The Oakland A’s provided a medical update Tuesday regarding pitcher Chris Bassitt, who was hit in the head by a line drive last week.

Full text of the update:

Chris Bassitt had successful facial surgery today in Chicago with Dr. Peter Revenaugh at the Rush Medical Center. Dr. Revenaugh was able to stabilize and plate the tripod fracture with good fixation and debride other small fractured bones from the incident. Chris is stable and resting comfortably and will have follow-up appointments upon his arrival to Oakland. The A’s anticipate Bassitt will return to the Bay Area later this week.
