Oakland's Trevor Cahill (Achilles) scratched, Chris Bassitt to start Saturday

According to MLB.com's Jane Lee, Oakland Athletics pitcher Trevor Cahill has been scratched from his start Saturday against the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Cahill has a minor Achilles injury and won't require a trip to the disabled list. However, he'll miss this start and allow Chris Bassitt to -- re-called from Triple-A -- to take the mound this afternoon.

Cahill is projected to go 3-3 with a 3.70 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over the remainder of the year.
