Bido was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
Bido has appeared in three games with the A's this spring, allowing three earned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out three batters over three innings. The right-hander signed with Oakland in November after spending the 2023 campaign with the Pirates, posting a 5.86 ERA over 50.2 frames. He'll now look to carve out a role with the Athletics somewhere down the road.
Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Strikes deal with Oakland
Rotowire
Bido agreed to a major-league deal with the Athletics on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
After being non-tendered by Pittsburgh on Friday, Bido quickly recaptured a 40-man roster spot with another organization in rebuilding mode. The 28-year-old right-hander reached the majors for the first time in 2023, going 2-5 with a 5.86 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 48:21 K:BB over 50.2 innings spanning 16 appearances (nine starts) with the Pirates. Bido has two minor-league options remaining, so if he falls short in his bid for an Opening Day roster spot with the Athletics, he'll provide rotation depth at the Triple-A level.

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.
Bido is set to start Friday's game against the Marlins at PNC Park, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Bido will be making his ninth start of the season for Pittsburgh, but he may not be asked to work as deep into Friday's outing as he has for most of those other eight starts. Before being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis last Sunday, Bido hadn't recorded more than four outs in any of his seven appearances for the affiliate in September. The Pirates don't have an obvious candidate to work in bulk relief behind Bido and may treat Friday's contest as more of a bullpen day.

Rotowire
Bido was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
The right-hander has a 6.36 ERA across 46.2 big-league innings this season, and he'll rejoin the big club with Bailey Falter (neck) headed to the injured list. Bido has started in eight of his 14 MLB outings this year, though it's unclear if he'll step into the rotation for Falter.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Awful in bulk role
Rotowire
Bido (2-5) allowed eight runs on five hits and five walks while striking out one over 2.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Cubs.
Bido had his worst outing of the year Saturday, allowing the Cubs to generate rallies in the third and fifth innings. The five walks and eight runs were both season highs, though he was able to keep the ball in the yard. The right-hander is now at a 6.36 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 44:20 K:BB through 46.2 innings over 14 appearances (eight starts) this season. Bido is tentatively lined up for a more favorable road outing in St. Louis his next time out, though it's unclear how long the Pirates will tolerate his poor performance.

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: Slated for bulk-relief role
Rotowire
Bido is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind opener Ryan Borucki in Sunday's game against the Twins, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Borucki is pitching in front of Bido for the second time this season, as the former previously covered 1.2 scoreless frames as an opener July 22 versus the Angels, with Bido tossing three scoreless innings behind him. Since Borucki hasn't covered more than two innings in any appearance this season, he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order before turning the contest over to Bido, who will be the Pirates pitcher most likely to factor into any decision. Look for Bido to cover around 3-to-5 innings Sunday.

Pirates' Osvaldo Bido: Rejoining rotation Sunday
Rotowire
Bido is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Twins in Minnesota, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
After being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis this past weekend, Bido had been serving in a relief role for the Pirates, making one- and three-inning appearances Sunday versus the Reds and Monday versus the Mets, respectively. Prior to his brief demotion to the minors, Bido had been serving as a part-time starter for the Pirates, so he should be stretched out enough to provide Pittsburgh with a decent amount of length as he steps back into the rotation this weekend. Through 41 innings in the big leagues this season, Bido owns a 5.05 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB.

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: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Pirates optioned Bido to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Bido was charged with four runs (three earned) over four innings against Atlanta on Monday, leaving him with a 7.11 ERA since the All-Star break. It's uncertain who will replace Bido in the Pittsburgh rotation, but the Pirates may be ready to give Luis Ortiz another look.

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.
Bido (2-2) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on three hits and one walk over three innings against Detroit. He struck out three
After striking out Zach McKinstry to open the game, Bido served up a hanging changeup to Riley Greene in the next at-bat, which the center fielder crushed over the right-field wall to put the Tigers up 1-0. The right-hander would then hold Detroit scoreless over the next two innings before hitting a wall in the fourth, walking Kerry Carpenter to open the frame and then beaning Matt Vierling in the following at-bat. Bido was tagged for four runs in the contest for only the second time this season, and the performance led to his first loss since June 19.

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: Picks up win as primary pitcher
Rotowire
Bido (2-1) allowed four hits and a walk while striking out three over three scoreless innings, earning the win Saturday over the Angels.
Bido needed 56 pitches (35 strikes) to cover three frames, but he was part of a five-pitcher shutout. The right-hander had struggled in his previous outing, surrendering three runs over 2.2 innings against the Giants last Sunday. His pitch count has been trending down in July, which suggests he could see more work behind an opener if he remains in the majors. Bido has a 4.50 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 28:13 K:BB through 30 innings over eight appearances (six starts). He's lined up to make his next outing at home versus the Phillies if he continues to occupy a rotation spot.
