Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Likely to get start Wednesday

The Athletics plan to call up Bido from Triple-A Las Vegas to make a start during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Bido has excelled this season for Las Vegas in a difficult pitching environment, posting a 2.59 ERA and 39:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings. The 28-year-old didn't have as much luck during his time in the big leagues with the Pirates last season with a 5.86 ERA in 50.2 frames, and his minor-league track record prior to 2024 isn't nearly as impressive. That said, Bido could have some staying power in the Oakland rotation beyond Wednesday, as the Athletics will be in need of a new No. 5 starter with Joe Boyle (back) landing on the 15-day injured list Monday.
