Chris Bassitt will join the A's on Thursday.
He will take over in long relief for Arnold Leon, who allowed a run on two hits and a walk in one inning of work Wednesday night against the Angels. That was Leon's major league debut. "Now he knows what it’s like to pitch in the big leagues, and when he’s back, he’ll have that already behind him," A's manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday. Apr 23 - 8:42 AM
