A's catcher Shea Langeliers to undergo season-ending knee surgery

Shea Langeliers of the Oakland Athletics will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. The injury was revealed following a difficult road trip for the A's, which left them with a 44-61 record. The team is now shifting focus to Jonah Heim as the starting catcher, while Langeliers concludes the season with a.263 batting average, 23 home runs, and his first All-Star selection. There are ongoing concerns about the team's future plans regarding Langeliers, whose two years of club control are dwindling. As the team prepares for a transition to Las Vegas, trade speculations may arise regarding their catching depth.
