Bassitt (elbow) will get a second opinion Thursday, but he could be headed for Tommy John surgery, the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser reports.

Analysis:

The results of his first examination did not rule out Tommy John surgery, and it is starting to look like that is where this situation is heading, as Bassitt had a mid-game velocity dip in his last start, which can often be a precursor for surgery. Jesse Hahn and Sean Manaea figure to stick in the rotation going forward.
