Jonah Heim - Belts 10th homer Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Heim crushed a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning, his 10th homer of the season. It's been a fairly lackluster July for the switch hitter, as he's slashing .197/.229/.348 with three homers, 12 RBI and five runs scored across 17 contests this month. With Shea Langeliers (knee) likely out for the remainder of the season, Heim is in line to serve as the Athletics' primary catcher moving forward.

Jack Perkins - Handed sixth loss Perkins (2-6) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on a hit and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Red Sox. He struck out four.

Impact The right-hander didn't allow a run while on the mound, but after departing with two runners aboard and two outs in the sixth inning, Jose Suarez surrendered a grand slam to Ceddanne Rafaela that saddled Perkins with the loss. Monday's performance was encouraging, though it's been a challenging season for the 26-year-old, who opened the campaign in a relief role before shifting into the starting rotation in June. He owns a 6.45 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 80:27 K:BB across 68.1 innings over 26 appearances (eight starts). Perkins is next lined up to pitch Saturday against the Tigers.

Impact Tolle was tagged for solo homers in the first and sixth innings but otherwise limited the damage while pitching at the hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park. The southpaw has recorded at least five strikeouts in each of his past six starts, reaching the seven-punchout mark four times during that stretch. Overall, the 23-year-old owns a 3.32 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 103:27 K:BB across 95 innings (17 starts) this season. Tolle's next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Dodgers.
