Dodgers' Cameron Perkins: Inks MiLB deal
Perkins signed a minor-league contract including an invitation to spring training with the Dodgers on Friday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Perkins spent the majority of his 2018 season at Triple-A Tacoma, slashing .257/.312/.420 with 10 homers and 48 RBI over 94 games. He'll have a shot to win a spot on the initial 25-man roster, although it's more likely that he'll begin the year at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Mariners' Cameron Perkins: Returns from minor-league DL
Perkins (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day disabled list Friday and appeared in three games for Triple-A Tacoma over the weekend, going a combined 2-for-12 at the plate.
Perkins was sidelined for a little less than two weeks due to the undisclosed issue. The 27-year-old, who is slashing .260/.322/.407 across 60 games in the Pacific Coast League this season, should continue to see steady at-bats with Tacoma now that he's back to full health.

Mariners' Cameron Perkins: Lands on DL
Perkins was placed on the 7-day disabled list Thursday with an undisclosed injury, Josh Kirshenbaum of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Perkins missed time on the disabled list earlier in the season, so it's unclear if he's dealing with the same type of injury. He's pieced together a .265/.329/.420 batting line through 57 games at Triple-A Tacoma in 2018.

Mariners' Cameron Perkins: Placed on minor-league DL
Perkins was placed on the minor-league disabled list Wednesday.
Perkins was hitting a solid .293/.367/.466 across 46 games with Triple-A Tacoma prior to landing on the shelf. Specifics regarding the injury remain unclear at this point, as does a timetable for his return.

Mariners' Cameron Perkins: Sent to Tacoma
Perkins was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Perkins failed to make the Mariners' Opening Day roster this spring and has now been removed from the 40-man roster entirely. The 27-year-old reached the majors for the first time last year with the Phillies, struggling to a .182/.237/.273 line in 97 plate appearances. He fared far better in 295 plate appearances for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, posting a .288/.374/.447 line. He could eventually receive another opportunity to prove that those numbers can translate to the big-league level, but as he's currently not on the 40-man roster he's unlikely to be one of the first names called upon when reinforcements are needed.

Mariners' Cameron Perkins: Optioned to minors
The Mariners optioned Perkins to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Perkins' slim hopes of winning an Opening Day roster spot may have been dashed after the Mariners agreed to a one-year deal with franchise icon Ichiro Suzuki earlier this month. The 27-year-old should see steady at-bats with Tacoma this season and could earn a look in the big leagues in the event injuries thin the outfield ranks.

Mariners' Cameron Perkins: Claimed by Seattle
Perkins was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Monday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Perkins made his major-league debut with the Phillies last season, though he struggled to get things going, hitting just .182/.237/.273 with one homer in 42 games. He provided a much more respectable .288/.374/.447 triple-slash in 76 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, however, and should provide the Mariners with much needed outfield depth.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Back up with Phillies for Sunday start
Perkins has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will start in center field Sunday against the Marlins.
Perkins mustered just a .177 batting average over 79 at-bats during his time with the club earlier this season, but the Phillies look ready to give the 26-year-old another shot. He'll bat eighth in the order Sunday, drawing the start in center field -- a job that had been occupied by Pedro Florimon for eight of the last nine games.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Returning to Triple-A
Perkins was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
In an effort to make room for Drew Anderson on their roster, the Phillies are sending Perkins back to Lehigh Valley. Perkins hasn't been an intriguing fantasy option this season, as he owns a .177 batting average and .480 OPS.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Absent from Game 2 lineup
Perkins is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Marlins.
Entering Tuesday's doubleheader, Perkins had started four of the Phillies' previous five games. Despite that recent string of starts, the young outfielder will be out of the starting lineup for each game of the twin bill. Nick Williams will man center field with Hyun Soo Kim drawing the start in right for Game 2.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Hits bench in Game 1 of twin bill
Perkins is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Marlins.
Perkins had entered the starting nine for four of the Phillies' last five games after Odubel Herrera's (hamstring) move to the disabled list created an opening in the outfield. All four of those starts came against left-handed pitchers, so it appears that Perkins could find himself on the short end of a platoon in left field with Hyun Soo Kim, who gets the start in Game 1. Both players will settle back into smaller roles once one of Herrera, Aaron Altherr (hamstring) or Daniel Nava (back) returns from the DL.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Recalled from Triple-A
Perkins was recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
With Daniel Nava (back) landing on the disabled list, Perkins was summoned back to the big club to offer outfield depth off the bench. The 26-year-old has struggled during his brief time with the Phillies this season, slashing just .194/.271/.258 in 30 games.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Sent down to minors
Perkins was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Perkins was sent packing in order to clear a spot on the roster for Rhys Hoskins, ending his second stint with the big club after a mere five days. The 26-year-old has struggled in a major way with Philadelphia this year, and it's possible he will be a DFA candidate in the near future, as the Phillies could decide they want to get a look at a more promising youngster over the season's final month.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Recalled from Triple-A
Perkins was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.
Aaron Altherr landed on the DL with a hamstring strain, so the Phillies added another outfielder to provide depth off the bench. Perkins has a .298/.388/.476 slash line with six home runs in 63 games at Triple-A, but was much worse (.207/.277/.276) in 65 plate appearances in the big leagues this year.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Optioned to Triple-A
The Phillies optioned Perkins to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Perkins had just 30 at-bats in the month of July, so the Phillies have sent him back to the minors to get more playing time. Daniel Nava is expected to come off the disabled list Wednesday to take Perkins' roster spot.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Playing time cut
Perkins has just two at-bats over the Phillies' last four games.
Perkins has seen his playing time cut sharply with the arrival of Nick Williams from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He has not played in the past two games and was used as a pinch hitter in the prior two games, going 1-for-2 with a double and a walk. Perkins is going to have a difficult time getting into the lineup with any regularity as long as Williams remains in the majors.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Makes third straight start Friday
Perkins went 0-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 6-1 win over Arizona.
Perkins has now made three straight starts, twice in left field and once in right field, and hit leadoff in each of those games. He has just two hits since his promotion and has yet to draw a walk despite his strong walk rate at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season. Manager Pete Mackanin said earlier this week he intends to give Perkins plenty of playing time, but he'll need to produce to maintain his at-bats and his leadoff spot while Cesar Hernandez (oblique) is sidelined.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Will get first major-league start Wednesday
Manager Pete Mackanin said Perkins will get his first major-league start Wednesday, Teddy Bailey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Perkins got his first at-bat in the majors Tuesday, flying out as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning. He should get a fair amount of playing time in left field if he's able to produce at the plate. Perkins hit .298 at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season and his .388 on-base percentage ranked third among International League hitters.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Will lead off Wednesday
Perkins is making his first start in the majors Wednesday, and will be slotted into the leadoff position against the Cardinals, Matt Gelb of the Philly Inquirer reports.
Perkins gets the start in left field for the Phillies against right-hander Mike Leake. The 26-year-old came into Tuesday's contest as a pinch hitter, flying out in his only at-bat. While playing at the Triple-A level in Lehigh Valley this season, Perkins hit .298/.388/.476 with six home runs and 21 RBI in 62 games.

Phillies' Cameron Perkins: Promoted to majors Tuesday
The Phillies selected Perkins' contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The Phillies cut Michael Saunders to make room on their roster for Perkins. He hit .298/.388/.476 with six home runs and a stolen base in 208 at-bats for Lehigh Valley this season. Perkins likely got the call over Nick Williams and Dylan Cozens because the Phillies do not intend to have him start regularly. He will likely split time with Daniel Nava in left field, but could carve out more playing time if he capitalizes on his opportunities.
