Oakland Athletics right-hander Chris Bassitt was carted off the field Tuesday night after he was struck on the side of the head by a line drive during the second inning of a 9-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Bassitt went down on the mound right after he was hit, holding his head, and his teammates quickly waved to the dugout for assistance. A's center fielder Starling Marte had his hands on his head as Bassitt was driven by him. White Sox infielder Jake Lamb, who played with Bassitt last year in Oakland, said it was hard to concentrate after the play. White Sox pitcher Reynaldo López also said he was shaken by what happened.
