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