Bido is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The right-hander threw 40 pitches over two scoreless innings out of the bullpen Saturday against Detroit, but he'll move back into the rotation on two days' rest for the series opener in Houston on Tuesday. Bido has a 2.23 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 36.1 frames in his past seven appearances.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Takes win against Rays
Rotowire
Bido (5-3) picked up the win Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on two hits and three walks across five-plus innings. He struck out six.
After tossing back-to-back shutout starts, Bido was excellent once again Thursday. He allowed two or fewer hits in for a third consecutive start and punched out six batters for the fifth time in his last six outings. After posting a sub-par 5.86 ERA with the Pirates in 2023, Bido has a 3.24 ERA and a 51:24 K:BB across 50 innings this season. The 28-year-old is tentatively scheduled to face the Reds in Cincinnati next.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Throws six scoreless in win
Rotowire
Bido (3-3) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out five across six scoreless innings.
Bido followed up his first quality start of the season Sunday with the best start of his career, silencing the Blue Jays in a 1-0 victory. He generated 11 swinging strikes on 89 pitches and did not allow a single hard-hit ball. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3.92 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB across 39 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Hit hard in Sunday's start
Rotowire
Bido (2-2) took the loss against the Angels on Sunday, allowing seven earned runs on six hits, four walks and a hit batsman over 3.2 innings. He struck out six.
Bido's swing-and-miss numbers weren't bad, but he otherwise had a rough go of it against what had been a light-hitting Angels squad. He actually cruised through his first two frames, but his unraveling began in a third inning during which the Angels sliced a 6-0 deficit in half via a Luis Rengifo RBI groundout and Willie Calhoun two-run single. Bido then issued three walks and a go-ahead grand slam to Taylor Ward in the fourth, putting the right-hander on the hook for the eventual loss. The 28-year-old saw his ERA shoot up from 3.09 to 5.00 with the rocky outing, but Bido is likely to remain in the rotation for the time being and projects to draw an unenviable matchup in the Dodgers for his next start this coming weekend.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Staying in rotation
Rotowire
Bido is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Angels in Anaheim.
Bido appeared to be in line for just a spot start when he was called upon Tuesday to take the hill against the Astros. However, after striking out six while allowing just one run over five innings en route to picking up a win, Bido will get at least one more opportunity to stake a claim to a more permanent spot in the Oakland rotation. The Athletics cleared up their logjam in the rotation by optioning Hogan Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and by shifting Joey Estes to the bullpen earlier this weekend.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Pitches five strong innings
Rotowire
Bido (2-1) got the win over the Astros on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out six over five innings.
Bido made his second start of the season and his first since May 8 when he debuted this year and made easy work of a tough Astros lineup. His lone mistake was serving up a solo home run to Victor Caratini in the third. Bido struggled with his control early on in the year, as evidenced by his 11 walks over his first 14.1 innings pitched this season. However, he's turned things around by issuing zero free passes over his last nine innings. Bido's five innings and six strikeouts also matched his season highs. The 28-year-old owns a 3.09 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB in 23.1 innings and could end up permanently slotting into the Athletics' fifth rotation spot with Luis Medina being diagnosed with a right elbow sprain. Should Bido get another start, it would come this weekend against the Angels.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Another stellar long-relief effort
Rotowire
Bido fired 4.2 scoreless relief innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday, allowing two hits and three walks while recording two strikeouts. He also uncorked a wild pitch and hit a batter.
Bido's control was an issue at times, as his final line indicates; otherwise, the young right-hander delivered his second effective innings-eating performance of the past week, this time preserving the rest of the bullpen after starter Hogan Harris was chased in the fourth inning. Bido ended up throwing nearly as many pitches (62) as Harris' 73, so the former is likely to be unavailable until the middle of the week at the earliest. However, the 28-year-old may be carving out a legitimate niche for himself in Oakland's relief corps for the time being after struggling over 2.2 innings against the Rangers in his one major-league start this season on May 8.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Athletics optioned Bido (finger) to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
Bido served as the Athletics' 27th man in last Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rangers. He started the second game of the twin bill and was dealt the loss after giving up four earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four across 2.2 innings in a 12-11 Rangers victory. Bido dealt with a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand, so it's unclear if he'll be ready to start when his next turn through Las Vegas' rotation comes up.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Removed with blister
Rotowire
Bido was removed from his start Wednesday due to a blister on his right middle finger, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Bido allowed four earned runs before he was removed from the game midway through the third inning. The severity of his injury is unclear, but the A's haven't given any indication that Bido will have to miss his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Confirmed for start Wednesday
Rotowire
Bido will be called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Bido has earned a look after collecting a 2.59 ERA and 39:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings with Las Vegas this season. With Joe Boyle (back) landing on the 15-day injured list, it's possible Bido will be asked to make additional starts for Oakland beyond Wednesday.

