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