Shea Langeliers Fantasy Stats

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers is not in the lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Willie MacIver will take over behind the plate and hit ninth in a meeting with right-hander Brayan Bello. Langeliers is getting a breather after starting eight straight games. The 27-year-old slugger has hit a solid .280/.379/.420 in 12 contests in September, though he has only gone deep once. He has belted 30 homers this season and slashed .263/.316/.524 with 68 RBI, 69 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 494 plate appearances. Langeliers, Seattle's Cal Raleigh, and Colorado's Hunter Goodman are the only primary catchers who have reached the 30-HR mark in 2025.

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers made history in Tuesday's 16-7 win over the Nationals. Batting leadoff for the first time in his career, Langeliers went 5-for-6 with a single, a double, and three solo home runs. The 27-year-old became the second catcher in Major League history to hit three HR in a game while batting leadoff. The former fantasy prospect has come into his own this season, slashing .272/.323/.545 with 22 HR, 48 RBI, and five stolen bases in 341 plate appearances. The Athletics have hit surprisingly well as a team, making Langeliers a solid fantasy option, regardless of where he hits in the lineup.

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) wasted no time in getting back to contributing offensively in Monday's 6-4 win over the Rays. Langeliers, who returned from the 10-day injured list after dealing with a strained left oblique, went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run. The 27-year-old got things going right away, lining a first-inning Drew Rasmussen fastball over the left-center wall to plate three. Langeliers picked up right where he left off before his IL stint and is now slashing .237/.299/.441 with 11 HR, 30 RBI, and four stolen bases in 234 plate appearances. He won't provide much in terms of batting average but should provide plenty of power, especially in hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park.

The Athletics announced on Monday that they reinstated catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and optioned catcher Willie MacIver to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Langeliers will return as the team's starting backstop after missing over three weeks with a strained left oblique. The 27-year-old right-handed-hitting catcher went 8-for-13 with a home run in just three minor-league rehab games with Vegas and will be hoping to keep that hot hitting going when he returns to the A's lineup. Fantasy managers should expect him to start right away in Monday's series opener against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Drew Rasmussen. Langeliers swings and misses too much to be a batting-average asset in fantasy, but he has above-average at the weak catching position and is already in double digits in homers with 10 in 207 at-bats.

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Wednesday with Triple-A Las Vegas, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Langeliers could be activated from the 10-day injured to return at some point this weekend if he avoids any setbacks with his left-oblique strain after a couple rehab games in the minors. The 27-year-old backstop has been out of action since June 6 with his injury, but he should immediately return to being the team's starting catcher once he's activated. Austin Wynns and Willie MacIver have been splitting playing time behind the dish in Sacramento with Langeliers sidelined. Langeliers isn't going to hit for much of an average for his fantasy managers, but he proved last year he has high-end power at the catching position by hitting 29 balls over the wall in 137 games. He has 10 through his first 56 contests in 2025.

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) was able to take part in batting practice ahead of Saturday's game. Langeliers looked good swinging the bat and was crushing the ball, so it sounds like he's making good progress. He's currently working his way back from an oblique injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list in early June. It's unclear if Langeliers is going to need a rehab assignment. Before going down, Langeliers was slashing .237/.300/.430 with 10 homers and 27 RBI this season. In the meantime, Austin Wynns and Willie Maclver will split up the duties behind the plate for the A's.

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) has started a hitting progression as he works towards his return from a left oblique strain that has sidelined him since June 6. Langeliers was hitting .237 with 10 home runs in his first 56 games this season with a .316 wOBA and 45.5% hard-hit rate. He is eligible to return from the injured list when he is ready, and it's great news that he started this progression. However, it isn't clear at this point if he will need a quick rehab assignment or come right back to the Athletics' major-league roster. When he returns, he'll step back in as the team's everyday catcher and be one of the better power options at the position. Until he's back, Austin Wynns and Willie MacIver will continue to fill in behind the plate.

The Athletics announced on Friday that they placed catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) on the 10-day injured list and recalled catcher Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Langeliers injured himself in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins and will now be out for at least 10 days. Given the nature of his injury, though, there's a good bet that the 27-year-old's absence could extend longer than that and possibly into July. In the meantime, the A's will use Pereda and Willie MacIver behind the plate in Sacramento. MacIver is getting the start behind the dish on Friday and is hitting eighth against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer. For his power alone at the weak catching position, Langeliers should be stashed in fantasy leagues. He is hitting .237 (49-for-207) on the year with 10 homers, 27 RBI, 25 runs and four stolen bases.

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (side) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins. It's not exactly clear what's wrong with Langeliers, but he appears to have suffered a side or oblique injury during Thursday's contest. The expectation is that Langeliers will undergo further testing, so fantasy managers should get another update on his status. He went 1-for-4 with a double and a pair of strikeouts before leaving the game. Logan Davidson took over at the designated hitter spot for the rest of the contest.

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers is not in Sunday's lineup when they conclude a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Langeliers has started each of the past five games. During this stretch, the 27-year-old has gone 3-for-19 at the plate, with a double and a home run. Fantasy managers should expect Langeliers to return to the starting nine on Monday when they begin a series against the Minnesota Twins. This afternoon, the Athletics will give Willie MacIver the nod behind the dish. He will bat in the eight-hole. MacIver was promoted to the majors on May 23. Through his first taste of MLB action, the 28-year-old has gone 1-for-5 at the plate with one strikeout. Given his lack of experience, he is best to fade in DFS facing Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman.
