Langeliers Out, A's Struggle Continues | Oakland Athletics News

Shea Langeliers, the A’s All-Star catcher and one of the game’s top backstops, is sidelined after tearing his meniscus while running the bases — a setback that could end his season if surgery is needed. Called up to fill his spot is Brian Serven, and with Langeliers now on the 10-day IL retroactive to Saturday, any trade hopes vanish before the August 3 deadline. A three-time 20+ home run catcher (including 23 this year), he’s the first A’s catcher to earn All-Star honors since 1989 — and now, his knee may silence his bat for good. The A’s, already struggling with a 6-22 record in their last 28 games, face another brutal blow as they chase a playoff return for the first time since 2020.
