3 years agoOakland Athletics right-hander James Kaprielian looks to be the odd man out of the rotation after Chris Bassitt (head) returns from the injured list on Thursday, according to manager Bob Melvin. It's not set in stone yet, and it depends on how Bassitt looks once he's back on the mound. Kaprielian is having a solid first full season in the majors, posting an 8-5 record and 3.80 ERA over 21 starts and 111.1 innings. The peripherals don't look as nice, though, as he's struck out 24.2% of the batters he's faced along with an 8.6 BB% and 17 HRs allowed. Still, he's been a good starter in many leagues, and this isn't the news that fantasy managers wanted to hear.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
