It has been a rough week for Oakland A’s pitchers. Chris Bassitt was struck in the face with a line drive, resulting in multiple fractures and stitches in his face. He will need to undergo surgery to repair those facial fractures, and will be on the Injured List for some time.
While Andrew Chafin did not have nearly the same experience, he also had a rough time this week.
