Handed another start Perkins is slated to start Saturday's game against the Athletics at Camden Yards.

Impact Though Perkins had posted a 2.75 ERA while working as a reliever in his first eight MLB appearances, he was moved into the rotation this past weekend, despite the Athletics having an opening at closer after dealing away Mason Miller at the trade deadline. In his first career start in last Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks, Perkins struck out four but was tagged for four earned runs on five hits and three walks. The Athletics are intending to develop the 25-year-old right-hander as a starter over the long haul, so Perkins should have some extended runway in the rotation even after his inauspicious outing last weekend. Perkins tossed a season-high 62 pitches against the Diamondbacks, so he'll likely have some kind of workload restriction in place once again in his second start.

Struggles in first career start Perkins (0-2) took the loss against the Diamondbacks Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over three innings.

Impact Making the first start of his career after working in a long relief role, Perkins labored through three frames and needed a season-high 62 pitches to get there. The 25-year-old righty had been effective out of the bullpen, carrying a 2.75 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB over 19.2 innings entering Sunday. While the transition to the rotation didn't yield immediate success, Perkins could get another opportunity, as the A's continue to test their depth after the departure of Mason Miller and JP Sears.

Getting shot in rotation Perkins is moving into the Athletics' rotation and will start Sunday versus Arizona, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact When Mason Miller was traded to San Diego at the deadline, many expected Perkins to move into the closer role. Instead, the rookie right-hander will get a look in the rotation, and it sounds like Sunday's start won't be a one-off. Perkins has pitched well for the A's, posting a 2.75 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB over 19.2 innings spanning eight appearances, but he hasn't gone more than 3.1 innings or 54 pitches in any outing. With that in mind, Perkins may be on some sort of a pitch count Sunday, though he won't be new to a starting role having mainly worked in that capacity as a minor-leaguer. As far as closer duties, it's unclear how that may shake out -- Michael Kelly could be the lead candidate for save chances, but a closer-by-committee situation is also a possibility.

Secures two-inning save Perkins allowed one run on one hit with no walks or strikeouts over two innings to notch a save against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Impact Perkins entered in the eighth inning and retired the side in order in that frame. He served up a solo homer to Randy Arozarena in the ninth but didn't give up any additional hits and finished off the win to record his third save. Perkins has been quite effective for the A's since making his big-league debut June 22, posting a 2.75 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB over 19.2 innings spanning eight appearances. Interestingly, manager Mark Kotsay said after Wednesday's contest that closer Mason Miller was unavailable, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, despite not dealing with an injury and not having pitched since July 26. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Athletics and Padres are in discussions on a trade for Miller, and if the fireballing reliever were to be dealt, Perkins could be a candidate to ascend to the closer role.

Claims first hold Saturday Perkins collected a hold and struck out three while allowing no hits and one walk over three scoreless innings in a relief appearance in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Guardians.

Impact Perkins faced the minimum nine batters during his 31-pitch outing, as he atoned for the walk he issued to Carlos Santana to begin the bottom of the seventh by generating an inning-ending double play. Since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 22, the 25-year-old righty has looked sharp as a long man out of the bullpen, netting a pair of saves while accruing a 2.84 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB in 12.2 innings. Manager Mark Kotsay hasn't closed the door on Perkins making starts with the Athletics before the end of the season, but the righty's usage out of the bullpen Saturday suggests that he likely won't be in line to fill the vacant spot in the club's rotation Tuesday in Texas.

Option to join rotation Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said recently that Perkins is an option to join the team's rotation out of the All-Star break, Jason Burke of Athletics on SI reports.

Impact The Athletics closed out the first half with four starters in their rotation after optioning Mitch Spence to Triple-A Las Vegas. All four of Perkins' appearances in the majors have come in relief, but he went at least three innings in three of them and is also one of the club's better starting pitching prospects. Perkins has struck out 11 over 9.2 innings with the A's and has totaled 68 punchouts in 44 frames this season at Las Vegas. Kotsay also mentioned J.T. Ginn and Osvaldo Bido as potential options for the rotation.
