Perkins Struggles, Joey Steps In | Oakland Athletics News

The Athletics shuffle their bullpen, sending struggling pitcher Perkins down and calling up Joey to fill the innings gap—while keeping faith in Perkins’ potential. Joey, who’s been solid in Triple-A and even started a game in Vegas, is ready to pitch when needed, with a possible start later this season if things break right. Meanwhile, JT’s future hangs in the balance as he prepares for an orthopedic evaluation tomorrow—balancing his season finish with long-term health. On the bright side, Tommy White is making strides, hitting in the cage and possibly returning off the bench soon. And Ken gets another shot tonight, aiming for 65-70 pitches against a tough lineup, despite needing more seasoning in Triple-A.