Osvaldo Bido: Dumped by Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Bido was non-tendered by the Pirates on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Bido posted a less-than-promising 5.86 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 48:21 K:BB over his first 50.2 big-league innings in 2023. The 28-year-old right-hander is now a free agent.

Pittsburgh optioned Bido to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Set for bulk-relief role
Rotowire
Bido is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Colin Selby in Saturday's game against the Cubs, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Selby hasn't covered more than two innings in any of his appearances in the majors or minors this season, so he's unlikely to work more than once through the Cubs' batting order before bowing out of the contest. Bido, who hasn't pitched since last Sunday, should be well rested and ready to cover multiple frames out of the bullpen once Selby exits. Over seven outings since the All-Star break spanning 20 innings, Bido has gone 1-3 with a 5.85 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Strikes out six in loss
Rotowire
Bido (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Twins. He allowed two runs on four hits and zero walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings.
Bido threw 69 pitches in bulk-relief work behind opener Ryan Borucki, and despite the two runs allowed pitched effectively with six strikeouts and no walks. Bido has previously started eight games for the Pirates, but this was his second extended relief outing. It remains to be seen whether he'll officially rejoin the rotation or continue to work extended innings in relief.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Recalled from Indianapolis
Rotowire
The Pirates recalled Bido from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
With Carmen Mlodzinski (elbow) headed for the injured list, Bido will come up from Triple-A to fill the open bullpen spot. Bido holds a 5.35 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 37 innings in the majors this season and could end up serving as a bulk reliever behind Andre Jackson, who will make his first MLB start Saturday against the Reds but isn't expected to work deep into the contest.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Yields four runs
Rotowire
Bido allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits over four innings in Monday's win over Atlanta. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
Bido was untouchable through three perfect frames but Atlanta's bats got going and plated four runs in the fourth inning. He's coughed up 10 earned runs over his last 12.2 innings, raising his season ERA from 4.44 to 5.35 in the process. The rookie hasn't thrown more than four frames in an outing since June 24. Bido is lined up to face the Reds at home this weekend.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Back in rotation Wednesday
Rotowire
Bido is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Tigers at PNC Park, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Bido made his most recent appearance out of the bullpen, serving as a primary pitcher and covering three scoreless innings behind opener Ryan Borucki in a July 22 win over the Angels. The Pirates were able to get by with a four-man rotation last week, but Bido will return to a starting role while Tuesday's series opener versus the Tigers kicks off a stretch of 16 games in as many days.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Early exit in no-decision
Rotowire
Bido did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 2.2 innings against the Giants. He struck out three.
Bido's final line could have been worse as he needed 64 pitches to record just eight outs, leaving the game after surrendering three runs in the third inning. The rookie right-hander is 1-1 this season with a 5.00 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 27 innings. Bido's next start is currently lined up for next weekend against the Angels, though his spot in the rotation could be in jeopardy with top-prospect Quinn Priester scheduled to make his debut with the Pirates on Monday.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Just misses quality start
Rotowire
Bido allowed two runs on nine hits and struck out five batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Saturday.
Bido and Bryan Hoeing engaged in a scoreless pitchers' duel through four innings until the former surrendered a two-run homer to Luis Arraez in the fifth. Bido bounced back from the long ball to retire five more batters before he was lifted with two outs and two on in the sixth. The right-hander has been solid through three major-league outings, allowing six runs and posting an 18:5 K:BB over 15.2 frames. Bido appears to have a steady spot in the rotation and could hold onto it for the foreseeable future if he continues to pitch effectively.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Decent showing MLB debut
Rotowire
Bido didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Cubs after allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out six across four innings.
After letting in a run in the first inning, Bido settled down to deliver three scoreless, one-hit frames in his MLB debut before the Pirates turned the game over to the bullpen. The 27-year-old Bido posted a pedestrian 4.55 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP through 55.1 innings in Triple-A this season, though his 56 strikeouts offer some intrigue. Brito will likely get at least one more turn through the rotation after the Pirates shifted Roansy Contreras to the bullpen. Bido tentatively lines up for a rematch with the Cubs early next week.
