Bassitt has soreness in rehabbing elbow

OAKLAND -- Rehabbing right-hander Chris Bassitt said he is experiencing soreness between starts as he recovers from Tommy John surgery he underwent in May 2016. Bassitt made a start for Triple-A Nashville on Saturday in Sacramento, and has rejoined the A's briefly in Oakland as he gets some extra rest.

"Just kind of at a bump in the road where I'm not recovering between starts as well," Bassitt said. "But everything is going well. Just normal rehab stuff where it's taking time. We're kind of at a point where there's no reason to push anything. Now we can go into the next start feeling at 100 percent instead of 80 percent, kind of thing.
