Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Still idle after IL placement
Rotowire
Bido (wrist) is with the Athletics but has yet to begin playing catch since going on the IL last Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Bido had been dealing with the wrist issue for several starts before finally getting to the point where he was having difficulty gripping the ball, so his recovery could potentially carry through the end of the regular season. Manager Mark Kotsay remains hopeful the promising right-hander will be able to make it back for at least one more start, yet time is working against Bido at this point with less than two weeks remaining in the 2024 campaign.
Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Goes on IL with wrist injury
Rotowire
The Athletics placed Bido on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right wrist flexor tendinitis.
Bido had been slated to start Tuesday in Houston but instead is headed to the IL for at least the next two weeks. JP Sears will now be the starting pitcher for the Athletics on Tuesday. Bido has been a bright spot in Oakland's rotation this season, collecting a 3.41 ERA and 63:26 K:BB over 63.1 innings covering nine starts and seven relief appearances.
Bido is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The right-hander threw 40 pitches over two scoreless innings out of the bullpen Saturday against Detroit, but he'll move back into the rotation on two days' rest for the series opener in Houston on Tuesday. Bido has a 2.23 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 36.1 frames in his past seven appearances.
Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Will re-enter rotation this week
Rotowire
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that Bido will be reinserted into the rotation during the upcoming week after working out of the bullpen in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers, Jessica Kleinschmidt of the Oakland Athletics Radio Network reports.
Kotsay noted that the Athletics initially planned to rest Bido through the weekend, but after a 13-inning game Friday, the right-hander was made available out of the bullpen Saturday. Bido struck out three over two scoreless innings behind starter Brady Basso, who was subsequently optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday. Kotsay didn't specify when Bido's next start will be, but since he's less rested than JP Sears, Joey Estes and Mitch Spence, Bido presumably won't be used during the upcoming three-game series with the Astros and could instead take the hill for Thursday's series opener versus the White Sox.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Missing out on start this weekend
Rotowire
Bido isn't in line to make a turn through the rotation during this weekend's series versus the Tigers, as Brady Basso and J.T. Ginn have been confirmed to start Saturday and Sunday, respectively, Jessica Kleinschmidt of the Oakland Athletics Radio Network reports.
Bido looked on track for a two-start week after he gave up four runs over 5.1 innings in his outing against the Mariners on Monday, but he'll instead have his next start pushed bak until at least next week following the Athletics' call-up of Basso, who was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. Manager Mark Kotsay didn't shed much light on why Bido was bypassed for a start Saturday or Sunday, but given how well the right-hander has performed of late, his absence from the rotation this weekend could point to him dealing with a yet-to-be-disclosed injury. Dating back to the beginning of August, Bido had gone 3-1 with a 2.36 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB in 34.1 innings.
Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Allows four runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Bido did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 win against the Mariners, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Bido entered the sixth inning with a 4-2 lead but yielded two runs on three hits before being lifted at 91 pitches. The 28-year-old ended a run of five consecutive starts allowing two earned runs or fewer and surrendered a home run for the first time since July 28. On the season, he owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB across 61.1 innings and lines up to face the Tigers this weekend.
Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
Bido came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Reds, allowing two runs on three hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
It was another sharp performance from Bido, who delivered his fourth quality start in five August outings on 84 pitches (54 strikes). The right-hander left the mound in line for his sixth win, but the Oakland bullpen melted down in the seventh inning, only for the offense to rally in the eighth. Bido has a 1.55 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB through 29 innings on the month, and he'll look to stay hot in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Mariners.

Rotowire
Bido (5-3) picked up the win Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on two hits and three walks across five-plus innings. He struck out six.
After tossing back-to-back shutout starts, Bido was excellent once again Thursday. He allowed two or fewer hits in for a third consecutive start and punched out six batters for the fifth time in his last six outings. After posting a sub-par 5.86 ERA with the Pirates in 2023, Bido has a 3.24 ERA and a 51:24 K:BB across 50 innings this season. The 28-year-old is tentatively scheduled to face the Reds in Cincinnati next.
Bido (4-3) allowed a hit and two walks while striking out six over six shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over the Giants.
Bido has turned in consecutive starts of six scoreless innings. The right-hander has posted a quality start in all three of his outings in August, allowing just three runs (two earned) over 18 innings while adding a 17:6 K:BB. For the season, Bido has a 3.40 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 45:21 K:BB through 45 innings over 12 appearances (six starts). He's emerged as a reliable starter for Oakland, and he's projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.
