26-Year-Old PitcherRP

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

Fans eight but takes loss Friday
PSacramento Athletics
July 4, 2026
Perkins (2-4) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Marlins after allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out eight.
Analysis
The eight strikeouts tied Perkins' season-high mark, but he couldn't escape the fourth inning and was tagged with his fourth loss of the season. Perkins has allowed at least three runs in all but one of his six appearances since the beginning of June, posting an 8.10 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 26.2 innings in that span. With those numbers, it's hard to trust him in any fantasy format, as he hasn't pitched more than five frames in any outing this season.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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
PSacramento Athletics
February 16, 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.
