Jack Perkins Injury: Shelved with shoulder injury

The Athletics placed Perkins on the 15-day injured list Friday with a strained right shoulder.

Perkins likely sustained the injury during his start in the Athletics' victory over the Twins on Thursday, when he yielded two runs over five innings en route to claiming his third win in as many outings. The 25-year-old has pitched effectively across his eight relief appearances and four starts for the Athletics, but the shoulder injury could be significant enough to keep him out for the remainder of the season. The Athletics will likely send Perkins in for further testing before a clearer timeline for his return is established.
