Jack Perkins - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Struggles in spring debut Perkins (shoulder) allowed two runs on two hits and two walks across 0.2 innings in Saturday's Cactus League loss to the White Sox. He struck out one.

Impact Perkins wasn't at his sharpest in his spring debut, surrendering a leadoff double to Chase Meidroth and a two-out, two-RBI double to Edgar Quero before being lifted prior to completing the first inning. While the results weren't ideal, the right-hander getting back on the mound in game action is a positive development after he finished the 2025 season on the injured list with a right shoulder strain. Perkins will look to earn a spot in the starting rotation this spring, though he worked out of the bullpen in eight of his 12 big-league appearances last season.

Slated to start Saturday Perkins (shoulder) will start in the Athletics' Cactus League opener against the White Sox on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Perkins is expected to pitch one inning in Saturday's sign, but his ability to take the mound is a good sign, given that he ended the 2025 season on the 15-day IL due to a right shoulder strain. It's not clear whether Perkins will be a part of the rotation or operate out of the bullpen in 2026, so his performance in spring training will dictate what his role will be by Opening Day, assuming he's healthy.

Impact "He's a weapon that we have yet to determine the path," Kotsay said. Perkins was much more effective as a reliever (2.75 ERA, 24.7 percent strikeout rate) than as a starter (5.68 ERA, 21.4 percent strikeout rate) during his time with the Athletics last season, but the 26-year-old is one of the A's better young arms so the team doesn't want to relegate him to a relief role just yet. The right-handed Perkins ended last season on the injured list with a right shoulder strain, and it's not clear if he has any restrictions at the start of camp.
