Impact Bassitt came just two outs away from notching what would've been his second quality start of the season, but he might be trending in the wrong direction of late -- he has given up seven earned runs in his last 11 innings after beginning the season with just two earned runs in 16.2 frames. Either way, the 31-year-old right-hander has a strong 2.93 ERA following his first five starts of the season.

Secures second victory Bassitt (2-0) earned the win Wednesday against the Angels after giving up four runs on five hits with four strikeouts and zero walks over 5.2 innings.

Impact The right-hander was closing in on a quality start as he struck out the first two batters of the sixth inning, but a solo homer from Anthony Rendon spelled an end to his outing. Bassitt has enjoyed a strong start to 2020 with a 2.42 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB through 22.1 innings, and he lines up to pitch at Arizona early next week.

Strong in first win Bassitt (1-0) allowed one run on three hits and struck out seven in 5.2 innings, earning the win versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Bassitt gave up an RBI single to Daniel Vogelbach in the first inning, but that was the only damage on his line in a second consecutive strong performance. The right-handed Bassitt has now allowed only one run in 9.2 innings, with a 12:1 K:BB. The 31-year-old's ability to turn in quality outings may interest fantasy managers, although his next start is expected to be a tough test at home versus the Astros on Friday.

Benched Sunday Marmolejos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Marmolejos appeared to have captured a large-side platoon role to begin the season, but his 3-for-25 start to the campaign could result in him falling out of favor. The lefty-hitting Marmolejos will sit for the second time in three games Sunday, this time against a right-handed starting pitcher (Chris Bassitt).

Excellent across four frames Bassitt struck out five across four scoreless innings Monday against the Angels while allowing five hits and one walk.

Impact Bassitt did not go deep enough in this one to get the win. He threw 66 pitches (46 strikes), so the A's were clearly taking a cautious approach to his workload. With A.J. Puk (shoulder) out indefinitely, Bassitt's spot in the rotation should be ironclad if he keeps pitching well, as Jesus Luzardo would likely replace Daniel Mengden if he gets stretched out as a starter. Bassitt's next start should come Sunday in Seattle.
