Struggles again Tuesday Basso allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two over two-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Tuesday.

Impact For the second start in a row, Basso couldn't escape the third inning. He's given up nine runs over his last 4.2 frames, though the Athletics' late comeback spared him from another loss. Basso has a 5.36 ERA 1.60 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB through 42 innings over 25 games (seven starts) in the majors this season. Basso is tentatively lined up for one more start this year, which would be at home versus the Astros, a matchup fantasy managers will definitely want to avoid.

Chased out of second inning in loss Basso (1-3) took the loss against the Rays on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits over 2.2 innings. He did not issue a walk nor strike out a batter.

Impact Basso entered Wednesday's game having tossed seven consecutive scoreless innings spanning his last two starts, but he didn't have that level of success against Tampa Bay. He gave up two runs in each of the first two innings, with three of those runs coming on three separate RBI doubles, and he was pulled in the third frame after running his pitch count up to 52 (38 strikes). The 28-year-old southpaw has a 4.50 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 40 innings this season, and he's tentatively slated to face the Angels at home next week.

Blanks Jays in no-decision Basso didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Blue Jays, allowing three hits and two walks over four scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Impact In his longest outing of the season, Basso fired 41 of 68 pitches for strikes as he got the combined shutout going. The southpaw appears to be getting stretched out to fill the fifth starter role for the A's, and over three September appearances he's dialed up a 1.93 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB in 9.1 innings. Basso will look to last long enough to qualify for a win in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come on the road next week in Tampa Bay.

Drawing start Wednesday Basso is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Basso has operated as more of an opening pitcher in his prior four starts this season, but the Athletics could have him stretch out a bit more Wednesday. In his most recent relief appearance in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Mariners, Basso tossed 38 pitches over three shutout innings. Joey Estes is the freshest arm in the Athletics bullpen and should be available to cover multiple frames once Basso exits the contest.

Picks up first win Basso (1-2) earned the win in Friday's 7-6 victory over Seattle. He allowed three hits and a walk with no strikeouts over three scoreless innings of relief.

Impact After starter Kade Morris struggled across 2.2 innings, Basso stepped up and twirled three scoreless frames to pick up his first win of the campaign. The southpaw has shuttled between Triple-A Las Vegas and the big leagues throughout 2026, posting a 4.32 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB across 33.1 innings with the Athletics.

Tagged with loss as opener Basso (0-2) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Rangers after allowing two runs on four hits over 2.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Basso was deployed as the Athletics' opener Tuesday, and even though he departed the game in the third inning after 40 pitches (26 strikes), his early struggles were enough to tag him with the loss. Basso owns a 4.75 ERA and 1.42 WHIP after this outing. Given that his role is mainly pitching as an opener or in low-leverage relief situations, his fantasy upside is fairly low.

AUGUST 29 • Associated Press

Slated to open Sunday's game Basso is listed as the Athletics' starting pitcher for Sunday's game in Houston, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Basso will make his third appearance of the season and his second in a row as a starter, but just like on the other two occasions, he's expected to be deployed as more of an opener. He covered 2.1 innings and tossed 32 pitches in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Royals, and Basso should be in line for a similar workload Sunday. Jack Perkins is likely to work in bulk relief once Basso exits the contest.

Serving as Saturday's opener Basso is listed as the Athletics' starting pitcher against the Twins on Saturday.

Impact Per Jason Burke of Roundtable.io, Mason Barnett was originally scheduled to start for the Athletics on Saturday. Instead, the club will turn to the southpaw Basso, who has started in two games for Triple-A Las Vegas this season. He has a 6.48 ERA and 1.92 WHIP across 8.1 innings in the majors this season.

JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Back with big club The Athletics recalled Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Impact Basso has given up six earned runs in just 4.1 innings with the A's this season, but he's surrendered four runs in nine frames at Las Vegas since making his last MLB appearance June 14. He'll presumably be limited to low-leverage situations while with the big club.

Rejoins MLB club The Athletics recalled Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact Basso was up with the A's for a couple weeks earlier this season and will now get another look in the big leagues. The 28-year-old made three appearances during that stint and gave up two earned runs on five hits with one strikeout and one walk over 2.2 innings.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Basso has made three appearances since being promoted from Triple-A on April 20 and has allowed two earned runs on five hits and a walk over 2.2 innings. He'll aim to get back on track in the minors; meanwhile, the A's will call up Luis Morales to replace Basso and give their bullpen a fresh arm.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Basso will provide a fresh relief arm after the Athletics' bullpen was overworked in recent days. The left-hander has permitted seven runs with an 8:3 K:BB over 6.2 innings with Las Vegas in the early going this season.
