive first MLB start in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers, taking a no-decision while recording six punchouts over six scoreless frames. Despite the strong showing, the Athletics will swap Basso off the active roster in favor of a fresh bullpen arm in Brandon Bielak, who was called up from Las Vegas on Sunday. Unless the Athletics place another player on a reserve list in a corresponding move, Basso will have to wait another 15 days before potentially rejoining the big club.

Impresses in first career start Basso did not factor into the decision in Saturday's loss against the Tigers, allowing three hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Impact Basso looked great in his first starting opportunity in the big leagues. The 26-year-old rookie was making his fourth appearance of his career, but this was the first one to go past two innings. Basso got into trouble in the third inning with runners on second and third with no outs, and he managed to get out of it unscathed. He should be expected to get another turn in the rotation given his strong outing against the Tigers.

Slated to start Saturday Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that Basso will start Saturday's game against the Tigers, Jessica Kleinschmidt of the Oakland Athletics Radio Network reports.

Impact Osvaldo Bido would have been lined up to pitch Saturday, but the Athletics look set to skip his turn through the rotation, as Basso will take the hill for the penultimate game of the series, while J.T. Ginn starts Sunday's finale. Basso previous three appearances with the Athletics came as a reliever from late May through mid-June, but he had been working out of the rotation at Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up Thursday and looks set to operate as a traditional starter Saturday. He covered at least five innings in four of his last five outings with Las Vegas, compiling a 2.84 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB in 25.1 innings during that stretch.

Recalled from Triple-A The Athletics recalled Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

Impact Basso will give the bullpen some length. The left-hander has made three appearances for Oakland this season, allowing two runs over 3.1 innings.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to minors The Athletics optioned Basso to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Basso was up in the majors for just one day and didn't make an appearance. The left-hander could still be needed in the Athletics rotation at some point given the big club's mounting injury list, but for now he'll report to Las Vegas. Basso was torched for nine earned runs over 2.1 innings in his lone start with Las Vegas this season but has put up a 2.84 ERA and 32:3 K:BB over 25.1 frames with Double-A Midland.
