Athletics' Jack Perkins: Promoted Sunday
The Athletics called up Perkins from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
The right-hander has been working as a starter with Las Vegas and has a 2.86 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 68:20 K:BB across 44 innings this season, though it appears he'll initially work out of the bullpen for the A's since the club has announced their rotation plans for their next four games. According to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, Perkins will be available out of the bullpen Sunday against Cleveland, though the skipper didn't specify whether the 25-year-old will stick in that role going forward.

Athletics' Mitch Spence: Tagged for four runs in loss
Spence (2-2) took the loss against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings.
Spence's downfall was the second frame, when he gave up all four of his runs and six of his eight hits. Outside of that, he notched three 1-2-3 innings and just two singles. The four runs were a season-worst mark for Spence, who came into Saturday having allowed just two runs over 17 frames across his previous four starts. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to be a tough road matchup versus the Yankees.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Ejected from Saturday's game
Butler was ejected in the fifth inning of Saturday's game against the Guardians, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Butler struck out looking in the fifth and was tossed from Saturday's game for arguing balls and strikes with the home plate umpire. He'll end the night having struck out in all three plate appearances. Denzel Clarke entered the game in center field, with JJ Bleday shifting to right.

Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Progressing in recovery
Langeliers (oblique) participated in batting practice Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Langeliers landed on the 10-day injured list in early June due to a left oblique strain, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to resume swinging a bat. Whether Langeliers will need to embark on a rehab assignment will largely depend on how his oblique reacts to increased work. He was slashing .237/.300/.430 with four steals, 10 doubles, 10 home runs and 27 RBI in 230 plate appearances prior to his injury.

Athletics' Denzel Clarke: Absent from Saturday's lineup
Clarke is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Guardians on Monday.
Clarke will take a seat after going 1-for-3 with a run in Friday's 5-1 win over Cleveland. The 25-year-old has slashed .218/.246/.255 with four steals, two doubles and a 36.8 percent strikeout rate in 57 plate appearances since the beginning of July, but his defensive prowess has earned him an everyday role in the outfield. JJ Bleday will start in center field and bat seventh.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Logs fifth steal
Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.
Prior to Friday, Soderstrom had gone just 4-for-31 (.129) with five walks and six strikeouts over a nine-game span since his previous multi-hit effort. He's up to five steals this season, three of which have come in June, but he's not expected to be a big source of speed. The 23-year-old is batting .249 with a .776 OPS, 14 home runs, 45 RBI, 41 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple over 77 contests this season. With Nick Kurtz having retaken a starting role at first base after a stint on the injured list due to a hip issue, Soderstrom has settled in as the Athletics' starting left fielder once again.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Three hits in Friday's win
Butler went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.
Butler supplied an RBI single with the bases loaded in the sixth inning. The outfielder has gone 9-for-30 (.300) with three extra-base hits and three RBI over his last seven games. For the season, he's up to a .264/.325/.459 slash line with 11 home runs, 32 RBI, 44 runs scored and 11 stolen bases. As a leadoff hitter, Butler's RBI chances are likely to remain limited, but he continues to offer a decent combination of power and speed with steady playing time in right field.

Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Keeps power surge going
Kurtz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.
Kurtz took a break from his recent stretch of late homers, instead delivering a first-inning blast Friday. He's gone deep five times during his six-game hitting streak, accounting for half of his 10 long balls on the year. The first baseman has added a .252/.307/.526 slash line, 25 RBI and 18 runs scored over his first 150 plate appearances in the majors.

Athletics' Jeffrey Springs: Excellent in sixth win
Springs (6-5) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out six over 7.1 innings to earn the win Friday over the Guardians.
Springs kept the Guardians off the board until Angel Martinez's solo home run in the eighth inning. This was Springs' longest outing of the year, and he threw 69 of 104 pitches for strikes to earn his second quality start in a row. He seems to have benefited from making a couple of appearances behind an opener. Springs is now at a 4.24 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 72:32 K:BB over 87 innings through 16 outings (14 starts), and he's walked just three batters over 26 innings in June. The southpaw is projected for a tough road matchup versus the Tigers next week.

Athletics' Michael Kelly: Stellar since reinstatement
Kelly (1-0) earned the win in Thursday's 6-4 victory over the Astros. He allowed no hits and one walk over a scoreless inning.
The right-hander was summoned for the 10th inning and escaped unscathed, inducing an inning-ending double play off the bat of Jake Meyers to set the stage for a Nick Kurtz walk-off homer. Kelly was reinstated June 5 after serving a year-long suspension for violating MLB's gambling policy. Since returning, the reliever has tossed 6.2 scoreless innings. While his 3.65 FIP and 5.4 BB/9 suggest potential regression, the Athletics have to be encouraged by Kelly's performance after a year off from MLB action.

Athletics' Willie MacIver: Homer, steal in win
MacIver went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.
MacIver opened the scoring with his first big-league homer, a second-inning solo shot. This was his second multi-hit effort, and he's now batting .237 with three RBI, three runs scored, two steals and three doubles over 13 contests. MacIver and Austin Wynns will continue to share catching duties while Shea Langeliers (oblique) is out.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Goes yard Thursday
Butler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.
Butler was given an off day Wednesday after going 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series versus Houston. The day off appeared to serve him well, as the outfielder bounced back with a second-inning solo shot. He earned his second multi-hit effort over the last nine games, a cool stretch that followed his fantastic start to June. Butler is at a .257/.320/.455 slash line with 11 homers, 31 RBI, 44 runs scored and 11 stolen bases over 72 contests. After finishing two steals short of a 20-20 campaign over 125 games in 2024, he's on pace to reach that milestone this year.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Blasts ninth homer
Wilson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.
Wilson had gone four games without a multi-hit effort, and his homer Thursday was his first since June 5. The shortstop is batting .410 (25-for-61) over 16 games this month, though just five of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. Wilson continues to be a contact machine, batting .359 with a .908 OPS, nine homers, 39 RBI, 40 runs scored and five stolen bases over 71 contests. He tied Aaron Judge with 101 hits to lead the majors so far this season, and no other player has more than 94 through Thursday's action.

Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Lifts walk-off blast
Kurtz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.
Kurtz has found a taste for clutch power lately, delivering four homers over the last five games, all in the ninth inning or later. His blast Thursday was a walk-off homer against Josh Hader in the 10th. The hot hitting has Kurtz up to a .252/.308/.511 slash line for the year, and he's added nine homers, 23 RBI, 17 runs scored, five doubles and one triple over 37 contests. He's batting .270 (10-for-37) over nine games since he returned from a hip injury.

Athletics' Mason Miller: Takes blown save Thursday
Miller allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over 1.1 innings, taking a blown save in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.
Miller was brought in with two outs in the eighth inning, but he allowed a game-tying, three-run home run to Victor Caratini. Miller stayed in for the ninth and kept the game tied, but he didn't reap the rewards of that effort, as Michael Kelly pitched the 10th and earned the win. Miller has converted 14 of 17 save chances this season, so his status as the Athletics' closer isn't in question despite mediocre ratios. He's at a 5.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 46:14 K:BB over 27.2 innings.
