2026 Fantasy Outlook
Perkins earned his first big-league promotion in June 2025 after he had collected a 2.86 ERA and 68:20 K:BB over his first 44 innings at Triple-A Las Vegas. The Athletics initially used the 26-year-old as a multi-inning reliever, even giving him a save chance at one point because a Mason Miller trade was in the works. Perkins' final four outings came in the rotation and they were less successful, as he held a 5.68 ERA and 18:11 K:BB over 19 frames before going down with a strained shoulder. As long as he's healthy, Perkins should get another chance to start for the Athletics in 2026. It's worrisome, though, that the righty missed significant time with a lat injury in 2024 and then a shoulder issue in 2025. Perkins also must again pitch his home games at Sutter Health Park, where he held a 6.61 ERA in 2025 (versus a 2.42 ERA on the road). Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in March of 2026.
Settles for first hold Friday
Perkins recorded his first hold of the season in Friday's 4-3 win over the Orioles, giving up one run on one hit and one walk over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.
Analysis
Entering the game in the ninth inning to protect a 4-2 lead, Perkins couldn't get the job done, tossing just 13 of 25 pitches for strikes and getting the hook with the tying run aboard. Hogan Harris picked up the final out to get the save. Perkins is the preferred closing option for A's manager Mark Kotsay, but the 26-year-old righty is still in his probationary period and has been scored upon in back-to-back appearances. On the season, Perkins sports a 4.11 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 15.1 innings while converting three of four save chances.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perkins broke out in 2024 after his season was delayed by a lat injury. The powerful 6-foot-1 righty had a 2.96 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 100 strikeouts in 76 innings at Double-A as a 24-year-old, and he got better as the season went on. He had three 10-K outings and a 0.99 WHIP over his final nine starts, and he may not need much time at Triple-A to be deemed ready for primetime. Perkins has legitimate stuff to back up his impressive 2024 stats, boasting a mid-90s fastball with good carry, a plus slider and a decent cutter. His changeup and curveball could use some refinement, and he will face questions about his strike throwing until he proves himself in the majors, just due to the fact he's already 25 years old. However, the pitcher Perkins was down the stretch last year looked like a potential mid-rotation starter in the big leagues, so he's a nice sleeper in dynasty and in redraft.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain role for 2026
It remains uncertain whether Perkins will be a starter or reliever for the Athletics in 2026, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com.
Analysis
Perkins debuted as a top prospect in 2025 and showed flashes of his talent, but his season was cut short by a shoulder injury. He could either be a starter or one of the team's top relievers if they don't think he can hold up over a full season as a starter. Perkins will enter camp pushing for a spot on the rotation, though.
