Bassitt was sent to the minors Sunday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Bassitt started the spring with an outside shot at a spot in the rotation, but his 8.78 ERA over 13.1 innings put him out of the competition pretty quickly. He will likely be in the Triple-A Nashville rotation to start the season, with a chance to join the A's should a couple of injuries occur.
