Osvaldo Bido DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Athletics starting pitcher Osvaldo Bido has officially won a spot in the rotation, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. He's struggled this spring but is coming off a surprisingly promising 2024. He posted a 3.41 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 63 strikeouts in 63.1 innings for the Pirates. His underlying metrics looked even better, with a .272 xERA (94th percentile), .181 xBA (98th percentile), and a 27.0% hard-hit rate (100th percentile). He's one to watch in deeper leagues and could be worth a late-round flier at the end of drafts.

Oakland Athletics right-hander Osvaldo Bido (wrist) had been pitching through a wrist issue for his last few outings, but manager Mark Kotsay said it reached the point that Bido had trouble gripping the baseball following his most recent outing on Sept. 7. The A's are hopeful that Bido could return before the end of the regular season since his injured-list placement was retroactive to Sept. 8. However, as of Monday, Bido still had not begun playing catch. The 28-year-old is dealing with right-wrist flexor tendinitis, and at this point, it's unlikely that he'll be able to return to Oakland's starting rotation in what has been a solid year for him. The Dominican hurler has gone 5-3 with a 3.41 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 63 strikeouts and 26 walks in 63 1/3 frames over 16 outings (nine starts) in his first year in Oakland and just his second in the big leagues.

The Oakland Athletics placed right-hander Osvaldo Bido (wrist) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 8) on Tuesday with right-wrist flexor tendinitis and recalled left-hander Brady Basso and first baseman/outfielder Ryan Noda from Triple-A Las Vegas in corresponding moves. Infielder Tristan Gray was also optioned to Vegas. With Bido going to the shelf, left-hander JP Sears took his turn in the starting rotation to face the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday. With just several weeks left in the season, it remains to be seen if the 28-year-old Bido will be able to make any more starts for the A's in 2024. He's been a nice find for fantasy managers in deeper leagues and has pitched well in his first year in Oakland, going 5-3 with a 3.41 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 63 strikeouts and 26 walks in his 16 outings (nine starts) covering 63 1/3 innings.
