Bassit will take the mound Sunday against the Royals after being bumped back a day in the rotation, John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group reports.
Bassit flipped spots in the rotation with Sonny Gray, and will pitch Sunday as a result. The Athletics simply want to keep Gray on his regular rest as opposed to him having an extra day off due to Oakland having an off day earlier in the week. Bassit's performance to begin the season played no factor in the decision.
