Jack Perkins will make his season debut as a starter for the A’s against Peter Lambert in a series with the Astros, following injuries to Aaron Civale and Luis Severino. Gage Jump and Kade Morris are also stepping into the rotation due to recent changes. J.T. Ginn has been performing well, while Perkins, who has a 5.46 ERA this season, aims to solidify his role. The A’s are currently 2.5 games behind the Mariners and hold the final Wild Card spot at 30-32.
