Jack Perkins Has No Timetable for Return

Athletics starting pitcher Jack Perkins (shoulder) received a subacromial injection and does not have a timetable for return at this point after being placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a strained right shoulder. The 25-year-old righty is one of the organization's top pitching prospects, so the team will likely be cautious bringing […]

Denzel Clarke Not Running or Hitting Yet

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (adductor) is improving and has "made progress," but the 25-year-old is not currently running or hitting. He still seems to be a ways away from a possible return before the end of the season. The rookie made a splash with an impressive highlight reel in center field over his 47 games […]

Luis Severino to Throw Simulated Game on Wednesday

Athletics starting pitcher Luis Severino (oblique) has been on the shelf since early in August due to a left oblique strain, but is ready to face live hitters on Wednesday in a simulated game.

He has been hitting well in the minors and is deserving of another shot at the big league level. Gelof struggled with a .211/.270./362 slash line with 188 strikeouts […]
