Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt took a 100-mph line drive off the bat of Chicago White Sox outfielder Brian Goodwin to the face last week.

Bassitt didn't take any damage to the eye area, but he did suffer a facial fracture. He was kept in Chicago while the doctors waited for the swelling to go down before performing surgery.

He underwent surgery on Tuesday, according to the Athletics.

"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."
