The Athletics optioned Basso to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
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.
